An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only

a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma=102 kgma=102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of mb=10.0 kg.mb=10.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at vi=2.10 m/svi=2.10 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed vb,fvb,f of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever?

Answer:

The answer is "2.352 \ \frac{m}{s}"

Explanation:

\to mass(m_1)=102 \ kg\\\\\to  mass(m_2)=10 \ kg \\\\\to v=2.10\ \frac{m}{s}\\\\

momentum before:

\to p=(m_1+m_2)v

       =(102+10)2.10\\\\=(102\times 2.10 +10 \times 2.10)\\\\=214.2+21\\\\=235.2

momentum After:

\to p=(m_1+m_2)v

       =(102\times 0 +10 \times v)\\\\ =(0 +10v)\\\\=10v\\

Calculating the conservation of momentum:

\to \text{momentum before = momentum After}

\to 235.2=10v\\\\\to v= \frac{235.2}{10}\\\\ \to v=2.352 \ \frac{m}{s}

Highlight two factors which show that heat from the sun does reach the earth surface by conversation
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

The sun heat the earth by the process called radiation.

Radiation is form of heat transfer method just like convection and conduction. Radiation heat transfer does not require medium to propagate, unlike its other two counterparts. There is no medium between earth and sun.

The radiation heat travels through space in form of waves. Like the electromagnetic wave with a specific speed and energy.

Car A is traveling west at 40 mi/h and car B is traveling north at 40 mi/h. Both are headed for the intersection of the two road
Gwar [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

    \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h,     \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h

The negative sign indicates that x and y are decreasing.

We have to find \frac{dz}{dt}. Equation for the given variables according to the Pythagoras theorem is as follows.

              z^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}

Now, we will differentiate each side w.r.t 't' as follows.

        2z\frac{dz}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

or,          \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

So, when x = 4 mi, and y = 3 mi then z = 5 mi.

As,       \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

                       = \frac{1}{5}(4 \times (-40) + 3 \times (-40))

                       = \frac{-140 - 120}{5}

                       = 52

Thus, we can conclude that the cars are approaching at a rate of 52 mi/h.

2 Why <br> Force is needed​
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The use of force in our everyday life is very common. We use force to walk on the road, to lift the objects, to throw a cricket ball, or to move a given body by some particular speed or direction. We are very familiar with the various effects of force. We can exert pull and push.
