An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only

a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of m a = 124 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of m b = 13.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at v i = 2.10 m / s initially, what is the minimum final speed v b , f of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever?

Answer:

vb = 22.13 m/s

Explanation:

ma = 124 kg

mb = 13 kg

vi = 2.10 m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, and considering that, initially, both the astronaut and the bag moved together at 2.10 m/s:

(m_a+m_b)v_i=m_av_a+m_bv_b

The minimum final velocity of the bag, vb, the will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever occurs when va = 0:

(124+13)2.10=124*0+13v_b\\v_b=\frac{287.7}{13}\\v_b= 22.13\ m/s

The minimum final velocity of the bag is 22.13 m/s.

Your bike starts with an initial velocity of 1 m/s and you accelerate to 4 m/s in 6 seconds. How far did you travel while accele
garri49 [273]

Answer:

78 m

Explanation:

Initial v = 1 m/s

a = 4 m/s²

t = 6s

x = v_{i} t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\x = (1)(6) + \frac{1}{2} (4)(6)^{2} \\x = 6 + 72\\x = 78

A charge of 12 c passes through an electroplating apparatus in 2. 0 min. what is the average current?
NemiM [27]

The average current is 0.10 A.

<h3>Current </h3>

Charge moving through a location on a circuit at a constant rate is called current. When numerous coulombs of charge pass over a wire's cross section in a circuit, it produces a large current. It is not necessary for a wire to be moving at a fast speed in order to have a high current if the charge carriers are tightly packed into the wire. To put it another way, many charge carriers traveling through the cross section is sufficient; they do not need to travel a great distance in a single instant. The amount of charges that flow through a cross section of wire on a circuit, as opposed to how far they travel in a second, is what determines current.

Ford used to make a 7.0 liter engine. Calculate how many many cubic inches would be the same size engine.
Anestetic [448]

Answer : The volume of engine in cubic inches is, 427.166\text{ inch}^3

Explanation :

As we are given that the volume of engine is, 7.0 liters. Now we have to calculate the volume of engine in cubic inches.

Conversion used :

1\text{ liter}=1000cm^3

So, 7\text{ liter}=7000cm^3

1\text{ inch}=2.54cm

or,

1cm=\frac{1}{2.54}\text{ inch}

1cm^3=(\frac{1}{2.54}\text{ inch})^3

As,

1cm^3=(\frac{1}{2.54}\text{ inch})^3

So,

7000cm^3=\frac{7000cm^3}{1cm^3}\times (\frac{1}{2.54}\text{ inch})^3=427.166\text{ inch}^3

Thu, the volume of engine in cubic inches is, 427.166\text{ inch}^3
