Two astronauts push on a satellite. One pushes in the positive x direction with a force of 42 N, and the other pushes in the pos

itive y direction. If the net force is at an angle of 15° above the positive x axis, what is the magnitude of the second astronaut's force?

The vectors adition we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is  11.25 N in the y direction

 

Parameters given

  • Force of an astronaut Fₓ = 42 N
  • Angle θ = 15º

To find

  • Force another astronaut

The force is a vector magnitude for which the addition of vectors must be used, a very efficient method to perform this sum is to add the components of each vector and devise constructing the resulting vector using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's use trigonometry to find the other force

            tan θ = \frac{F_y}{F_x}

            F_ y = Fₓ tan θ

let's calculate

            F_y = 42 tan 15

            F_y = 11.25 N

Using the summation of vectors we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is 11.25 N in the y direction

. A newly discovered planet has three times the mass and five times the radius of Earth. What is the ratio of the acceleration d
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12

Students are experimenting with circuits in their physics class and they build the two working circuits pictured below. The batt
bija089 [108]

The complete observation about adding bulb 3 is the brightness of the bulbs has to do with power which considers both the voltage and the current: less voltage x less current = dimmer bulbs.  In circuit A, the voltage is divided across the resistors and the current decreases as resistance increases.  In circuit B, the voltage is the same in each parallel section of the circuit and the current through that section of the circuit only depends on the resistor in that section.

<h3>What is power of the circuit?</h3>

The power of the bulb or any resistor is equal to the product of voltage and  current flowing through it.

P = VI

Circuit A has bulbs in series while the circuit B has bulbs in parallel.

When bulb 3 added to circuit A,  the brightness of all the bulbs dimmed but when bulb 3 (R3) added to circuit B, nothing changed in the brightness of the bulb.

The brightness is depended on the power of the circuit. When both the voltage and current are less, the bulb will be dimmed. In circuit A, series resistors divide the voltage across them. In circuit B, voltage is equal for all the resistors.

Thus, the last option is correct.

Suppose the electrostatic force between two electrons is F. What is the electrostatic force between an electron and a proton
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

D. −F

Explanation:

the rest of the answers are

2/3F

The force is represented as a positive quantity and is repulsive.

Electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

The direction of the force changes, and the magnitude of the force quadruples.

hope this helps sorry if i was too late! :)
