A space station, in the form of a wheel 119 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 2.20 m/s2 for persons w

ho walk around on the inner wall of the outer rim. find the rate of the wheel's rotation in revolutions per minute that will produce this effect.

<span>Well, since it's in the shape of a wheel and the person walks around the edge of it, they must have a centripetal acceleration. Since a=v^2/r you can solve for "v" using 2.20 as your "a" and 59.5 as your "r" (r=half of the diameter).
</span> a=v^2/r 
 v=(a*r)^(1/2)=((2.20)*(59.5))^(1/2)=<span> <span>11.44 m/s.
</span></span><span> After you get "v," plugged that into T=2 pi r/ v. This will give you the 1rev per sec.
</span> T=2 pi r/ v= T=(2)*(pi)*(59.5)/(11.44)= <span> <span>32.68 rev/s
</span></span> Use dimensional analysis to get rev per min (1rev / # sec) times (60 sec/min). 
 (32.68 rev/s)(60 s/min)=<span> <span>1960.74 rev/min
</span></span>

In a plate glass factory, sheets of glass move along a conveyor belt at a speed of 15.0 cm/s. An automatic cutting tool descends
Leni [432]

Answer:

angle at which the cutter should be set = 32°

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed of conveyor belt; v1 = 15 cm/s

Width;w = 72 cm

Speed of the cutter that moves across the width; v2 = 24 cm/s

Let's calculate time;

Since the width and the rate at which the cutter works per seconds is given, thus;

Time = w/v2

Time = 72/24 = 3 seconds

Now, we know that, velocity = distance/time

Thus, distance = velocity x time

So, distance covered;d = 15 x 3 = 45 cm

Now, for us to calculate the angle the cutter should be set, we would treat it as a triangle.

When the cutter cuts it, it covers a distance d which is perpendicular to the width.

Thus, to calculate the angle made with the width, we'll use trigonometric ratio.

Thus, d/w = tan θ where θ is the angle at which the cutter should be set.

So, 45/72 = tan θ

tan θ = 0.625

θ = tan^(-1)0.625

θ = 32°
