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

Estimate how long a 2500 W electric kettle would take to boil away 1.5 Kg of water . The specific latent heat of vaporization of
andrew-mc [135]

The time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds

<h3>How to calculate the time</h3>

Use the formula:

Power × time = mass × specific heat

Given mass = 1. 5kg

Specific latent heat of vaporization = 4000000 J/ Kg

Power = 2500 W

Substitute the values into the formula

Power × time = mass × specific heat

2500 × time = 1. 5 × 4000000

Make 'time' the subject

time = 1. 5 × 4000000 ÷ 2500 = 6000000 ÷ 2500 = 2400 seconds

Therefore, the time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds.

un movil que parte del reposo alcanza una velocidad de 75 m/s en 13 segundos ¿cual su aceleracion y el espacio que recorrio en l
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Final velocity of mobile device = 75 m/s

initial velocity of mobile device = 0 m/s

Time taken = 13 seconds

Find:

Acceleration

Distance cover in 13 seconds

Computation:

v = u + at

75 = 0 + (a)(13)

13a = 75

a = 5.77

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (0)(t) + (1/2)(5.77)(13²)

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit
Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

v_0 = Initial velocity

y_0 = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

t = \frac{18.6}{34}

t = 0.547s

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2

y = 1.46m

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.

A sample of copper has a volume of 23.4 cm3 if the density of copper is 8.9 gcm3 what is the coppers mass?
murzikaleks [220]
The answer is:  " 208 g " .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
The formula/ equation for density is:
__________________________________________
D = m / V  ;  That is,  "mass divided by volume" ;
 
Density is expressed as:
__________________________________________    
                   "mass per unit volume";  in which the "mass" is expressed in units of "g" ("grams") ;  and the "unit volume" is expressed in units of:
    "cm³ " or "mL"; 
_____________________________________________
           {Note the exact equivalent:  1 cm³ = 1 mL }.
____________________________________________
         →  The formula is:  " D = m / V "  ; 
___________________________________________
   in which:

     "D" refers to the "density" (see above), which is: "8.9 g/cm³ " (given); 

     "m" refers to the "mass" , in units of "g" (grams), which is unknown; and we want to find this value;
                 
     "V" refers to the "volume", in units of "cm³ " ;
               which is:  "23.4 cm³ " (given);
_________________________________________________
                 We want to find the mass, "m" ; so we take the original equation/formula for the density:
_________________________________________________ 
              D  =  m / V ; 
_________________________________________________________
             And we rearrange; to isolate "m" (mass) on ONE side of the    equation; and then we plug in our known/given values;
 to solve for "m" (mass);  in units of "g" (grams) ;
___________________________________________________
    Multiply each side of the equation by "V" ; 
____________________________________________________
             V * { D  =  m / V } ;  to get:
____________________________________________________
      V * D = m ;   ↔   m = V * D ;
___________________________________________________
           Now, we plug in the given values for "V" (volume) and "D" (density) ;     to solve for the mass, "m" ;
______________________________________________________
           m  =  V * D ;
 
           m  =  (23.4 cm³) * (8.9 g / 1 cm³)  = (23.4 * 8.9) g = 208.26 g ;
  
 →  Round to "208 g" (3 significant figures);  
____________________________________
The answer is:  " 208 g " .
