A 48.0-kg astronaut is in space, far from any objects that would exert a significant gravitational force on him. He would like t

o move toward his spaceship, but his jet pack is not functioning. He throws a 0.720-kg socket wrench with a velocity of 5.00 m/s in a direction away from the ship. After 0.500 s, he throws a 0.800-kg spanner in the same direction with a speed of 8.00 m/s. After another 9.90 s, he throws a mallet with a speed of 6.00 m/s in the same direction. The mallet has a mass of 1.20 kg. How fast is the astronaut moving after he throws the mallet?(assume all speeds are relative to the spaceship). m/s

Answer:

The astronaut is moving at a speed of 0.36m/s

Explanation:

Speed here corresponds to velocity

The astronaut's mass = 48kg

velocity of astronaut = ?

mass of socket = 0.72kg

velocity of socket = 5m/s

mass of the spanner = 0.8kg

velocity of spanner = 8m/s

change in time = 0.05 -0 = 0.05sec

mass of the mallet = 1.2kg

velocity of mallet = 6m/s

change in time = 9.9 -0 = 9.9sec

To find the astronaut velocity, we would calculate the total momentum which is the astronaut.

∑momentum (M) = ∑astronaut momentum

∑M = ∑astronaut M

∑astronaut M = M of socket + M of spanner + M of mallet

momentum = mass × velocity

(mass × velocity)of astronaut = (0.72×5) + (0.8×8) + (1.2×6)

48 × velocity of astronaut= 3.6 + 6.4 + 7.2

48 × velocity of astronaut= 17.2

velocity of astronaut = 17.2/48

velocity of astronaut = 0.36m/s

The astronaut is moving at a speed of 0.36m/s

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
Maslowich

Consider that the bar magnet has a magnetic field that is acting around it, which will imply that there is a change in the magnetic flux through the loop whenever it moves towards the conducting loop. This could be described as an induction of the electromotive Force in the circuit from Faraday's law.

In turn by Lenz's law, said electromotive force opposes the change in the magnetic flux of the circuit. Therefore, there is a force that opposes the movement of the bar magnet through the conductor loop. Therefore, the bar magnet does not suffer free fall motion.

The bar magnet does not move as a freely falling object.

Teeth are an example of which type of simple machine? lever wedge inclined plane pulley
andreev551 [17]

Answer: Teeth is an example of a wedge.

Explanation :

the machines that make our work easier are called simple machines. Some machines can be compound because they are a combination of more than two simple machines. For example, stapler.

Teeth are an example of a wedge. It is a simple machine which consists of two inclined planes. It is used to split apart objects.  

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is more than 1.

So, the correct option is (b) " Wedge".
