Two astronauts are playing catch in a zero gravitational field. Astronaut 1 of mass m1 is initially moving to the right with spe

ed v1 . Astronaut 2 of mass m2 is initially moving to the right with speed v2>v1 . Astronaut 1 throws a ball of mass m with speed u relative to herself in a direction opposite to her motion. Astronaut 2 catches the ball. The final speed of astronaut 1 is vf,1 and the final speed of astronaut 2 is vf,2 .What is the speed vf,1 of astronaut 1 after throwing the ball?

The final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.

The given parameters;

  • Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
  • Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
  • Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
  • Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
  • Mass of the ball, = m
  • Speed of the ball, = u
  • Final velocity of the first astronaut, = v_f_1
  • Final velocity of the second astronaut, = v_f_2

The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_2v_2_f + m_1v_1_f

if v₂ > v₁, then v_1_f > v_2_f, to conserve the linear momentum.

Thus, the final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.

A loop rests in the plane of a page of textbook while a magnetic field is directed into the page. A clockwise current is induced
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

When the magnetic field is tilted so it is no longer perpendicular to the page.

When the magnetic field gets stronger.

When the size of the loop decreases.

Explanation:

According to the Faraday-Lenz law, the change of the magnetic flux over time causes an induced current, this flux is given by:

\Phi_B=BScos\theta

Therefore, there will be a variable magnetic flux, when the magnitude of the magnetic field (B) changes over time, when the area of the loop (S) changes over time and / or when the angle (\theta) between the field and the surface vector changes over time.

A solenoid having N turns and carrying a current of 2.000 A has a length of 34 00 cm. If the magnitude of the magnetic field gen
umka21 [38]

Answer:

B) 1218

Explanation:

N = Total number of turns in the solenoid

L = length of the solenoid = 34.00 cm = 0.34 m

B = magnetic field at the center of the solenoid = 9 mT = 9 x 10⁻³ T

i = current carried by the solenoid = 2.000 A

Magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is given as

B = \frac{\mu _{o}N i}{L}

9\times 10^{-3} = \frac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7} )N (2)}{0.34}

N = 1218

What is 1.2 kg converted into mg.<br> I need to know for step by step please?
astra-53 [7]
Here’s a good photo to reference when converting in the metric system.

Each time you move down a step you move the decimal to the right, each time you move up a step you move the decimal to the left.

We are going from 1.2 kg or kilograms, which is at the very top left of the ladder. To get to mg or milligrams, we would have to make six jumps, so we’d move the decimal over six times.

1.2 > 12. > 120. > 1200. > 12000. > 120000. > 1200000.

So our final answer would be 1,200,000mg.
