Two astronauts, each having a mass of 74.3 kg are connected by a 13.1 m rope of negligible mass. They are isolated in space, orb
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

  L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a particle is given by

         L = r xp

         L = r m v sin θ

the bold are vectors, where the angle is between the position vector and the velocity, in this case it is 90º therefore the sine is 1

as we have two bodies

       L = 2 r m v

let's find the distance from the center of mass, let's place a reference frame on one of the masses

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{M} \sum  x_{i} m_{i}i

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{m+m} ( 0 + l m)

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2m}  lm

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2}

        x_{cm} = 13.1 / 2 = 6.05 m

let's calculate

          L = 2  6.05  74.3  5.65

          L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

nadya68 [22]

The gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is gravitational force?</h3>

All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.

As we know, the gravitational force is given by:

\rm F = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant.

m1 and m2 are masses.

r is the distance between the masses.

Weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

g does not affect astronauts on earth in a lunar module.

Thus, the gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

An electric bulb is rated 220 V and 100 W. When it is operated on 110 V, the
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

Case 1

Power = V * I

100 = 220 * I

I = \frac{100}{220} A

Case 2

P = V * I

P = 110 * \frac{100}{220}

P = 50 W

I think the answer is 50 W

Hope it helps

A spherical drop of water carrying a charge of 42 pC has a potential of 620 V at its surface (with V = 0 at infinity). (a) What
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

0.0006091222 m

Explanation:

q = Charge = 42 pC

V = Voltage = 620 V

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

Electric potential is given by (at r = R)

V=\dfrac{q}{4\pi\epsilon R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{q}{4\pi\epsilon V}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{42\times 10^{-12}}{4\pi\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 620}\\\Rightarrow R=0.0006091222\ m

The radius of the drop is 0.0006091222 m
