Answer:

v₃ = 9.62[m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problem we must use the principle of conservation of linear momentum, which tells us that the momentum is equal to the product of mass by velocity.

We must analyze the moment when the astronaut launches the toolkit, the before and after. In order to return to the ship, the astronaut must launch the toolkit in the opposite direction to the movement.

Let's take the leftward movement as negative, which is when the astronaut moves away from the ship, and rightward as positive, which is when he approaches the ship.

In this way, we can construct the following equation.

-(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{1}=(m_{1}*v_{2})-(m_{2}*v_{3})

where:

m₁ = mass of the astronaut = 157 [kg]

m₂ = mass of the toolkit = 5 [kg]

v₁ = velocity combined of the astronaut and the toolkit before throwing the toolkit = 0.2 [m/s]

v₂ = velocity for returning back to the ship after throwing the toolkit [m/s]

v₃ = velocity at which the toolkit should be thrown [m/s]

Now replacing:

-(157+5)*0.2=(157*0.1)-(5*v_{3})\\(5*v_{3})= 15.7+32.4\\v_{3}=9.62[m/s]

The pressure on a volume of liquid V = 1.0 mº at the surface is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure Patm = 1.00 x 10
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:-2.86*10⁻⁴

Explanation: Use the equation change in volume = (change in pressure * original volume) / Bulks Modulus. ΔV = (-Δp*V₀) / B

Plugging in your numbers, you should get ΔV = (-2.29*10⁷*1) / (8*10¹⁰) = -2.86*10⁻⁴

ΔP = P₂-P₁  ----> ΔP = 2.30*10⁷ - 1.00*10⁵ = 2.29*10⁷

What makes a substance, such as<br> aluminum, a good conductor?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

For a material to be a good conductor, the electricity passed through it must be able to move the electrons; the more free electrons in a metal, the greater its conductivity.

Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.
