An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get
1 answer:
In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.
The equation that defines the linear moment is given by
where,
m=Total mass
Mass of Object
Velocity before throwing
Final Velocity
Velocity of Object
Our values are:
Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have
We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.
That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:
A)
B)
C)
Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s

A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:
System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1
We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if
where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:
<h3>PROOF:</h3>rotational inertia for cylinders is given as:
-----(1)
Newton's second law for angular motion is:
∑τ = Iα ------(2)
For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:
∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)
By definition of torque:
τ = RF --------(4)
Put (4) and (1) in (2)
from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate
So above equation becomes
------ (5)
As angular acceleration is related to linear by:
Eq (5) becomes
---- (6)
aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction
From (3)
∑Fₓ = Maₓ
Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:
----(7)
Put (7) in (3)
[/tex] -----(8)
Using (6) in (8)
--- (9)
For spring mass system
----- (10)
Equating (9) and (10)
then (9) becomes
(The minus sign says that x and aₓ have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)
This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.
<h3 /><h3>B) Time Period</h3>Time period is related to angular frequency as:
Answer:
A. 0.199 J
B. 0.0663 C
C = 0.0221 F
D. 12.68 ohms
Explanation:
From the question:
time duration, t = 0.28 seconds
Average power, P = 0.71 W
Average voltage, V = 3 V
A) Energy is given as:
E = P * t
=> E = 0.71 * 0.28 = 0.199 J
B) Electrical energy is also given as:
E = qV
where q = charge
=> q = E / V
∴ q = 0.199 / 3 = 0.0663 C
C) Capacitance is given as charge over voltage:
C = q / V
=> C = 0.0663 / 3 = 0.0221 F
D) Electrical power, P, can also be given as:
P =
where R = resistance
=> R =
R =
