Explanation:
Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg
Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s
mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg
Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :
initial momentum = final momentum
Since, initial momentum is zero. So,
So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change
Explanation:
As we know that time period of oscillation of spring block system is given as
now we know that
M = mass of the object
k = spring constant
So here we know that the time period is independent of the gravity
while the maximum displacement of the spring from its mean position will depends on the gravity as
so we can say that
Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change
