Given that the space station is free of gravitational force, it is required that it spins an certain speed to acquire centripetal acceleration.

In this case, you want that the centripetal acceleration, Ac, equals g (gravitational acceleration on the earth), becasue this will cause a centripetal force equal to the weight on earth.

The formula for centripetal acceleration is Ac = [angular velocity]^2*R

where R = [1/2]50.0m = 25.0 m

Ac = 9.81 m/s^2

=> [angular velocity]^2 = Ac/R = 9.81m/s^2v/ 25.0m = 0.3924 (rad/s)^2

[angular velocity] = √(0.3924) rad/s = 0.63 rad/s

Answer: 0.63 rad/s

For #5 It's helpful to draw a free body diagram so you know which way the forces are acting on the block.

the weight mg is acting downwards, and you need to find the vertical and horizontal components of mg using sin and cosine. so do 15x9.8xsin40 which is the force. Assuming no friction, this is the only force acting on the block, as the forces on the vertical plane cancel out i.e the normal force and weight of the block.

after, just do F=ma And since you know F and m, solve for a.

When a surface is illuminated with electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 480 nm, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted ele
algol [13]

Answer:

Max kinetic energy for 340 nm wavelength will be 2.238\times 10^{-19}j

Explanation:

In first case wavelength of electromagnetic radiation \lambda =480nm=480\times 10^{-9}m

Plank's constant h=6.6\times 10^{-34}J-s

Maximum kinetic energy = 0.54 eV

Energy is given by E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{480\times 10^{-9}}=4.125\times 10^{-19}J

We know that energy is given

E=K_{MAX}+\Phi, here \Phi is work function

So 4.125\times 10^{-19}=0.54\times 10^{-19}+\Phi

\Phi =3.585\times 10^{-19}J

Now wavelength of second radiation = 340 nm

So energy E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{340\times 10^{-9}}=5.823\times 10^{-19}J

So K_{MAX}=5.823\times 10^{-19}-3.585\times 10^{-19}=2.238\times 10^{-19}j

Which of the following graphs correctly represents the relationship between the pressure and the volume of an ideal gas that is
vazorg [7]
Well, you haven't given us much of a choice of graphs to pick from, have you.

If a sample of an ideal gas is held at constant temperature, then
its pressure and volume are inversely proportional ... the harder
you squeeze it, the smaller the volume gets, and less squeeze
produces more volume.

Actually, the product of (pressure) x (volume) is always the
same number.

The graph of that relationship is all in the first quadrant.
It starts out very high right next to the y-axis, then drops down
toward the x-axis while curving to the right and becoming horizontal,
and ends up trying to get closer and closer to the x-axis but never
actually becoming zero.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

n = 1.76

Explanation:

According to the rule of ( n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2 )

we know both angles so we insert them to the law and apply n1 = 1

so 1/2 = n2 sin 62 and we get the final answer
