Two spacemen are floating together with zero speed in a gravity-free region of space. The mass of spaceman A is 140 kg and that of spaceman B is 100 kg. Spaceman A pushes B away from him with B attaining a final speed of 0.5 m/s. The final recoil speed of A is:
a -zero
b -0.38 m/s
c -0.5 m/s
d -0.67 m/s
e -1 m/s

Which of these is not a possible type of energy transformation? a. electrical energy into light energy b. sound energy into nuclear energy c. potential energy into kinetic energy d. kinetic energy into mechanical energy

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

The weights of bags filled by a machine are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.05 kilograms and a mean that can be set by the operator. at what level should the mean weight be set if it required that only 1% of the bags weigh less than 9.5 kilograms? round the answer to 2 decimal places.
