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.

The speed of the wave depends on what?
kolbaska11 [484]

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

It's pretty well unanimous for choice <em>A</em> .

Is the strange solid/liquid changing behavior of Oobleck the SAME as an ice cube melting?
Dmitrij [34]
I don’t think so because an ice cube melting needs heat and relies on temp while ooblecks transition from solid to quickly depends on force and speed

Define the term antinode and explain how standing waves form.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

standing wave, also called stationary wave, combination of two waves moving in opposite directions, each having the same amplitude and frequency.

For oppositely moving waves, interference produces an oscillating wave fixed in space. fixed nodes in a standing wave. Location of fixed nodes in a standing wave

these are the points that undergo the maximum displacement during each vibrational cycle of the standing wave. In a sense, these points are the opposite of nodes, and so they are called antinodes. A standing wave pattern always consists of an alternating pattern of nodes and antinodes
