Answer:

a) $1.94 \frac{rad}{s}$

b) $9.12\frac{m}{s}$

c) Towards the center of the centrifuge

Explanation:

Becuse the centrifuge rotates in circular motion, there's an angular acceleration tha simulates high gravity accelerations

$a_{rad}=\omega r^{2}$

with r the radius and ω the amgular velocity, in or case $a_rad=3.5g$ so:

$3.5g=\omega r^{2}$ and g=9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

solving for ω:

$\omega=\frac{3.5g}{r^2}=\frac{3.5*9.8}{4.2^2}$

$\omega = 1.94 \frac{rad}{s}$

b) Linear speed (v) and angular speed are related by:

$v=\omega r =(1.94)(4.7)$

$v= 9.12\frac{m}{s}$

c) The apparent weigth is pointing towards the center of the circle, becuse angular acceleration is pointing in that direction.

Answer: Option B: 1.3×10⁵ W

Explanation:

$Power = \frac{Work \hspace{1mm} done}{Time}$

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

Work Done, $W= F.s$

Where s is displacement in the direction of force and F is force.

$\Rightarrow P = \frac{F.s}{t} =F \times \frac{s}{t}=F.v$

where, v is the velocity.

It is given that, F = 5.75 × 10³N

v = 22 m/s

P = 5.75 × 10³N×22 m/s = 126.5 × 10³ W ≈1.3×10⁵W

Thus, the correct option is B

PLEASE HELP!!! WILL GIVE 30 POINTS!! HAS TO BE CORRECT!

belka [17]

Answer:

Disruption to electricity power grid

Explanation:

We're looking a a solar flare. This will whip solar particles at high velocity into space and, If they are near earth, will interact with the earth's magnetic field. These magnetic changes will be measurable in the electric grid. Whether they are strong enough to cause "disruption" depends on a huge number of factors such as strength of and angles of the interacting magnetic fields and location of grid infrastructure,

How dose an atom change if all of its electrons are removed

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The atom becomes a positively charged ion.

Explanation:

The building blocks of an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The protons and neutrons present in the core of the atom are called nucleus.
The electrons are scattered in an ordered way around the nucleus.
The protons are positively charged and the electrons are negatively charged particles. The neutrons do not possess any charges.
Binding energy is supplied to the atom to remove an electron.
It is possible to remove the electrons of the lighter elements.
When an electron is removed from the hydrogen atom. It becomes positively charged ion or simply proton.
When all of the electrons are removed from the helium atom, it becomes a positively charged α particle.
It is practically very difficult to remove all of the electrons from the heavier elements.
When all of the electrons are removed from an atom it becomes an unstable positively charged ion.

A 4000 kg satellite is placed 2.60 x 10^6 m above the surface of the Earth.

mash [69]

a) The acceleration of gravity is $4.96 m/s^2$

b) The critical velocity is 6668 m/s (24,006 km/h)

c) The period of the orbit is 8452 s

d) The satellite completes 10.2 orbits per day

e) The escape velocity of the satellite is 9430 m/s

f) The escape velocity of the rocket is 11,191 m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity for an object near a planet is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

h is the height above the surface

In this problem,

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius)

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$ (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

$g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.96 m/s^2$

The critical velocity for a satellite orbiting around a planet is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

where we have again:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius)

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$ (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=6668 m/s$

Converting into km/h,

$v=6668 m/s \cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1000 m/km}=24,006 km/h$

The period of the orbit is given by the circumference of the orbit divided by the velocity:

$T=\frac{2\pi (R+h)}{v}$

where

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$

v = 6668 m/s

Substituting,

$T=\frac{2\pi (6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}{6668}=8452 s$

One day consists of:

$t = 24 \frac{hours}{day} \cdot 60 \frac{min}{hours} \cdot 60 \frac{s}{min}=86400 s$

While the period of the orbit is

T = 8452 s

So, the number of orbits completed by the satellite in one day is

$n=\frac{t}{T}=\frac{86400}{8452}=10.2$

The escape velocity for an object in the gravitational field of a planet is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

where here we have:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$

Substituting, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=9430 m/s$

We can apply again the formula to find the escape velocity for the rocket:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

Where this time we have:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=0$ , because the rocket is located at the Earth's surface, so its altitude is zero.

And substituting,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)}}=11,191 m/s$
