Concept Simulation 7.1illustrates the physics principles in this problem. An astronaut in his space suit and with a propulsion u

nit (empty of its gas propellant) strapped to his back has a mass of 146 kg. The astronaut begins a space walk at rest, with a completely filled propulsion unit. During the space walk, the unit ejects some gas with a velocity of 28 m/s. As a result, the astronaut recoils with a velocity of -0.39 m/s. After the gas is ejected, the mass of the astronaut (now wearing a partially empty propulsion unit) is 165 kg. What percentage of the gas propellant was ejected from the completely filled propulsion unit

Answer:  % = 10.789%

Explanation:

I will give a step by step analysis to make this problem easy to solve.

from our knowledge in conservation of momentum, we know that;

Momentum before impact = Momentum after impact

i.e.

28(m) + 165(-0.39) = 0

where M = - (165*-0.39) / 28

M = 2.298 Kg

from this we have that the initial mass of the gas in the Propulsion is given thus;

 = (165 - 146) + 2.298 = 21.298

initial mass = 21.298 Kg

% of gas propellant  ejected is given thus = expelled gas / original gas =

% = (2.298 / 21.298) * 100 = 10.789 %

% = 10.789%

cheers i hope this helps!!!!

When using the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a charge, which part of the hand points in the direction that the charge is moving? The answer is <span>thumb.

</span>One way to remember this is that there is one velocity, represented accordingly by the thumb. There are many field lines, represented accordingly by the fingers. The force is in the direction you would push with your palm. The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge. Because the force is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, a pure magnetic field will not accelerate a charged particle in a single direction, however will produce circular or helical motion (a concept explored in more detail in future sections). It is important to note that magnetic field will not exert a force on a static electric charge. These two observations are in keeping with the rule that <span>magnetic fields do no </span>work<span>.</span>

Natasha2012 [34]
The value of the swimmer's power output is calculated by dividing the work done by the time it took for the work to be completed. From the given in this item,
                              P = 3560 J/ 55 s = 64.73 W
Rounding off to two significant figures will give us 65 W.

Answer:

w = √ 1 / CL

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

Explanation:

This problem refers to electrical circuits, the circuits where this phenomenon occurs are series RLC circuits, where the resistor, the capacitor and the inductance are placed in series.

In these circuits the impedance is

             X = √ (R² +  (X_{C} -X_{L})² )

where Xc and XL is the capacitive and inductive impedance, respectively

            X_{C} = 1 / wC

           X_{L} = wL

From this expression we can see that for the resonance frequency

           X_{C} = X_{L}

the impedance of the circuit is minimal, therefore the current and voltage are maximum and an increase in signal intensity is observed.

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

               V = IR

Since the contribution of the two other components is canceled, this occurs for

                X_{C} = X_{L}

                1 / wC = w L

                w = √ 1 / CL

Suppose you want to make a scale model of a hydrogen atom. You choose, for the nucleus, a small ball bearing with a radius of 1.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A)  x _electron = 0.66 10² m , B)   x _Eart = 1.13 10² m , C)  d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

Explanation:

A) Let's use a ball for the nucleus, the electron is at a farther distance the sphere for the electron must be at a distance of

Let's use proportions rule

                x_ electron = 0.529 10⁻¹⁰ /1.2 10⁻¹⁵ 1.5

               x _electron = 0.66 10⁵ mm = 0.66 10² m

B) the radii of the Earth and the sun are

               R_{E} = 6.37 10⁶ m

                tex]R_{Sum}[/tex] = 6.96 10⁸ m

                Distance = 1.5 10¹¹ m

                x_Earth = 1.5 10¹¹ / 6.96 10⁸  1.5

                x _Eart = 1.13 10² m

C) The radius of a sphere that represents the earth, if the sphere that represents the sun is 1.5 mm, let's use another rule of proportions

            d_sphere = 1.5 / 6.96 10⁸  6.37 10⁶

            d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm
