An astronaut on a space walk floats a little too far away

Physics

SSSSS [86.1K]1 year ago

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

A cricket player catches the ball leaning towards to the ground,why?​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As it’s difficult to catch it from up.

Gravitational force will pull us when we jump.

If gravity was not there, he could catch the ball. But he will float in the sky after that.

That’s the answer

A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz

A mass of 0.4 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.76 m and whose unstretched length is 0.41 m. Next the
Blizzard [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 1.256 m

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

We can start by finding the spring constant  

F = k*y  

Therefore;  k = F/y = m*g/y

                               = 0.40kg*9.8m/s^2/(0.76 - 0.41)

                               = 11.2 N/m  

Energy is conserved  

Let A be the maximum displacement  

Therefore;  1/2*k*A^2 = 1/2*k*(1.20 - 0.41)^2 + 1/2*m*v^2  

Thus;  A = sqrt((1.20 - 0.55)^2 + m/k*v^2)

               = sqrt((1.20 -0.55)^2 + 0.40/9.8*1.6^2)

                = 0.846 m  

Thus; the length will be 0.41 + 0.846  = 1.256 m
