An astronaut in his space suit and with a propulsion unit (empty of its gas propellant) strapped to his back has a mass of 146 kg. the astronaut begins a space walk at rest, with a completely filled propulsion unit. during the space walk, the unit ejects some gas with a velocity of 37 m/s. as a result, the astronaut recoils with a velocity of -0.39 m/s. after the gas is ejected, the mass of the astronaut (now wearing a partially empty propulsion unit) is 165 kg. what percentage of the gas propellant was ejected from the completely filled propulsion unit

At 20∘c, the hole in an aluminum ring is 2.800 cm in diameter. you need to slip this ring over a steel shaft that has a room-temperature diameter of 2.804 cm . 1. to what common temperature should the ring and the shaft be heated so that the ring will just fit onto the shaft? coefficients of linear thermal expansion of steel and aluminum are 12×10−6 k−1 and23×10−6 k−1 respectively.

In the future, people will only enjoy one sport: electrodisc. in this sport, you gain points when you cause metallic discs hovering on a field to exchange charge. you are an electrodisc player playing the popular four disc variant. the disks have charges of qa = −8.0 µc, qb = −2.0 µc, qc = +5.0 µc, and qd = +12.0 µc. (1) you bring two disks together and then separate them. you measure the resulting charge of these two disks and find that it is +5.0 µc per disk. which two disks did you bring together? (a) a and b (b) a and c (c)a and d (d)b and c(e) b and d (f) c and d. (2) you bring three disks together and then separate them. you measure the resulting charge of these three disks and find that it is +3.0 µc per disk. which three disks did you bring together? a, b, and c (a) a, b, and d (c) a, c, and d (d) b, c, and d. (3) given the resulting charge of each disk measured in (b) is +3.0 µc, how many electrons would you need to add to a disk of this charge to electrically neutralize it? electrons
