Two astronauts, A and B, both with mass of 60Kg, are moving along a straight line in the same direction in a weightless spaceshi
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
From the Question we are told that
Mass of A and B is 60kg
Speed of A=2m/s
Speed of B=1m/s
Mass of bag =5kg
Generally the momentum of the astronaut A and bag is mathematically given as
Generally to avoid collision the speed of astronaut be should be less than or equal to that of astronaut A with the bag
Therefore for minimum requirement speed of astronaut A should be given by astronaut B's speed which is equal to 1

Explanation:
- Newton's first law of motion:
"An object at rest (or in uniform motion) remains at rest (or in uniform motion) unless acted upon an unbalanced force
In this situation, we can apply Newton's first law to the keys of the keyboard that are not hit by the fingers of the man. In fact, as no force act on the keys, they remain at rest.
- Newton's second law of motion:
"The acceleration experienced by an object is proportional to the net force exerted on the object; mathematically:
where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a its acceleration"
In this case, we can apply Newton's second law to the keys of the keyboard that are hit by the man: in fact, as they are hit, they experience a downward force, and therefore they experience a downward acceleration.
"Newton's third law of motion:
"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"
Here We can apply Newton's third law to the pair of objects finger-key: in fact, as the finger apply a force on the key (action force), then the key exerts a force back on the finger (reaction force), equal and opposite.
