Dizziness. Our balance is maintained, at least in part, by the endolymph fluid in the inner ear. Spinning displaces this fluid,

causing dizziness. Suppose a dancer (or skater) is spinning at a very fast 2.9 revolutions per second about a vertical axis through the center of his head. Although the distance varies from person to person, the inner ear is approximately 7.0 cm from the axis of spin.What is the radial acceleration (in m/s^2 ) of the endolymph fluid?

Answer:

23.2 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, we need to convert the angular velocity from revolutions per second to radiands per second. We know that

1 rev = 2 \pi rad

So\omega = 2.9 rev/s \cdot 2\pi rad/rev =18.2 rad/s

We also know that the distance of the inner ear from the centre of the circular path is

r = 7.0 cm = 0.07 m

the radial (centripetal) acceleration experienced by a point on the inner ear is

a=\omega^2 r

Therefore, substutiting the previous values, we find the radial acceleration of the endolymph fluid:

a=(18.2)^2(0.07)=23.2 m/s^2

What is the most likely reason it is dangerous to break open a compressed gas tank?
erastova [34]
The main reason why it's very dangerous to open compress gas tank is it can cause major disaster not only in human but also in plants and animals. Compress gas is flammable. And it's like a bomb the damage of gas tank is very catastrophic. It is very harmful if mishandled.

What is the equation for determining the value of a specific gas constant using the universal gas constants
maria [59]

Answer:

Physically, the gas constant is the constant of proportionality that relates the energy scale in physics to the temperature scale, when a mole of particles at the stated temperature is being considered. Thus, the value of the gas constant ultimately derives from historical decisions and accidents in the setting of the energy and temperature scales, plus similar historical setting of the value of the molar scale used for the counting of particles.

A 30.0 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension (in N) in the rope if the box has an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s and is slo
hjlf

Answer:

360 N

Explanation:

m = 30kg    u = 2 m/s     a = -2m/s/s

Since the object has an initial velocity of 2 m/s and acceleration of -2 m/s/s

the object will come to rest in 1 second but the force applied in that one second can be calculated by:

F = ma

F = 30 * -2

F = -60 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the force applied on the box due to gravity

letting g = -10m/s/s

F = ma

F = 30 * -10

F = -300 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the total downward force:

-300 + (-60) = -360 N

<em></em>

<em>Hence, a downward force of 360 N is being applied on the box and since the box did not disconnect from the rope, the rope applied the same amount of force in the opposite direction</em>

Therefore tension on the force = <u>360 N</u>
