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.

A gas is compressed at constant temperature from a volume of 5.68 L to a volume of 2.35 L by an external pressure of 732 torr. C

Vlada [557]

Answer: The work done in J is 324

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

$W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)$

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 732 torr = 0.96 atm (760torr =1atm)

$V_1$ = initial volume = 5.68 L

$V_2$ = final volume = 2.35 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$W=-0.96atm\times (2.35-5.68)L=3.20L.atm$

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

$1L.atm=101.33J$

So, $3.20L.atm=3.20\times 101.3=324J$

The positive sign indicates the work is done on the system

Hence, the work done for the given process is 324 J

An implanted pacemaker supplies the heart with 72 pulses per minute, each pulse providing 6.0 V for 0.65 ms. The resistance of t

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a) Current = 11 mA

b) Energy = 66 mJ

c) Power = 101.54 W

Explanation:

a) Voltage, V = IR

Voltage, V = 6 V, Resistance, R = 550 Ω

Current, I $=\frac{6}{550}=0.011A=11mA$

b) Energy = Current x Voltage = 6 x 0.011 = 0.066 J = 66 mJ

c) $\texttt{Power=}\frac{Energy}{Time}=\frac{0.066}{0.65\times 10^{-3}}=101.54W$

A solid sphere of radius A has auniform magnatization

worty [1.4K]

Answers and Explanation:

The step by step explanation is clearly screenshot in the two attachments below for easy understanding.

NOTE:

A uniform charged solid sphere of radius R carries a total charge Q, it therefore has its charge density as Q/(4/3ΠR³). And to find magnetic moment of a sphere, the sphere has to be divided into infinitesimal charges.

Magnetic Dipole Moment of the sphere would be given as 1/5QwR²z

How did William Harvey's ideas about autopsies differ from the cultural ideas of his time?

rusak2 [61]

William Harvey wanted to conduct public autopsies si that the general public might learn from them. However, at that time, anatomical studies were considered as taboos and were disproved by the doctrines. Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings were also charged with heresy.
