Three astronauts guide a 100 kg asteroid safely away from their space capsule. The first astronaut pushes with a 35 N force dire

cted 45 degrees below the x-axis. The second astronaut pushes with a 35 N force directed 45 degrees above the -axis. The third astronaut pushes with a 35 N force along the x-axis. Calculate the magnitude of the net force exerted by the three astronauts. Calculate the rate (magnitude only) at which the asteroid's velocity changes.

The magnitude of the net force exerted by the three astronauts is 84.5 N and the rate at which the asteroid's velocity changes is 0.845 m/s².

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the asteroid = 100 kg</em>
  • <em>force by first astronaut = 35 N, at 45 degrees below x -axis</em>
  • <em>force by second astronaut = 35 N, at 45 degrees above x-axis</em>
  • <em>force by third  astronaut = 35 N, at 0 degrees on x-axis</em>

The resultant horizontal force applied by the three astronauts on the asteroid is calculated as;

Fₓ = 35cos(45) + 35cos(45) + 35cos(0)

Fₓ = 84.5 N

The rate at which the asteroid's velocity changes is calculated as;

F = ma = m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}  = \frac{F}{m} \\\\\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}  = \frac{84.5}{100} \\\\\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}  = 0.845 \ m/s^2

Thus, the magnitude of the net force exerted by the three astronauts is 84.5 N and the rate at which the asteroid's velocity changes is 0.845 m/s².

Which particles contribute to the net charge and how does each change the net charge?
Licemer1 [7]

The two subatomic particles that contribute to the net charge of an ion are electrons and protons.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

Atom is the smallest possible amount of matter which still retains its identity as a chemical element, now known to consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons.

The atom is made up of three components called subatomic particles as follows;

  • Protons
  • Electrons
  • Neutrons

The proton is the positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atomwhile the electron is the subatomic particle having a negative charge and orbiting the nucleus.

This suggests that the two subatomic particles that contribute to the net charge of an ion are electrons and protons. That is;

Net charge = protons - electrons

A wheel, starting from rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 1.80 rad/s^2. During a certain 7.00 s interval, it
lora16 [44]

Answer:

a) 1.3 rad/s

b) 0.722 s

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity, ω = 0 rad/s

Angular acceleration of the wheel, α = 1.8 rad/s²

using equations of angular motion, we have

θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²

where

θ2 - θ1 = 53.2 rad

t2 - t1 = 7s

substituting these in the equation, we have

θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²

53.2 =ω(0) * 7 + 1/2 * 1.8 * 7²

53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 1/2 * 1.8 * 49

53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 44.1

7.ω(0) = 53.2 - 44.1

ω(0) = 9.1 / 7

ω(0) = 1.3 rad/s

Using another of the equations of angular motion, we have

ω(0) = ω(i) + α*t1

1.3 = 0 + 1.8 * t1

1.3 = 1.8 * t1

t1 = 1.3/1.8

t1 = 0.722 s
