Two astronauts of identical mass are connected by a taut cable of negligible mass, as shown in the figure above, and are initial

ly at rest with respect to a nearby space station. Astronaut Y pulls on the cable toward herself with considerable force. Which of the following describes the direction of the velocity of the center of mass of the two astronauts after Astronaut Y pulls on the cable?

Answer:

The right answer is "The center of mass doesn't move".

Explanation:

  • It generates a voltage throughout the cable while the astronaut falls on either the wire. At other ends of the spectrum or cable, the tension will be similar. As such, with both astronauts, there would be the same energy, although throughout the opposite way.
  • Thus, the net force seems to be essentially negative on the machine. And therefore the mass center stays stationary.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

To better understand this problem, a cylinder sketch is attached before and after the cut, we see that after the cut, the shape of this resembles that of a right triangle.

We can find, the centroid in the xy plane, knowing that the centroid for a triangle is located a third of its base.

In the z axis there is no displacement of the centroid.

<h2>Apartment Explosion Reported </h2>

The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. The heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat is provided then temperature increases and the molecules of substances move rapidly by increase of kinetic energy (K.E) temperature increases. It is understood that heat increases temperature.

A cyclist moving with a constant velocity of 6.0 m/s forward passes a car that is just starting. If the car has a constant accel
sergiy2304 [10]

After 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cyclist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The speed of the cyclist = 6 m/s.

Let after time t sec, the car will overtake the cyclist.

So, distance covered by the cyclist in t sec = 6t m

Initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s, because the car is just starting.

Acceleration of the car =2 m/s^2.

Final velocity of the car =6 m/s.

So to cover the distance 6t, the time required by the car = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times t^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2

6t = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2\\6t = t^2

t =6 sec

So, after 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cycle.

A wire of 1mm diameter and 1m long fixed at one end is stretched by 0.01mm when a lend of 10 kg is attached to its free end.calc
Otrada [13]

Answer:

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as:

E = stress / strain

E = (F / A) / (dL / L)

E = (F L) / (A dL)

Given:

F = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N

L = 1 m

dL = 10⁻⁵ m

A = π/4 (0.001 m)² = 7.85×10⁻⁷ m²

Solve:

E = (98 N × 1 m) / (7.85×10⁻⁷ m² × 10⁻⁵ m)

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Round as needed.

A 3.00-kg model airplane has velocity components of 5.00 m/s due east and 8.00 m/s due north. What is the plane’s kinetic energy
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Kinetic energy, E = 133.38 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the model airplane, m = 3 kg

Velocity component, v₁ = 5 m/s (due east)

Velocity component, v₂ = 8 m/s (due north)

Let v is the resultant of velocity. It is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_1^2+v_2^2}

v=\sqrt{5^2+8^2}=9.43\ m/s

Let E is the kinetic energy of the plane. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (9.43\ m/s)^2

E = 133.38 Joules

So, the kinetic energy of the plane is 133.38 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
