We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:
where
is the change in internal energy of the system
is the heat absorbed by the system
is the work done by the system on the surrounding
In this problem, the work done by the system is
with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is
with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.
Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find
Answer:
He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.
Explanation:
By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.
Answer:
E) momentum and mechanical energy
Explanation:
In the context, an object is attached to the another mass with a spring which is initially at a rest position. Now when the spring is compressed, the two masses moves with the same speed. Now since the both the masses combines with the spring to move together they are considered as one system and in this case the momentum and the kinetic energy will be conserved.
The kinetic energy and momentum of the system after collision and the kinetic energy and momentum of the two masses before collision will be constant.
Given:
u(initial velocity)=0
a=5.54m/s^2
v(final velocity)=2 m/s
v=u +at
Where v is the final velocity.
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration.
t is the time
2=0+5.54t
t=2/5.54
t=0.36 sec
The force of gravity is the only force that keeps a pendulum in motion. both the force increases the speed of the pendulum on the downswing and decreases it's speed on its upswing.
