A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descending elevator that decelerates at 1.4 m/s2. (a) If the tension in the cord is 91
yanalaym [24]

Answer:8.125 kg

Explanation:

Given

deceleration of elevator a=1.4\ m/s^2

suppose T is the tension in the cord

therefore net force on lamp is

F_{net}=T-mg

F_{net}=ma

direction of a and g is in the same direction

T-mg=m(1.4)

T=m(g+a)

m=\dfrac{T}{g+a}

m=\dfrac{91}{9.8+1.4}

m=8.125\ kg

A 85-kg astronaut is stranded from his space shuttle. He throws a 1-kg hammer away from the shuttle with a velocity of 17 m/s. H
algol [13]

Answer:

0.2 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg

mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg

velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s

speed of astronaut, v' = ?

initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?

Using conservation of momentum

(M + m) V = M v' + m v

(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17

85 v' = -17

  v' = -0.2 m/s

negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.

Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s
