You are the sole crew member of the interplanetary spaceship t: 1339 vorga, which makes regular cargo runs between the earth and the mining colonies in the asteroid belt. you are working outside the ship one day while at a distance of 2.0 au from the sun. (1au (astronomical unit) is the average distance from the earth to the sun, 149,600,000 km.) unfortunately, you lose contact with the ship's hull and begin to drift away into space. you use your spacesuit's rockets to try to push yourself back toward the ship, but they run out of fuel and stop working before you can return to the ship. you find yourself in an awkward position, floating a distance of 16.4 m away from the spaceship with zero velocity relative to it. fortunately, you are carrying a flashlight with a power of 190 w . you turn on the flashlight and use its beam as a "light rocket" to push yourself back toward the ship
part a. if you, your spacesuit, and the flashlight have a combined mass of 160 kg , how long will it take you to get back to the ship?
part b: is there another way you could use the flashlight to accomplish the same job of returning you to the ship?

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizer sheets whose transmission axes are at right angles. a third polarizer is placed between the first two so that its axis makes a 52-degree angle with the axis of the first polarizer. a) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the first polaroid? b) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the second polaroid? c) what is the angle of polarization of the light that enters the third polaroid? d) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the third polaroid. e) what happens if the middle polaroid is removed?

5submission this assignment is worth 20 points total. you are required to submit the following by next lab: 1. (3 points) determine the equation for the output angular velocity ω2 = θ˙ 2 as a function of θ1, ω1 = θ˙ 1 and α. you must show all your work to receive credit. 2. (2 points) use the result of problem#1 to plot ω2 over 0 ≤ θ1 ≤ 360deg with ω1 = 360deg/sec. do this for α = {10,30}deg. show the results on the same plot and properly label the axes, title, legend. for this you can use matlab or ms excel. 3. (3 points) determine the equation for the output angular acceleration ω˙ 2 and create a plot similar to the one in problem#2. 4. (10 points) submit plots of the results (ω2 and ω˙ 2) obtained from creo/mechanism and compare them to results of problem#2 and problem#3. note that you should do these comparisons for the two cases with α = {10,30}deg. 5. (2 points) provide a brief explanation of the results. did they match? what are the implications as misalignment angle increases?

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.
