A stationary astronaut is 181 m from her spaceship. She has exactly 186 seconds left of oxygen left and the thrusters on her spacesuit have malfunctioned. She and her suit have a mass of 134 kg and she is holding a 56.6 kg space wrench. What must be the minimum speed that she must throw the space wrench to make it back to her ship in time? Used=9.8
Spaceship Malfunction. You and your team get a distress call from another ship indicating that there has been an explosion and their propulsion and navigation systems are now off line. A large piece of their ship has been jettisoned into space, and their life support systems are failing. They need help as soon as possible. You try to track them, but are only able to pick up the piece of the craft that had been projected away from them in the explosion. You look up the make and model of their ship, a Galaxy Explorer 5000 (GE 5000), which has a total mass of 51000 kg. The piece heading in your direction is the ship's storage module, and has a mass of 8500 kg. The GE 5000 was at rest with respect to your ship at the time of the explosion. (a) Assuming you received the distress call 20 minutes before the jettisoned storage module passed by your ship at a speed of 650 m/s, what is the speed of the damaged craft? (b) How far away is the Galaxy Explorer 5000 when its storage module passes by?…
The experiment done in lab is repeated, using a ball that has unknown mass m. You plot your data in the form of f 2 versus M/L, with f in rev/s, M in kg, and L in m. Your data falls close to a straight line that has slope 6.69 m/(kg · s2). Use g = 9.80 m/s2 and calculate the mass m of the ball.
An astronaut with a mass of 75.8kg, finds herself 34.7m from her spaceship. The only way for her to return to the ship is to throw her 0.450kg wrench directly away from the ship. If she throws the wrench with a speed of 20.3m/s, how many seconds does it take her to reach the ship?
The force F acting on a body with mass m and velocity v is the rate of change of momentum: F = (d/dt)(mv). If m is constant, this becomes F = ma, where a = dv/dt is the acceleration. But in the theory of relativity the mass of a particle varies with v as follows: m= mo/NT- v/c², where mo is the mass of the particle at rest and c is the speed of light. Show that moa F = (1 – v*/c*)/²
An object has a velocity (4.69 m/s)i + (-4.4 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. In a time of 5.5 s its velocity becomes (-2.22 m/s)i + (0.00 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. 1) If the mass of the object is 3.31 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object, in N, during the 5.5 s? Assume the acceleration is constant.
A hammer of mass m = 0.455 kg is moving horizontally at a velocity of v = 6.5 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail a distance Δx = 0.95 cm into a board. a.) What is the duration of the impact, in seconds, assuming the acceleration of the hammer was constant? b.) What was the average force, in newtons, exerted on the nail?
The vector position of a 3.65 g particle moving in the xy plane varies in time according to r1 = (3î + 3ĵ)t + 2ĵt2 where t is in seconds and r is in centimeters. At the same time, the vector position of a 5.45 g particle varies as r2 = 3î − 2ît2 − 6ĵt.
A child with mass of 16.5 kg stands on the edge of a park bench and leaps into the air. Her initial speed is 2.4 m/s directed at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.28 seconds what is the horizontal component of her velocity in m/s?
Your mass is 86.8 kg, and the sled s mass is 17.2 kg. The sled is moving by itself on the ice at 3.88 m/s. You parachute vertically down onto the sled, and land gently. What is the sled s velocity with you now on it? 0.45 m/s 0.96 m/s 0.80 m/s 0.64 m/s
You wake up in a strange room. There is a window on the floor, and you can see that you are in a rocket which has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 7.03 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.15 m, it hits the floor 0.384 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 22.1 m/s^2 39.0 m/s^2 30.6 m/s^2 33.2 m/s^2
Yesterday you saw in the news that the Giant Asian Murder Hornet has migrated to North America. You didn't think much about it until today when one of those suckers crashed at high speed into the screen door at the back of your house (splat!). The thing hit the door so hard that the door swung shut!We will assume that GAMH had a mass of m = 0.069 kg and was moving with an amazing velocity of v = 9.2 meters/second. The GAMH splatted a distance d = 0.65 meters from the hinge. The door itself can be treated as a rod of mass M = 0.955 kg with a length of L = 1.00 meters rotating about its end.Determine all the following:Write the FORMULA for the moment of inertia of the door without the hornet: I = kg m2Write the FORMULA for the moment of inertia of the door with the hornet: I = kg m2Determine the angular momentum of the hornet before it collides with the door Lhornet = kg m2/sDetermine the angular velocity of the hornet-stained door after the collision ?2 =…
