Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

ains or losses to adjust diets. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 43.5 N is exerted and the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.888 m/s^2.
(a) Calculate her mass in kilograms.
(b) By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which they orbit experiences an equal and opposite force. Discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut’s acceleration. Propose a method in which recoil of the vehicle is avoided.

Power plants can be powered by fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or nuclear power to produce steam to turn turbines to
Naddika [18.5K]
<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>

The driver of a 1750 kg car traveling on a horizontal road at 110 km/h suddenly applies the brakes. Due to a slippery pavement,
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: a=-2.4525 m/s^2

d=s=190.3 m

Explanation:The only force that is stopping the car and causing deceleration is the frictional force Fr

Fr = 25% of weight

W=mg

W=1750*9.81

W=17167.5

Hence

Fr=\frac{25}{100} * -17167.5\\\\Fr=-4291.875 N

Frictional force is negative as it acts in opposite direction

According to newton second law of motion

F=ma

hence

a=Fr/m

a=-4291.875/1750\\a=-2.4525

given

u= 110 km/h

u=110*1000/3600

u=30.55 m/s

to get t we know that final velocity v=0

v^2=u^2+2as\\0=30.55^2-2*2.4525*s\\s=190.34m

A cube of ice at an initial temperature of -15.00°C weighing 12.5 g total is placed in 85.0 g of water at an initial temperature
Leona [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of ice is 2.11 J/g°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When ice is mixed with water, the amount of heat released by water will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by ice.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]       ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of ice = 12.5 g

m_2 = mass of water = 85.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 22.24°C

T_1 = initial temperature of ice = -15.00°C

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.00°C

c_1 = specific heat of ice = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

12.5\times c_1\times (22.24-(-15))=-[85.0\times 4.186\times (22.24-25)]

c_1=2.11J/g^oC

Hence, the specific heat of ice is 2.11 J/g°C

The torque exerted by a crowbar on an object increases with increased _______.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

force and leverage distance

Explanation:

the formula for torque if = force x distance

(the distance above is the leverage distance on the crow bar)

therefore if there is an increase in either the torque or the leverage distance, or both, the torque exerted by the crow bar also increases.

for example

  • lets assume a force of 5 n is applied on the crow bar with a leverage distance of 2 m.

        the torque = 5 x 2 = 10 N.m

  • but if the force was increased to 7 N

        torque = 7 x 2 = 12 N.m

from the illustration above, we can see that the torque increased with an increase in force. There would also be an increase in torque if the distance were to be increased.
