Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.
Explanation:
According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>
To understand it better:
Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.
So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.
Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.
Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.
What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.
(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________
Regarding the other choices:
-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.
-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature.
Therefore; P1V1 =P2V2; where PV is a constant
hence; 12 × 6 = 3× p2
p2 = 72/3
= 24 atm
Therefore; the new pressure will be 24 atm
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.
Explanation:
Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.
Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.
Cheers!
Answer:
The answer would be B) The Same
Explanation:
Not gonna lie I checked my class notes but I figured this would help :)
Good luck!!!
