Two astronauts, A and B, both with mass of 60Kg, are moving along a straight line in the same direction in a weightless spaceshi

p. Relative to the spaceship the speed of A is 2 m/s and that of B is 1 m/s. A is carrying a bag of mass 5 Kg with him. To avoid collision with B A throws the bag with a speed v relative to the spaceship towards B catches it. Find the minimum value of v.

Answer:

V=14m/s

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that

Mass of A and B is 60kg

Speed of A=2m/s

Speed of B=1m/s

Mass of bag =5kg

Generally the momentum of the astronaut  A and bag is mathematically given as

  M_A=(60+5)*2

   M_A=130kgm/s

Generally to avoid collision the speed of astronaut be should be less than or equal to that of astronaut A with the bag

Therefore for minimum requirement speed of astronaut A should be given by astronaut B's speed which is equal to 1

Therefore

  130=(60*1)=(5*v)

   V=14m/s

From Kepler's third law, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years lies at an average distance from the Sun equal to:
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Explanation:

The Kepler's third law of motion gives the relationship between the orbital time period and the distance from the semi major axis such that,

T^2\propto a^3\\\\T^2=ka^3

It is mentioned that, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years. So,

(8)^2=ka^3\\\\64=ka^3\\\\a=(64)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\a=4\ AU

So, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years lies at an average distance from the Sun equal to 4 astronomical units.

Otrada [13]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law and the kinematic equations of movement description.

Newton's second law is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m = mass

a = acceleration

From this equation we can figure the acceleration out, then

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{11*10^3}{80}

a = 137.5m/s

From the cinematic equations of motion we know that

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

Where,

v_f =Final velocity

v_i =Initial velocity

a = acceleration

x = displacement

There is not Final velocity and the acceleration is equal to the gravity, then

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

0-v_i^2 = 2(-g)x

v_i =\sqrt{2gx}

v_i = \sqrt{2*9.8*4.8}

v_i = 9.69m/s

From the equation of motion where acceleration is equal to the velocity in function of time we have

a = \frac{v_i}{t}

t = \frac{v_i}{a}

t =\frac{9.69}{137.5}

t = 0.0705s

Therefore the time required is 0.0705s

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

3×10^7 m/s or 0.10c (e)

Explanation: If the actual value of the speed of light were to be put into consideration.

Given that the speed of light is c = 3.0×10^8m/s

The alien spaceship is approaching at the rate of 10% of the speed of light.

10% of 3.0×10^8m/s

10/100 × 3.0×10^8m/s

0.1 ×3.0×10^8m/s

3×10^7 m/s. Which is the same thing as 0.1 of c = 0.1×c
