An astronaut accidentally gets separated...

An astronaut accidentally gets separated out llf his small spaceship accelerating in interstellar space at a constant rate of `100ms^(2)`.What is the aceceleration of the astronaut the instant after he is outside the spaceship?
(Assume that there are no nearby stars to exert gravitational force on him)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Zero, by Newton's first law of motion , he moves with constant velocity as no external force acts on him .

If accleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is 10ms^(-2) and let acceleration due to gravitational acceleration at surface of another planet of our solar system be 5ms^(-2) An astronaut weighing 50kg on earth goes to this planet in spaceship with a constant velcity The weight of the astronaut with time of fiight is roughly given by .

Two vertical cylinders are connected by a small tube at the bottom. It contains a gas at constant temperature . Initially the pistons are located at the same height. The diameters of the two cylinders are different . Outside the cylinder the space is vaccum . Gravitational acceleration is h,h_(0) = 20cm , m_(1) = 2kg "and" m_(2) =1kg . The pistons are initially in equilibrium. If the masses of the piston are interchanged find the separation between the two pistons when they are again in equilibrium. Assume constant temperature .

Ram and Ali have been fast friends since childhood. Ali neglected studies and now has no means to earn money other than a channel whereas Ram has become an engineer. Now both are working in the same factory. Ali uses camel to transport the load within the factory. Due to low salary and degradation in health of camel, Ali becomes worried and meets his friend Ram and discusses his problems. Ram collected some data and with some assumptions concluded the following: i. The load used in each trip is 1000kg and has friction coefficient mu_k=0.1 and mu_s=0.2 . ii. Mass of camel is 500kg . iii. Load is accelerated for first 50m with constant acceleration, then it is pulled at a constant speed of 5ms^-1 for 2km and at last stopped with constant retardation in 50m . iv. From biological data, the rate of consumption of energy of camel can be expressed as P=18xx10^3v+10^4Js^-1 where P is the power and v is the velocity of the camel. After calculations on different issues, Ram suggested proper food, speed of camel, etc. to his friend. For the welfare of Ali, Ram wrote a letter to the management to increase his salary. (Assuming that the camel exerts a horizontal force on the load): The ratio of the energy consumed by the camel during uniform motion for the two cases when it moves with speed 5ms^-1 to the case when it moves with 10ms^-1
