An astronaut stands on the surface of an asteroid. The astronaut then jumps such that the astronaut is no longer in contact with
the surface. The astronaut falls back down to the surface after a short time interval. Which of the following forces CANNOT be neglected when analyzing the motion of the astronaut?

Answer:
(a) The total energy of the object at any point in its motion is 0.0416 J
(b) The amplitude of the motion is 0.0167 m
(c) The maximum speed attained by the object during its motion is 0.577 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the toy, m = 0.25 kg
force constant of the spring, k = 300 N/m
displacement of the toy, x = 0.012 m
speed of the toy, v = 0.4 m/s
(a) The total energy of the object at any point in its motion
E = ¹/₂mv² + ¹/₂kx²
E = ¹/₂ (0.25)(0.4)² + ¹/₂ (300)(0.012)²
E = 0.0416 J
(b) the amplitude of the motion
E = ¹/₂KA²
(c) the maximum speed attained by the object during its motion
Explanation:
Given that,
Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N
Time of contact is 0.12 s
We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :
So, the impulse is 42 N-m..
We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.
So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.
a) 120 s
b) v = 0.052R [m/s]
Explanation:
a)
The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).
The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.
To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.
The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.
Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.
Therefore, the period is
T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s
b)
The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.
The perimeter of the wheel is:
where R is the radius of the wheel.
The period of revolution is:
Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:
