URGENT!! An astronaut on the International Space Station is doing a spacewalk to fix a solar panel that has malfunctioned. While

he is completing his task, a piece of space junk flies past and cuts the line that has him tethered to the space station. He begins to float away and must think quickly in order to get himself back to safety. All the astronaut has with him on his suit are some small tools and a can of compressed air.
What would be the most effective way for the astronaut to get himself back to safety?
A. use a swimming motion to move himself back to the space station
b. toss his tools in the direction of the space station
c. shoot gas from his compressed air canister towards the space station
d. shoot gas from his compressed air canister away from the space station

Answer:

D. Shoot gas from his compressed air canister away from the space station

Explanation:

Isacc Newton's 3rd law states "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

Convert as indicated step by step 1)1 sec into day 2) 1 week into sec (3) 50cm into meter​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

1) 1,157*10⁻⁵ day; 2) 604800 sec.; 3) 0.5 m.

Explanation:

1) 1 second into one day:

one day consists of 24 hours, it means 24*3600=86400 seconds. Then 1 second is 1/86400 day or 1,157*10⁻⁵ day.

2) 1 week into seconds:

1 day consists of 3600*24=86400 seconds, then the week is 7*86400=604800 seconds.

3) 50 cm into meter:

100 cm is one meter, then 50 cm is 0.5 meter.

PS. note, there is not the only way to perform conversion.

A person pulls a crate of mass M = 63 kg a distance 40.0 m along a horizontal floor by a constant force FP = 130 N, which acts a
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Check attachment for solution and diagrams

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of crate m=63kg

Distance travelled d=40m

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Angle the force applied on cord makes with horizontal is θ=23°.

The weight of the crate is given by

W=mg

W=63×9.81

W=618.03N

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Resolving the applied Force F to the horizontal will give

Fx=FCos θ

F=Fx/Cos θ

F=130/Cos23

F=141.2N

a. Check attachment for model diagram

b. Check attachment for free body diagram

c. Check attachment for pictorial representation

d. Work done by gravitational force.

We, know that the body did not move upward, then the distance d=0

Work done is given as

W=F×d

So, d=0

W=F×0

W=0J

So, no work is done by gravity

e. Normal force?

Using newton law of motion

ΣFy = may

Since the body is not moving upward, then ay=0m/s²

N+141.2Sin23-618.03=0

N=618.03-141.2Sin23

N=562.86N

f. Work done by normal force.

The body is not moving upward, then the distance is zero

d=0

Work done by normal=normal force × distance

Wn=562.86×0

Wn=0J

No work is done by the normal force

g. Frictional force?

Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is zero, then the surface is frictionless

So, no frictional force is acting on the body

Fictional force is given as

Fr=μk•N

Given that, μk=0

Fr=0×562.86

Fr=0N

d. Work done by frictional force?

Since the frictional force Is zero, then, no work is done by friction

W(friction ) = frictional force × d

Here, the body moved a distance of 40m

W(fr)=0×40

W(fr)=0J

No work is done by friction

I. Work done by exerted force

The horizontal component of the exerted force is 130N and the body traveled a distance of 40m

Then, work done is given as

Workdone=force ×distance

Work done=130×40

W=5200J

W=5.2KJ

h. Net workdone?

Since no work is lost by friction, then, the net work done is equal to the work done by the exerted force.

Went, = work done by force exerted - work done by friction

Wnet=5200-0

Wnet, =5200

Wnet=5.2KJ

Ah electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of \rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2} ".

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electric field due to a static point charge q at a point r distance away from it is given by

\rm E = \dfrac{k|q|}{r^2}.

  • k is the Coulmob's constant.

The direction of the electric field along the line joining the charge and the point where electric field is to be found and it is directed from positive charge to negative charge.

Conventionally, we assume a positive test charge placed at the point where electric field is to be found, the test charge has very small charge such that its charge does not affect the electric field due to the given charge.

The charge on the electron = -e.

The electric field due to an electron is given by

\rm E = \dfrac{k|-e|}{r^2}=\dfrac{ke}{r^2}.

The direction of this electric field is from positive test charge, placed at the point where electric field is to be found, towards the electron along the line joining the two.

Thus, the correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of \rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2} ".
