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.

A driver in a car speeding to the right at 24m/s suddenly hits the brakes and goes into a skid, finally coming to rest. The coef
irina [24]

Answer:

42 m

Explanation:

v_{o} = initial velocity of the car = 24 m/s

v_{f} = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.7

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

a = acceleration due to kinetic frictional force  = - μg = - (0.7)(9.8) = - 6.86 m/s²

d = distance through which the car skids

Using the kinematics equation

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 a d

Inserting the values

0^{2} = 24^{2} + 2 (- 6.86) d

d = 42 m

A high-temperature gas is compared to the same gas at lower temperature. Which of the following statements is true?
ycow [4]

Answer:

I think it is C

Explanation:

If the temperature of a gas increases, the gas particles have a higher average speed as they gain kinetic energy. They collide more frequently with the walls of the container, which produces a bigger pressure.

The horizontal bar rises at a constant rate of three hundred mm/s causing peg P to ride in the quarter circular slot. When coord
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal bar rises with 300 mm/s

Let us take the horizontal component of P be

P_x=rcos\theta

P_y=rsin\theta

where \thetais angle made by horizontal bar with x axis

Velocity at y=150 mm

150=300sin\theta

thus \theta =30^{\circ}

position ofP_x=rcos\theta =300\cdot cos30=300\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

P_x=259.80 mm

P=259.80\hat{i}+150\hat{j}

Velocity at this instant

u_x=-rsin\theta =300\times sin30=-150 mm/s

u_y=rcos\theta =300\times cos30=259.80 mm/s
