An astronaut is working outside of the International Space Station when her propulsion stops working. She's floating in space, not moving relative to space station. Rather than have the rest of the crew break out the robotic arm to pick her up, she decides to use the tools at hand. The astronaut has a gun used for equipment repair that shoots metal pieces at a high speed. The mass of the astronaut and all her equipment is LaTeX: M_aM a. This includes the astronaut, space suit, the gun, and all the metal pieces in the gun. The mass of the metal pieces is LaTeX: M_mM m. The gun shoots out the metal with a speed LaTeX: v_rv r relative to the gun. Part A: Using the variables above, solve for an equation giving the speed of the astronaut after firing the gun once.

Abatter hits the baseball a with an initial velocity of v0 = 110 ft/sec directly toward fielder b at an angle of 23° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.2 ft above ground level. fielder b requires 0.44 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. because of great experience, fielder b chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneously with the baseball. the catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 8.4 ft. determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

Total solidification times of three casting geometries are to be compared: a sphere, a cylinder, in which the length-to-diameter ration - 1.0, and a cube. volume = 1000 cm^3 for all three shhapes, and the same casting alloy is used. a) determine the solidification times of each geometry b) based on the results of part (a), which geometric element would make the best riser? c) if the mold constant = 3.5 min/cm^2 in chvorinov's rule, compute the total solidification time for each casting.

Engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new material will lower the costs of buying and operating airplanes for companies. what is probably the best step for the engineers to make next?
