Answer:

The astronaut will be propelled towards the shuttle at the rate of 0.4 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of  the astronaut, m₁ = 95 kg

mass of the hammer thrown, m₂ = 2 kg

velocity of the hammer, v₂ = 19 m/s

let the recoil velocity of the shuttle = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

v₁ = m₂v₂/m₁

v₁ = (2 x 19) / 95

v₁ = 0.4 m/s

Therefore, the astronaut will be propelled towards the shuttle at the rate of 0.4 m/s.

What is the rock cycle and how does it change the lithosphere?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.

Plate movements drive the rock cycle by pushing rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magna again. Plate movements also cause the folding, faulting and uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

0.301 m

Explanation:

Torque = Force × Radius

τ = Fr

40.0 Nm = 133 N × r

r = 0.301 m

The mechanic must apply the force 0.301 m from the nut.

Alika [10]

Answer:

265 J

Explanation:

Energy=PE+KE=mgh+ 0.5mv^{2} where KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, m is the mass of an object, v is the speed, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting 19.7 Kg for mass, 0.934 for h, 2.93 for v and 9.81 for g then

Energy=19.7(9.81*0.934+0.5*2.93^{2})=265.063303\approx 265 J
