The International Space Station has a mass 1.8  105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the station so she accelerates at 1.50 m/s2.
 
  What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the space station as the astronaut is pushing off the wall relative to an observer initially at rest relative to the space station before the push? A)
 
  5.8  10-4 m/s2
  B)
 
  1.50 m/s2
  C)
 
  4.7  10-4 m/s2
  D)
 
  zero
  E)
 
  3.9  10-3 m/s2

Question 2

A solid sphere of mass 1.5 kg and radius 15 cm rolls without slipping down a 35 incline that is 7.0 m long. Assume it started from rest. The moment of inertia of a sphere is given by I= (2/5)MR2.
 
  (a) Calculate the linear speed of the sphere when it reaches the bottom of the incline.
  (b) Determine the angular speed of the sphere at the bottom of the incline.
  (c) Does the linear speed depend on the radius or mass of the sphere? Does the angular speed depend on the radius or mass of the sphere?

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

(a) 7.5 m/s
(b) 50 rad/s
(c) The linear speed depends on neither the radius nor the mass of the sphere. The angular speed depends on the radius of the sphere.

The tallest man ever known was Robert Wadlow, an American, who reached the height of 8 feet 11 inches. He died at age 26 years from an infection caused by the immense weight of his body (491 pounds) and the stress on his leg bones and muscles.

According to research, pregnant women tend to eat more if carrying a baby boy. Male fetuses may secrete a chemical that stimulates their mothers to step up her energy intake.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
