You find yourself stuck in outerspace with nothing but your physics book and spacesuit. You have a mass of 108kg in your suit and your physics book has a mass of 3.7 kg. In order to make it back to your stationary spaceship before running out of air you must move at .29 m/s. How fast in m/s do you have to throw your physics book to achieve the speed

- A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 240.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 278 grams Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 240. grams Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 192 gram How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel? Consider: UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s2 .

- 6. A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that elapses. a. Assume that we get 40 by dividing 60 by 1.5. What is the name that is commonly given to a quantity represented by this number 40? b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the number 40? c. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention distance and time. d. Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 seconds.arrow_forwardA 12.5 kg box sits on a shelf that is 1.8 m high.
