An astronaut with mass 84kg is at rest in space, before firing her water pack to move toward the shuttle. If the amount of water

shot out is

Answer:

The astronaut is moving at a speed of 0.238 m/s in a direction opposite the direction of the water shot out.

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of astronaut; m1 = 84 kg

Mass of water shoot out; m2 = 2 kg

Initial speed of astronaut; u1 = 0 m/s

Initial speed of water shoot out; u2 = 0 m/s

Final speed of shoot out; v2 = 10 m/s

From law of conservation of momentum, we can say that;

Initial momentum = final momentum

Thus;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = m1•v1 + m2•v2

Where v1 is the final speed of the astronaut

Plugging in the relevant values, we get;

(84 × 0) + (2 × 0) = (84 × v1) + (2 × 10)

0 = 84v1 + 20

-20 = 84v1

v1 = -20/84

v1 = -0.238 m/s

The negative sign indicates that the astronaut is moving 0.238 m/s in a direction opposite the direction of the water shot out.

The question is: A tuning fork vibrates at 140 [Hz] and the wave emitted by it propagates with a speed of 340 m / s. Considering the above, it can be correctly stated that the wavelength of the wave emitted by the tuning fork is

Answer: Wavelength of the wave emitted by the tuning fork is 2.43 m.

Explanation:

Given: Frequency = 140 Hz

Speed = 340 m/s

wavelength = ?

Formula used to calculate the wavelength is as follows.

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

where,

\lambda = wavelength

v = speed

f = frequency

Substitute the values into above formula.

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\\= \frac{340 m/s}{140 Hz}  (1 Hz = 1 s^{-1})\\= 2.43 m

Thus, we can conclude that wavelength of the wave emitted by the tuning fork is 2.43 m.

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = (1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = 2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ

Average power is given as:

P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W
