A healthy astronaut's heart rate is 60 beats/min. Flight doctors on Earth can monitor an astronaut's vital signs remotely while

in flight.How fast would an astronaut be flying away from Earth if the doctor measured her having a heart rate of 21 beats/min?

GIVEN:
60 beats per minute
21 beats per minute
find x= how fast would an astronaut be flying away
1 x
----- * ------ = (60x = 21) -------> 60x = 21 ------------> x= 0.35
60 21 ------- -----
60 60

The answer is 0.35 seconds which refers to how fast would an astronaut be flying away from the earth if he has a heart rate of 21 beats/min.

Answer:

2.81 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

R₁ = rate of heartbeat on earth = 60 beats/min

T₁ = Time period for 1 beat on earth = 1/R₁ = 1/60 min = 60/60 sec = 1 sec

R₂ = rate of heartbeat on location of astronaut = 21 beats/min

T₂ = Time period for 1 beat at the location of astronaut = 1/R₂ = 1/21 min = 60/21 sec

v = speed of astronaut

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Using the equation

T₁ = T₂ sqrt(1 - (v/c)²)

1 = (60/21) sqrt(1 - (v/(3 x 10⁸))²)

v = 2.81 x 10⁸ m/s

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. She watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands,

Elenna [48]

Let $u$ be the initial velocity of the soccer ball at an angle of inclination of $\theta_0$ with the positive x-axis.

Given that:

$\theta_0=45^{\circ}$

The horizontal distance covered by the projectile=20 m

Time of flight, $t_f=2$ seconds

Acceleration due to gravity, $g= 10 m/s^2$ downward.

As "north" and "up" as the positive x ‑ and y ‑directions, respectively.

So, $g= -10 m/s^2$

As the acceleration due to gravity is in the vertical direction, so the horizontal component of the initial velocity remains unchanged.

The x-component of the initial velocity, $u_x=u\cos\theta_0$ .

The horizontal distance covered by the projectile $= u_x\times t_f$

$\Rightarrow u_x\times t_f=20$

$\Rightarrow u_x\times 2=20$

$\Rightarrow u_x=10$ m/s

So, the horizontal component of the velocity is 10 m/s which is constant and the graph has been shown in the figure (i).

Now, $u\cos(45^{\circ})=10$ [as $u_x=u\cos\theta_0$ ]

$\Rightarrow u=10\sqrt{2}$ m/s.

The vertical component of the initial velocity,

$u_y= u\sin\theta_0$

$\Rightarrow u_y=10\sqrt{2}\sin(45^{\circ})$

$\Rightarrow u_y=10$ m/s

Let v be the vertical component of the velocity at any time instant t.

From the equation of motion,

$v=u+at$

where u: initial velocity, v: final velocity, a: constant acceleration, and t: time taken to change the velocity from u to v.

In this case, we have $u=u_y, a= -10 m/s^2$ .

So at any time instant, t.

$v=u_y+(-10)t$

$\Rightarrow v=10-10t$

The vertical component of the velocity, v, is the function of time and related as $v=10-10t$ .

This is a linear equation.

At 2 second, the vertical component of the velocity

v=10-10x2=-10 m/s.

The graph has been shown in figure (ii).

Liz puts a 1 kg weight and a 10 kg on identical sleds. She then applies a 10N force to each sled. Which does not explain why the

Mariana [72]

Answer: C

Explanation:
The acceleration does not depend directly on the mass of the object.

Newton's Law is Force = Mass x Acceleration.
Therefore, Acceleration = Force/Mass

The same force is applied in both cases.
Therefore acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.
As mass decreases, acceleration increases.

A rabbit is moving in the positive x-direction at 1.10 m/s when it spots a predator and accelerates to a velocity of 10.9 m/s al

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

aₓ = 0 , ay = -6.8125 m / s²

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve with kinematics equations.

Initially the rabbit moves on the x axis with a speed of 1.10 m / s and after seeing the predator acceleration on the y axis, therefore its speed on the x axis remains constant.

x axis

vₓ = v₀ₓ = 1.10 m / s

aₓ = 0

y axis

initially it has no speed, so v₀_y = 0 and when I see the predator it accelerates, until it reaches the speed of 10.6 m / s in a time of t = 1.60 s. let's calculate the acceleration

$v_{y}$ = v_{oy} -ay t

ay = (v_{oy} -v_{y}) / t

ay = (0 -10.9) / 1.6

ay = -6.8125 m / s²

the sign indicates that the acceleration goes in the negative direction of the y axis
