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.

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Temperature of the water is measured in degrees Centigrade. Amount
mixas84 [53]

Yes heating water allows it to dissolve more Sugars because the molecular distance increases and this distance can be covered by more sugar. In the given question, The independent variable would be the temperature of water.

Since to whatever temperature the water boils at the boiling temperature of  does not change remains hundred degree. Rest all the variables can vary the weight of the amount of sugar with the variable in the temperature of Boiling of water to remain constant.

Suppose you were examining a pulsing radio signal from a stellar remnant in a distant part of the Milky Way. Knowing that ionizi
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

- Time delta is associated with difference in wavelengths

Explanation:

When pulsating radio waves consisting of different wavelengths pass through the ionized gas in interstellar space, the fast oscillating radio waves travel relatively faster than the slowly oscillating radio waves. As a result radio waves get dispersed and there is a time difference between the radio waves with different wavelength when the pulses arrive.

A 70 kg student now sits in the chair and the same 35 N force is applied to the chair. What is the chair's new acceleration?
amid [387]

Answer:

0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Force applied to the chair, m = mass of the student, a = acceleration of the chair

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 35 N, m = 70 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 35/70

a = 0.5 m/s²

Hence the new acceleration of the chair is 0.5 m/s²

How long was a 50 W lightbulb left on for if 500,002 J were burned?
saveliy_v [14]

" 50 W " means " 50 Watts "  or  " 50 Joules per second ".

(500,002 J) / (50 J/sec)  =  <em>10,000.04 seconds</em>

(That's 2 hours 46 minutes 40.04 seconds.)
