nasa 20 g centrifuge is used for testing space equipment and the effect of acceleration on humans. the centrifuge consists of an

arm of length 17.8m, rotating at constant speed and producing an acceleration equal to 20 times the acceleration of free fall. Calculate the angular speed required to produce centripetal acceleration of 20g.

Answer:

3.32 rad/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is:

a = v² / r

Angular velocity is:

ω = v / r

v = ωr

Substituting:

a = (ωr)² / r

a = ω² r

Given that a = 20 g and r = 17.8 m:

20 (9.8 m/s²) = ω² (17.8 m)

ω = 3.32 rad/s

A child is pushing a merry-go-round. The angle through which the merry-go-round has turned varies with time according to θ(t)=γt
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a. \ \gamma +3\beta t^2\\\\b. \ 0.350rad/s\\\\\\c. \omega_i_n_s_t=1.25rad/s\\\\d. w_a_v=0.7rad/s

Explanation:

a. Angular velocity,\omega is defined as the rate of change of position of a rotating body with respect to time. so omega,\omega= theta/time and theta =the position angle.

-Angular velocity of the merry-go-round can thus be calculated and  expressed as:

\omega=\frac{d\thata}{dt}=\frac {d(\gamma t+\beta t^3)}{dt}\\=\gamma +3\beta t^3

b. From a above, we know that our angular velocity is \omega=\gamma +3\beta t^3 ,we can substitute t=0 to find our initial velocity.

\omega_t_=_o=\gamma+3\beta \times (0)^3\\w_t_=_0=0.350rad/s

Hence the value of angular velocity at t=0 is 0.350rad/s

c. To calculate the instantaneous angular velocity at t=5.00s, we

\omega_t_=_5=\gamma +3\beta t^3\\=0.350+ 3\times 0.0120 \times 5^3\\=1.25rad/s

Therefore, the instanteneous angular velocity is 1.25rad/s

d. The average angular velocity between t=0 and 2=5s is calculated as

-At t=0,(\theta)=\gamma \times 0+\beta \times 0=0

-At time t=5s, \omega=5\gamma +125\beta\times=3.5rad\\

Therefore, the average angular velocity is calculated as

\omega_a_v=\frac{\bigtriangleup \theta}{\bigtriangleup t}=\frac{\theta_2-\theta_1}{t_2-t_1}\\=\frac{3.5-0}{5-0}\\\\=0.7rad/s

Hence the average angular velocity is 0.7rad/s

#instantenous angular velocity does not increase linearly .

I WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINLIEST!!! An object is launched straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 40 meters per second
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

8.9 seconds

Explanation:

The height of the object at time t is:

y = h + vt − 4.9t²

where h is the initial height, and v is the initial velocity.

Given h = 30 and v = 40:

y = 30 + 40t − 4.9t²

When y = 0:

0 = 30 + 40t − 4.9t²

4.9t² − 40t − 30 = 0

Solving with quadratic formula:

t = [ -(-40) ± √((-40)² − 4(4.9)(-30)) ] / 2(4.9)

t = [ 40 ± √(1600 + 588) ] / 9.8

t = 8.9

It takes 8.9 seconds for the object to land.
