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

It would be B since it starts with the solar energy which is converted to electricity with the solar panels, which then creates mechanical energy for the fans blades to move and sound for the radio.

Hope that helps :)

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.
