Answer:
Explanation:
This is a recoil problem, which is just another application of the Law of Momentum Conservation. The equation for us is:
which, in words, is
The momentum of the astronaut plus the momentum of the piece of equipment before the equipment is thrown has to be equal to the momentum of all that same stuff after the equipment is thrown. Filling in:
Obviously, on the left side of the equation, nothing is moving so the whole left side equals 0. Doing the math on the right and paying specific attention to the sig fig's here (notice, I added a 0 after the 4 in the velocity value so our sig fig's are 2 instead of just 1. 1 is useless in most applications).
0 = 90.0v - 2.0 and
2.0 = 90.0v so
v = .022 m/s This is the rate at which he is moving TOWARDS the ship (negative was moving away from the ship, as indicated by the - in the problem). Now we can use the d = rt equation to find out how long this process will take him if he wants to reach his ship before he dies.
12 = .022t and
t = 550 seconds, which is the same thing as 9.2 minutes
Answer:
Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 100 grams
Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g°C.
Temperature = 5°C
To find the quantity of heat required;
Heat capacity is given by the formula;
Where;
Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
m represents the mass of an object.
c represents the specific heat capacity of water.
t represents the temperature of an object.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.
