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.

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.
