Answer:

L = 2.8 cm

Explanation:

Period T = 4 / 12 = 1/3 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = (T/2π)²g

L = ((1/3)/2π)²9.8 = 0.02758... ≈ 2.8 cm

An astronaut working with many tools some distance away from a spacecraft is stranded when the "maneuvering unit" malfunctions.

N76 [4]

Answer:

He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.

An astronaut is standing on the surface of a planetary satellite that has a radius of 1.74 × 10^6 m and a mass of 7.35 × 10^22 k

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

2.87 km/s

Explanation:

radius of planet, R = 1.74 x 10^6 m

Mass of planet, M = 7.35 x 10^22 kg

height, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m

G = 6.67 x 106-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Use teh formula for acceleration due to gravity

$g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}$

$g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{1.74^{2}\times 10^{12}}$

g = 1.62 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = ?, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m , final velocity, v = 0

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh$

0 = v² - 2 x 1.62 x 2.55 x 10^6

v² = 8262000

v = 2874.37 m/s

v = 2.87 km/s

Thus, the initial speed should be 2.87 km/s.

Determine which law is appropriate for solving the following problem.

Nostrana [21]

Charles Law

Explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the original volume of the gas is 250 ml at 300 K temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. We need to find the volume of the same gas when the temperature is 350 K and 1 atmosphere pressure.

Step 2:

We observe that the gas pressure is the same in both the cases while the temperature is different. So we need a law that explains the volume change of a gas when temperature is changed, without any change to the pressure.

Step 3:

Charles law provides the relationship between the gas volume and temperature, at a given pressure

Step 4:

Hence we conclude that Charles law can be used.
