Earths plates move, creating them to rub together to create earthquakes, and volcanoes occur because magma melts rocks and the pressure is so intense it causes the lava to leak out of the top of a mountain

A 70.0 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 15.0 m

Levart [38]

Answer:

1.3823 rad/s

20.7345 m/s

28.66129935 m/s²

$a=2.92164g$

2006.29095 N radially outward

Explanation:

r = Radius = 15 m

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Angular velocity is given by

$\omega=13.2\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1.3823\ rad/s$

Angular velocity is 1.3823 rad/s

Linear velocity is given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=15\times 1.3823\\\Rightarrow v=20.7345\ m/s$

The linear velocity is 20.7345 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=r\omega^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=15\times 1.3823^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=28.66129935\ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration is 28.66129935 m/s²

Acceleration in terms of g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{28.66129935}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=2.92164g$

$a=2.92164g$

Centripetal force is given by

$F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=70\times 28.66129935\\\Rightarrow F_c=2006.29095\ N$

The centripetal force is 2006.29095 N radially outward

The torque will be experienced when the centrifuge is speeding up of slowing down i.e., when it is accelerating and decelerating.

An 80-kg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kg football horizontally at 15 m/s . Suppose that

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

0.0241875 m

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of quarterback = 80 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of football = 0.43 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of quarterback

$v_2$ = Velocity of football = 15 m/s

Time taken = 0.3 seconds

In this system as the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{0.43\times 15}{80}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.080625\ m/s$

Assuming this velocity is constant

$Distance=Velocity\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.080625\times 0.3\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.0241875\ m$

The distance the quarterback will move in the horizontal direction is 0.0241875 m
