It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 14.5 mi long and 4.78 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies

. What angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on Earth?

Angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on Earth is 0.0466 rad/s.

Length of the cylinder, L = 9 mi

= (14.5mi)(1609.344 m / 1 mi)

= 23,335.48 m

Diameter of the cylinder, D = 4.78 mi

= (4.78 mi)(1609.344 m / 1 mi)

= 7692.645 m

Radius of the cylinder, r = D / 2

= ( 7692.645 m) / 2

=  3846.32 m

Centripetal acceleration is given by, ac = v^2 / r

We have the relation between linear velocity (v) and the angular velocity(ω) as

 v = r ω

Then, ac = v2 / r

= (rω)2 / r

ac = ω^2 r

If the centripetal acceleration is equals the free fall acceleration of earth, then

ω^2 r = g

ω=0.0466 rad/s

  • Angular acceleration is the term used to describe the rate of change in angular velocity. If the angular velocity is constant, the angular acceleration is constant.

Plz help me!!!! A spring is connected to a wall as shown below. A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the springs and p
kirill [66]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

F = k·Δx

where

F is the restoring force of the spring

k is the proportionality constant called the ‘spring constant’

Δx is the change in the spring’s position due to the deformation.

You need the k so

25 cm= 0.25m

k=F/∆x = 80/0.25 = 320 N/m

A body is moving with a uniform acceleration of 2m/s² what does it mean?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

the body has energy due to its constant motion. it means it moves in a uniform acceleration which has zero velocity

Explanation:

Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.

What is mass times acceleration?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Force

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.

Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/s^{2}.

When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.

i.e     F = m × a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.

Consider an old-fashion bicycle with a small wheel of radius 0.17 m and a large wheel of radius 0.92 m. Suppose the rider starts
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

10259.6 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of small wheel,r=0.17 m

Radius of large wheel,r'=0.92 m

Initial velocity,u=0

Time,t=2.7 minutes=162 s

1 min=60 s

Velocity,v=10m/s

Time,t'=13.7 minutes=822 s

Time,t''=4.1 minutes=246 s

v=u+at

Substitute the values

10=0+162a=162a

a=\frac{10}{162}=0.0617m/s^2

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Substitute the values

s=\frac{1}{2}(0.0617)(162)^2=809.6 m

s'=vt'=10\times 822=8220 m

a'=\frac{v}{t''}=\frac{10}{246}

s''=\frac{1}{2}a't''^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{10}{246}(246)^2=1230 m

Total distance traveled by rider=s+s'+s''=809.6+8220+1230=10259.6 m
