The answer is:
Details are as follows:
According to the problem, we have
The combined mass of A and B is 60kg
A's speed is 2m/s
B's speed is 1m/s
The mass of the bag is 5kg
Typically, the momentum of astronaut A along with the bag is defined by
To prevent a collision, astronaut A should maintain a speed that is either equal to or less than astronaut B's speed
Thus, the minimum speed astronaut A should achieve corresponds to that of astronaut B, which is 1
Consequently,
The force can be determined using the equation F (force) = mass * acceleration. The unit of measurement, N (Newton), is equivalent to kilogram-meter/seconds2.
Thus, F= 1300 kg * 1.07 m/s2 = 1391 N.
The resultant value is 1391 N.
Answer:
The direction in which a vehicle accelerates aligns with its velocity direction. However, the force of acceleration works against the car's speed.
Explanation:
The car’s initial acceleration can be found using:
v = v₀ + a t
a = (v-v₀) t
which assumes the initial speed is zero (v₀ = 0 m/s).
a = v / t
a = 300 / t
The acceleration vector matches the direction of the vehicle's movement.
Upon hitting the wall, a force is exerted in the reverse direction to halt the car, thus this acceleration opposes the vehicle’s speed. However, the module should be much greater since the stopping distance is minimal.
