Astronaut X of mass 50kg floats next to Astronaut Y of mass 100kg while in space, as shown in the figure. The positive direction

is shown. Astronaut X applies a force against Astronaut Y such that the kinetic energy of each astronaut as a function of time is shown in the graph. What is the change in momentum of the two-astronaut system and the change in momentum of each astronaut from immediately before the force was applied to immediately after the force was applied?

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.

15) What is the frequency of a pendulum that is moving at 30 m/s with a wavelength of .35 m?
____ [38]

A pendulum is not a wave.

-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.

-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.

--  Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.

-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.


If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:

             Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

             Frequency  =  (speed) / (wavelength) ,

you would end up with

             Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz

Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ?     That's pretty absurd. 

This math is not applicable to the pendulum.

HELP ME PLEASE! according ohm's law if the resistance remains constant what would happen if you decrease the amount of voltage b
SpyIntel [72]
B.
technically it would depend if the resistors were in series or parallel but B is the answer.

For conservation of energy we have to:
 mgH=mv²/2 
 Clearing
<span> v=sqrt(2gH)
 Then, by definition 
</span><span> F=Δp/Δt= Δ(mv)/ Δt=m Δ(v)/Δt= 
</span> =m[sqrt(2gH)-0]/Δt= m[sqrt(2gH)]/ Δt
 the answer is
 F=m[sqrt(2gH)]/ Δt

How do air mass conditions ahead of the squall line support the development of new cell?
IRISSAK [1]
<span>Storm cells in a squall line typically move from the southwest to the northeast, and as the mature cells in the northeast begin to die off, new ones are formed at the opposite end to advance the line. The air in the southwest corner has strong vertical updrafts that allow new cells to grow and develop into thunderstorms.</span>
