The object's speed will not change.
In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.

The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

When chilies burn in our mouths, the surrounding temperature does not affect how hot the taste of the chilli is. It is only the spiciness that we taste in our mouths. This spiciness is caused by the chemical called capsaicin. This chemical is contained in the cells of the chilli. Capsaicin irritates the cells in your mouth so that is why you feel the discomfort in your mouth.
Hope it helps :)
Answer:
0.31 m
Explanation:
m = mass of the block = 1.5 kg
H = height from which the block is released on ramp = 0.81 m
k = spring constant of the spring = 250 N/m
x = maximum compression of the spring
using conservation of energy
Spring potential energy gained by spring = Potential energy lost by block
(0.5) k x² = mgH
(0.5) (250) x² = (1.5) (9.8) (0.81)
x = 0.31 m
The velocity is a vectorial quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it depends on the direction!
As such, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing.
