Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

The minimum energy needed to eject an electron from a sodium atom is 4.41 x 10-19 j. what is the maximum wavelength of light, in
Minchanka [31]
The energy of an electron as it is ejected from the atom can be calculated from the product of the Planck's constant and the frequency of the light energy. We can calculate the wavelength from the frequency we can calculate. We do as follows:

E = hv
 4.41 x 10-19  = 6.62607004 × 10<span>-34 (v)
v = 6.66x10^14 /s

wavelength = speed of light / frequency
</span>
wavelength = 3x10^8 / 6.66x10^14
wavelength = 4.51x10^-7 m = 450.75 nm

Two light bulbs are wired in series and one bulb burns out (opens.) Technician A says that the other bulb will still work. Techn
Radda [10]

Answer:

Neither technician

Explanation:

Neither technician is correct.

two bulbs are connected in series one bulb burn out  

If one bulb in the series burns out then the circuit will break.

In a series circuit same current passes each resistor.

so, both the technician is incorrect bulb B will not work and current will not increase in the other bulb.

Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

If there are 50 people per square kilometer in a city, and the area of the city is 1.5 × 10 square kilometers. What is the total
qaws [65]

Answer:

750 people

Explanation:

From the question,

Number of people in the city = population density×Area of the city

N = D×A.......................... Equagtion 1

Where N = Number of people in the city, D = population density, A = Area of the city.

Given: D = 50 people per square kilometer, A = 1.5×10 square kilometer.

Substitute into equation 1

N = 50(1.5×10)

N = 750 people.

Hence the total number of people in the city is 750 people.
