Answer:
ma = 48.48kg
Explanation:
To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:
(1)
mc: mass of the chair
k: spring constant = 600N/m
T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s
You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:
(2)
Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:
T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s
M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?
(3)
Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :
The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg
Answer:
MATERIAL MEDIUM
Explanation:
Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.
Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.
Answer:
2633.7 s
Explanation:
From the question,
Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water
Applying,
P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1
Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time
make t the subject of the equation
t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C
Substitute these values into equation 2
t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500
t = 9218000/3500
t = 2633.7 s
Answer:
v_average = 15 m / s
Explanation:
The average speed can be found in two ways,
* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent
* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction
v_average = 1 / t_total ∑ 
vi ti
Let's apply this last equation
Total time is
t = t₁ + t₂
t = 10 + 10 = 20 min
v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20
v_average = 10/2 + 20/2
v_average = 15 m / s
The wall will push back, in exactly the opposite direction, and with
exactly the same size force.
That's why the net force on the palm of your hand is zero, and that
in turn is the reason that your hand doesn't accelerate.
If you keep increasing the strength of your push, then eventually you
exceed the force that the wall is capable of delivering. Then the wall
crumbles and falls, your hand accelerates in the direction you're pushing,
and the crowd goes wild !
