The best way in handling in this situation is that in order for the astronaut to be able to get back to the shuttle is that he or she should take an object from his or her tool belt and to be thrown out away from the shuttle. This will allow her to weight lightly and safely return to the shuttle and would be easier for his or her to do so.

Concerning the work done by a conservative force, which of the following statements, if any, are true? It can always be expresse
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

Explanation:

In Physics we define a conservative force as a force that is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

For conservative forces we can write;

KEi + PEi = KEf +PEf

where;

KEi= initial kinetic energy

PEi= initial potential energy

KEf= final kinetic energy

PEf= final potential energy

This equation is known as the principle conservation of mechanical energy . It applies only to conservative forces where friction is negligible. The term KE + PE  is also known as the total mechanical energy of the system.

A student leaving school travels 100 m East before he realizes he left his textbook in his locker. He heads back towards school,
andrew11 [14]

-- The overall <em>distance</em> he travels is (100m + 30m + 70m) = <em>200 meters</em>.

-- His <em>displacement </em>when he arrives at his front door is

D = (100m East) + (30m West) + (70m East)

D = (100m + 70m)East + (30m)West

D = (170m East) + (30m West)

<em>D = 140 meters East </em>

It's interesting to notice that his displacement is 60 meters shorter than the distance he walked.  

That's because there's a stretch of 30 meters somewhere in the middle that he actually covered <em>three times</em>.

Two of those times added to the distance his shoes covered (2x30m=60m), but they cancelled out of the displacement.

His front door is 140 meters East of school.  He walked 60m farther than that, going back and forth over the 30m piece.
