Human centrifuges are used to train military pilots and astronauts in preparation for high-g maneuvers. A trained, fit person we

aring a g-suit can withstand accelerations up to about 9g (88.2 m/s2) without losing consciousness.
(a) If a human centrifuge has a radius of 4.00 m, what angular speed (in rad/s) results in a centripetal acceleration of 9g?
_______rad/s

(b) What linear speed (in m/s) would a person in the centrifuge have at this acceleration?
________m/s

(a) The angular speed of the human centrifuge is 4.7 rad/s.

(b) The linear speed (in m/s)  a person in the centrifuge would have at this is 18.8 m/s.

<h3>Angular speed of the human centrifuge</h3>

a = ω²r

where;

  • a is centripetal acceleration = 9g
  • r is radius of human centrifuge

ω = √(a/r)

ω = √(9g/r)

ω = √(9 x 9.8 / 4)

ω = 4.7 rad/s

<h3>Linear speed of the centrifuge </h3>

v = ωr

where;

  • v is linear speed

v = (4.7 rad/s) x 4 m

v = 18.8 m/s

Thus, the angular speed of the human centrifuge is 4.7 rad/s. The linear speed (in m/s)  a person in the centrifuge would have at this is 18.8 m/s.

light of a wavelength 600 nm shines on a soap bubble film. For what soap film thickness will destructive interference occur
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of light, λ = 600 nm

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is given by;

t = \frac{\lambda/n}{2}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}

where;

n is refractive index of soap film = 1.33

t = \frac{\lambda}{2n} \\\\t = \frac{600*10^{-9}}{2(1.33)}\\\\t = 2.2556 *10^{-7} \ m\\\\t =  225.56 *10^{-9} \ m\\\\t = 225.56 \ nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m

A person just supports a mass of 20kg suspended from a rope.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

F = 200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass suspended from the rope, m = 20 kg

We need to find the resultant force acting on the rope. The resultant force on the rope is equal to its weight such that,

F = mg

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

Put all the values,

F = 20 kg × 10 m/s²

F = 200 N

So, the resultant force on the mass is 200 N.

Light travels at a speed of close to 3 x 10^5 km/s in vacuum. Given that it takes light 8 min and 19 s to travel the distance fr
never [62]

Answer:

1497×10⁵ km

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum = 3×10⁵ km/s

Time taken by the light of the Sun to reach the Earth = 8 min and 19 s

Converting to seconds we get

8×60+19 = 499 seconds

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=3\times 10^5\times 499\\\Rightarrow \text{Distance}=1497\times 10^5\ km

1 AU = 1497×10⁵ km

The Sun is 1497×10⁵ km from Earth
