Answer:

-0.105 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the astronaut, m(a) = 68.5 kg

Mass of the tool, m(t) = 2.25 kg

Speed of the tool after it is thrown, v(t) = 3.20 m/s

We know that momentum of a particle,

p = mv

See the attachment for calculations

Therefore, the speed is 0.105 m/s and it moves in the opposite direction.

What is the momentum of a bowling ball with mass of 8.9 kg and a speed of 6.0 m / s
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The momentum of the bowling ball is 53.4 kg-m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bowling ball is 8.9 kg

Speed of the ball is 6 m/s

It is required to find the momentum of the ball. The momentum of an object is given in terms of its mass and speed as :

p = mv

p=8.9\times 6\\\\p=53.4\ kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the bowling ball is 53.4 kg-m/s.

2. A common physics experiment involves lowering an open tube into a cylinder of water and moving the tube up and down to adjust
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question pertains to resonance in air column.  It is the case of closed air column in which fundamental note is formed at a length which is as follows

l = λ / 4 where l is length of tube and λ is wave length.

here l = .26 m

λ = .26 x 4 = 1.04 m

frequency of sound = 330 Hz

velocity of sound = frequency x wave length

= 330 x 1.04

= 343.2 m /s

b )

Next overtone will be produced at 3 times the length

so next length of air column = 3 x 26

= 78 cm

c )

If frequency of sound = 256 Hz

wavelength = velocity / frequency

= 343.2 / 256

= 1.34 m

= 134 cm

length of air column for resonance

= wavelength / 4

134/4

= 33.5 cm
