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

Electric Charge

Charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field due to the physical property of electric charge. You can have a positive or negative electric charge (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Unlike charges attract one another while like charges repel one another. Neutral refers to an object that carries no net charge. Classical electrodynamics, the name given to an early understanding of how charged particles interact, is still accurate for issues that do not call for taking into account quantum phenomena.

The coulomb (C), which bears the name of French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, is the SI-derived unit of electric charge. The charge symbol, lowercase q, is frequently used.

Balance the equation: ___ SiO2 + ___ HF  ___ SiF4 + ___ H2O
olga_2 [115]
Let's start from the Fluorine (F), which has 4 atoms on the right side: this means we must put a factor 4 in front of HF to balance the number of atoms of Fluorine. 
Nowe we have 4 atoms of hydrogen, H, on the left side. Since we have a H_2 on the right side (2 atoms), we must put a factor 2 in front of H_2 O, to balance the number of atoms of hydrogen.
So now the atoms of oxygen are also balanced (2 on both sides), as well as the atoms of Silicon (Si), so the balanced reaction is

Si O_2 + 4 HF \rightarrow SiF_4 + 2 H_2 O

Jenna rides her scooter at a constant speed for 6 km. That part of her ride takes her 1 h. She then
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

5km/h

Explanation:

The equation for average speed is

Vavg = Δd/Δt

where Δd is distance and Δt is time

from what's given, we know she travelled 15km in total and the trip took 3 hours in total. We can now plug in the values into the equation

Vavg = 15/3

Vavg = 5km/h
