Matthew Damon is a 70-kg astronaut on a space-walk outside the international space station. He is at rest when the tether line connecting him to the space station breaks. In order to make it back to the space station he throws his 2.0-kg hammer at a speed of 14 m/s away from the space station. As a result, what speed does the astronaut move toward the capsule? a) 1.5 m/s b) 5.0 m/s c) 0.40 m/s d) 3.5 m/s

You are the pilot of a spacecraft intended for travel at very high speeds. Before leaving you measure the spacecraft to be 31.4 m long and have a mass of 5.28 x 104 kg. During your travel, you pass a planet and exchange information with an observer on the planet. You are told that your spacecraft has been measured to be 28.6 m long. a. How fast is your spacecraft travelling with respect to the planet? b. You are told there is a nearby planet that is stationary with respect to the first planet. The observer on the first planet says it will take you 25 s to reach the nearby planet. How far away does your co-pilot on the spacecraft say the nearby planet is? c. How much energy was required to accelerate your spacecraft to this speed?
An astronaut is doing a spacewalk on a long tether at 0.1 km away from the International Space Station (mass of 420,000 kg). His spacesuit includes a very sensitive gravitometer, which indicates the gravitational force acting on the astronaut and his spacesuit from the ISS is 7.0 E−7 N. What is the mass of the astronaut in his suit if G = 6.67 E−11 N*m2/kg2? 1. 150 kg 2. 200 kg 3. 250 kg 4. 300 kg
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?
At its closest distance from Earth, the moon experiences a gravitational force of 2.22 E 20 N. The mass of the Earth is 5.97 E24 kg. The mass of the moon is 7.35 E22 kg. What is the distance between the Earth and the moon at that point if G = 6.67 E−11 N*m2/kg2? 1. 1.32 E 4 km 2. 3.63 E 6 km 3. 3.63 E 8 km 4. 1.32 E 17 km
On planet #2, you launch a projectile straight up from the ground at a speed of 31.7 m/s. The projectile reaches a maximum height of 48.0 m before falling back to the ground. What is the value of g for planet #2? 20.94 m/s^2 36.34 m/s^2 72.68 m/s^2 10.47 m/s^2
In the movie The Rocketeer, a teenager discovers a jet-powered backpack in an old barn. The backpack allows him to fly at incredible speeds. In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” He does this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Is the physics of this scene “Good,”“Bad,” or “Ugly?” Draw and Explain.
ycla 3. A car travelling at 122 km/h strikes a tree, the front end of the car compresses, and the driver comes to rest after traveling 0.558 m. What was the average acceleration of the driver during the collision? Express your answer in terms of g's (1.00g = 9.80 m/s'). g's %3D Given the fact that humans can withstand a maximum of 25 g's for a short time without brainy injury, what would the condition of this driver most likely be? Impact khl l
The position of a 2.6 kg mass is given by x=(2t3−5t2) m, where t is in seconds. What is the net horizontal force on the mass at t=0s? What is the net horizontal force on the mass at t=1s?
Your mass is 77.1 kg, and the sled s mass is 22.3 kg. The sled is moving by itself on the ice at 4.72 m/s. You parachute vertically down onto the sled, and land gently. What is the sled s velocity with you now on it? 1.38 m/s 1.22 m/s 1.06 m/s 0.53 m/s
Answer part C). If the blue object actually had an inital veloctiy of 50 m/s j, how long after the green projetile is launched should the blue object be launched if they are to collide? Let the blue object be traveling upward when they collide.
