A 70-kg astronaut (including spacesuit and equipment) is floating at rest a distance of 13 m from the spaceship when she runs out of oxygen and fuel to power her back to the spaceship. She removes her oxygen tank (3.0 kg) and flings it away from the ship at a speed of 15 m/s relative to the ship.

Required:
a. At what speed relative to the ship does she recoil toward the spaceship?
b. How long must she hold her breath before reaching the ship?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the astronaut including the spacesuit, [tex]M=30[/tex]

distance of astronaut from the spaceship, d = 13 m

mass of the oxygen tank, m = 3 kg

Speed of tank with respect to spaceship, [tex]v=15~m/s[/tex]

a)

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

[tex]M.u=m.v+(M-m)v'[/tex]

[tex]0=3\times 15+(70-15)\times v'[/tex]

[tex]v'=0.82~m/s[/tex]

b)

She mush hold her breath until she reaches the spaceship, i.e.

A fast moving vehicle travelling at a speed of 25.4 m/s comes up behind another vehicle which is

is 11.4 meters away from the car in front of it, what is the minimum acceleration that the faster car
must exhibit if it is to avoid colliding with the car in front? Assume that both cars are travelling in the
positive direction

Answers

Answer:

     a = 6.1 m / s²

Explanation:

For this kinematics exercise, to solve the exercise we must set a reference system, we place it in the initial position of the fastest vehicle

Let's find the relative initial velocity of the two vehicles

          v₀ = v₀₂ - v₀₁

          v₀ = 25.4 - 13.6

          v₀ = 11.8 m / s

 

the fastest vehicle

          x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

The faster vehicle has an initial speed relative to the slower vehicle, therefore it is as if the slower vehicle were stopped, so the distance that must be traveled in a fast vehicle to reach this position is

          x = 11.4 m

         

let's use the expression

           v² = v₀² - 2 a x

how the vehicle stops v = 0

          a = v₀² / 2x

          a = [tex]\frac{11.8^2}{2 \ 11.4}[/tex]

          a = 6.1 m / s²

this velocity is directed to the left

A 59.0 kg bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the period of oscillation is 0.250 mins, what is the spring constant (in N/m) of the bungee cord, assuming it has negligible mass compared to that of the jumper

Answers

Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is 10.3 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper, m = 59 kg

The period of oscillation, T = 0.25 min = 15 sec

We need to find the spring constant of the bungee cord. We know that the period of oscillation is given by :

[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}[/tex]

Where

k is the spring constant

[tex]T^2=4\pi^2\times \dfrac{m}{k}\\\\k=4\pi^2\times \dfrac{m}{T^2}\\\\k=4\pi^2\times \dfrac{59}{(15)^2}\\\\k=10.3\ N/m[/tex]

So, the spring constant of the spring is 10.3 N/m.

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 560 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 17.2 ns . When a slab of glass with a thickness of 0.810 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 20.8 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell.

Required:
What is the wavelength of the light in the glass?

Answers

Answer:

Distance traveled = 3 * 10E8 * 17.2 * 10E-9 = 5.16 m

.81 / 3 * 10E8 = 2.7 * 10E-9    normal time thru glass

(20.8 - 17.2) * E10-9 = 3.6 * 10E-9   additional time due to glass

c tg = c n ta      where tg and ta are the times spent in glass and air

(Note you can also write Va = n Vg  or  D / ta = n D / tg)

n = tg / ta = 3.6 / 2.7 = 1.33 the index of refraction of the glass

Wavelength (air) = Wavelength (glass) * n

1L of a solution of oxalic acid [(). ] contains 2.52g of acid.
Calculate the molarity of the solution.

Answers

Answer:

0.028 M.

Explanation:

NOTE: This question is a chemistry question. However, the answer to the question can be obtained as shown below:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 2.52 g of oxalic acid, C₂H₂O₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of C₂H₂O₄ = 2.52 g

Molar mass of C₂H₂O₄ = (2×12) + (2×1) + (4×16)

= 24 + 2 + 64

= 90 g/mol

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ = 2.52 / 90

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ = 0.028 mole

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ = 0.028 mole

Volume = 1 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 0.028 / 1

Molarity = 0.028 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.028 M.

Consider two oppositely charged, parallel metal plates. The plates are square with sides L and carry charges Q and -Q. What is the magnitude of the electric field in the region between the plates

Answers

Answer:

 E = [tex]\frac{Q}{L^2 \epsilon_o}[/tex]

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the electric field is a vector, so the resulting field is

          E_total = E₁ + E₂                      (1)

since the field has the same direction in the space between the planes

Let's use Gauss's law for the electric field of each plate

Let's use a Gaussian surface that is a cylinder with the base parallel to the plate, therefore the normal to the surface and the field lines are parallel and the angle is zero so cos 0 = 1

          Ф  = ∫ .dA = [tex]q_{int}[/tex] /ε₀

if we assume that the charge is uniformly distributed on the plate we can define a charge density

         σ = q_{int} A

             

as the field exists on both sides of the plate on the inside

          E A = A σ / 2ε₀

          E = σ / 2ε₀

           

we substitute in equation 1

         E = σ /ε₀

for the complete plate

         σ = Q / A = Q / L²

         

we substitute

         E = [tex]\frac{Q}{L^2 \epsilon_o}[/tex]

A 650-kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for 3.00 s with constant acceleration until it reaches its cruis- ing speed of 1.75 m/s. (a) What is the average power of the elevator motor during this period

Answers

Answer: [tex]P=5573.43\ W[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the elevator is [tex]M=650\ kg\\\[/tex]

Time period of ascension [tex]t=3\ s[/tex]

cruising speed [tex]v=1.75\ m/s[/tex]

Distance moved by elevator during this time

Suppose Elevator starts from rest

[tex]\Rightarrow v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 1.75=0+a(3)\\\Rightarrow a=0.583\ s[/tex]

Distance moved

[tex]\Rightarrow h=ut+0.5at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0+0.5\times 0.5833\times (3)^2\\\Rightarrow h=2.62\ m[/tex]

Gain in Potential Energy is

[tex]\Rightarrow E=mgh\\\Rightarrow E=650\times 9.8\times 2.62\\\Rightarrow E=16,720.3\ N[/tex]

Average power during this period is

[tex]\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16,720.3}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow P=5573.43\ W[/tex]

Answer:

The power is 331.7 W.

Explanation:

mass, m = 650 kg

time, t= 3 s

initial  velocity,  u = 0 m/s

final velocity, v = 1.75 m/s

(a) The power is defined as the rate of doing work.

Work is given by the change in kinetic energy.

W = 0.5 m (V^2 - u^2)

W = 0.5 x 650 x 1.75 x 1.75 =  995.3 J

The power is given by

P = W/t = 995.3/3 = 331.7 W

Set the initial bead height to 3.00 m. Click Play. Notice that the ball makes an entire loop. What is the minimum height required for the ball to make an entire loop

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the conservation of energy relations

starting point. Before releasing the ball

       Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. In the highest part of the loop

       Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g (2R)

where R is the radius of the curl, we are considering the ball as a point body.

      I = m R²

      v = w R

we substitute

       Em_f = ½ m v² + ½ m R² (v/R) ² + 2 m g R

       em_f = m v² + 2 m g R

Energy is conserved

       Emo = Em_f

       mgh = m v² + 2m g R

       h = v² / g + 2R

 

The lowest velocity that the ball can have at the top of the loop is v> 0

      h> 2R

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is (e) "none of the above".

Explanation:

Given that,

A small object with mass 0.20 kg swings as a pendulum on the end of a long light rope. For small amplitude of swing, the period of the motion is 3.0 s.

If the object is replaced by one with mass 0.400 kg, then we have to find the period for small amplitude of the swing.

We know that the time period can be calculated as :

[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}[/tex]

Where

l is the length

g is acceleration due to gravity

It means the time period is independent of the mass. So, if the mass is replaced by one with mass 0.400 kg, there is no effect on the time period.

12. A car travels in a straight line with an average velocity of 80 km/h for 2.5h and then an average velocity of 40 km/h from 1.5 h (a) what is the total displacement for the 4 h trip? (b) What is the average velocity for the total trip?

Answers

Answer:

a. Total displacement = 140 km/h

b. Average velocity = 35 km/h

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Average velocity A = 80 km/h

Time A = 2.5 hours

Average velocity B = 40 km/h

Time B = 1.5 hours

a. To find the total displacement for the 4 h trip;

Total time = Time A + Time B

Total time = 2.5 + 1.5

Total time = 4 hours

Next, we would determine the displacement at each velocity.

Mathematically, displacement is given by the formula;

Displacement = velocity * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Displacement A = 80 * 2.5

Displacement A = 200 km/h

Displacement B = 40 * 1.5

Displacement B = 60 km/h

Total displacement = Displacement A - Displacement B

Total displacement = 200 - 60

Total displacement = 140 km/h

b. To find the average velocity for the total trip;

Mathematically, the average velocity of an object is given by the formula;

[tex] Average \; velocity = \frac {total \; displacement}{total \; time} [/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Average \; velocity = \frac {140}{4} [/tex]

Average velocity = 35 km/h
