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.

Kay [80]

The answers are; air, fuel, back, forward

The jet engine utilizes the principle that for every action force there is an equal reaction force in the opposite direction. When the exhaust from the combustion in the engine is ejected with great force backwards, the reaction force pushes the plane forward with an equivalent force.

15. A machine must move an object 15.1 meters by exerting a 121 Newton force. If the machine
Tcecarenko [31]

The power provided by the machine is 13.24 W.

Answer:

Explanation:

Power is determined as the ratio of work done by the system or on the system to the time interval. As the work done is equal to the product of force acting on the system or by the system with the  displacement experienced by the system. The power provided by the machine will be

Power = Work done /Time

As the force is given as 121 N and the displacement is given as 15.1 m in a time interval of 2.3 minutes. The time interval should be changed to seconds for each solving ability.

Time taken = 2.3 * 60 s = 138 s

Power = (121×15.1)/138 = 13.24 W.

So the power provided by the machine is 13.24 W.
