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:
1. 38,500
2. 308,000
Explanation:
This would require a calculator. To find momentum, you multiply mass and velocity. You always want your mass to be measure in kilograms, but that is irrelevant in this question because they already are, it is just something to remember.
Answer:
C = 1.01
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass, m = 75 kg
The terminal velocity of the mass, 
Area of cross section, 
We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,
R = W
or
Where
is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³
C is drag coefficient
So,
So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.
Answer:
Stars are at large distances that even light takes thousands of years to reach us from there.
for example, alpha centauri is 4300 light years away from earth and it is considered the nearest star to us, this means that light from there takes 4300 years to reach us and with a spaceships that can move with the speed of light is would take us 4300 years to get there which is imposible to live for that long.
hence, it is difficult to move between the stars.
