Answer:

v_2=8.85\times 10^{-4}\ m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a wrench, m₁ = 4 g = 0.004 kg

Speed of wrench, v₁ = -15 m/s

Mass of the Astronaut, m₂ = 70 kg

It is required to find Astronaut's velocity. Let it is v₂. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it.

m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\\=\dfrac{0.004\times (-15)}{70}\\\\=-8.85\times 10^{-4}\ m/s

So, his velocity is 8.85\times 10^{-4}\ m/s.

A bullet traveling at 350 m/s hits a tree, penetrating 0.125 m into the tree before stopping. The mass of the bullet is 0.200 kg
Sloan [31]

Answer:

-4.9\cdot 10^5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of the bullet is a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can find its acceleration by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the bullet in this problem:

u = 350 m/s is the initial velocity of the bullet

v = 0 is the final velocity (the bullet comes to a stop)

s = 0.125 m is the stopping distance of the bullet

Therefore, by solving the equation for a, we find its acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0^2-350^2}{2(0.125)}=-4.9\cdot 10^5 m/s^2

And the negative sign tells that the direction of the acceleration is opposite to that of the velocity.

Write 4-5 sentences about what the early scientists from Aristotle to Galileo thought about the nature of motion. So far I have
nika2105 [10]
<span>Aristotle would say that an object comes to rest because it got tired. Aristotle came up with ideas, but never tested them. Galileo used experiments and mathematical models to analyze motion. He used a slanted inclined plane an order to slow down the acceleration due to gravity on an object. He found out that an object accelerates as it falls. </span>

Explain how fossil fuels are turned into useful forms of energy ?
jekas [21]
Fossil fuels like coal for instance , when they are provided with heat energy (heating them) they start producing Kinetic energy . This kinetic energy will be passed along a turbine which transforms this K.E to an electrical energy used in different useful forms.
