Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 40.0 s to speed up from rest t

o its top speed of 1 rotation every 1.50 s. The astronaut is strapped into a seat 6.20 m from the axis.What is the astronaut's tangential acceleration during the first 40.0 s?How many g's of acceleration does the astronaut experience when the device is rotating at top speed? Each 9.80 m/s^2 of acceleration is 1 g.

Answer

Time period T = 1.50 s

time t = 40 s

r = 6.2 m

a)

Angular speed ω = 2π/T

                              = \dfrac{2\pi }{1.5}  

                              = 4.189 rad/s

Angular acceleration α = \dfrac{\omega}{t}

                                      = \dfrac{4.189}{40}

                                      = 0.105 rad/s²

Tangential acceleration a = r α = 6.2 x 0.105 = 0.651 m/s²

b)The maximum speed.

       v = 2πr/T

          = \dfrac{2\pi \times 6.2}{1.5}

          = 25.97 m/s

So centripetal acceleration.

        a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}

          = \dfrac{25.97^2}{6.2}

          =  108.781 m/s^2

          = 11.1 g    

in combination with the gravitation acceleration.

a_{total} = \sqrt{(11.1g)^2+g^2}

a_{total}= 11.145 g

How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +145 v to a point where it is -55 v
Aleks04 [339]
The work done by the electric field in moving a charge is the negative of the potential energy difference between the two locations, which is the product between the magnitude of the charge q and the potential difference \Delta V:
W=-\Delta U=-q\Delta V=-q (V_f -V_i)
The proton charge is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, and the two locations have potential of V_i = +145 V and V_f=-55 V, therefore the work is
W=-(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(-55 V-(+145 V))=3.2 \cdot 10^{-17}J

A 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. the bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in
sesenic [268]
Momentum before the hit:
p = mv = 0.01 * 300 + 1 * 0 

Momentum after the hit:
p = 0.01 * 150 + 1 * v

Momentum is conserved:
0.01 * 300 = 0.01 * 150 + v 
3 = 1.5 + v
v = 1.5

The velocity of the block after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

A 20-kg block slides down a fixed rough curved track The block has a speed of 5 0 m/s after its height above a horizontal surfac
Crank

Answer:

U = 102.8 J (100 J to two significant digits)

Explanation:

potential energy converted = 20(9.8)(1.8) = 352.8 J

kinetic energy at base of track = ½(20)5.0² = 250 J

energy (work) of friction 352.8 - 250 = 102.8 J
