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>

A light wave travels through air in equals 1.00 at an angle of 35 degrees what angle does it have when it passes from the air in
lyudmila [28]

Answer: Angle 59 degree

Explanation: Given that the

n1 = 1.0

n2 = 1.5

Øi = 35 degree

From Snell law, which says that

n1/n2 = sinØ1/ sinØ2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1/1.5 = sin 35/sinØ2

Cross multiply

Sin Ø2 = 1.5 sin35

SinØ2 = 1.5 × 0.573 = 0.860

Ø2 = sin^-1(0.860)

Ø2 = 59.36 degree

Ø2 = 59 degree ( approximately)

It has angle 59 degree when passing from air to glass

In concave mirror, the size of image depends upon
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The distance of the object placed on the principal axis from the concave mirror.

Explanation:

In a concave mirror, the nature of the image formed formed by the object placed in front of the mirror depends on the position of the object placed in from of the mirror. It all depends on the distance between the mirror and the object placed on the principal axis.

The closer the object is to the lens, the more larger or magnified the image formed will be. For example an object placed between the focal point and the pole of a concave produces a much larger image than an object placed beyond the centre of curvature of such mirror.

When the cornea and lens of the eye do not properly focus
frutty [35]

Answer:

When there is nearsightedness or myopia

Explanation:

As, in myopia the image is formed in front of the retina.

Which makes things looking at things near very easy, but looking at far away things very difficult.

So concave lens makes things look bigger, so therefore, it is used during myopia, to make things look bigger when they are far away

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.
