A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.

1 m/s to a point on its outmost wall, thereby providing an artificial gravity of 1g. What should be the tangential speed to increase the artificial gravity to 2 g?
a. 44.2 m/s
b. 31.3 m/s
c. 88.4 m/s
d. 27.8 m/s
e. 177 m/s

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius  r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is  ∝ v²

so we can say

\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}    .....................1

put here value

\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}  

solve it

v2 = \sqrt{2 } × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?
SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

<em></em>

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from top of a hill to the bottom, reaching a translational speed of 6.8 m/s. Ignore frict
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

for baseball

(a) Let the mass of the baseball is m.

radius of baseball is r.

Total kinetic energy of the baseball, T = rotational kinetic energy + translational kinetic energy

T = 0.5 Iω² + 0.5 mv²

Where, I be the moment of inertia and ω be the angular speed.

ω = v/r

T = 0.5 x 2/3 mr² x v²/r² + 0.5 mv²

T = 0.83 mv²

According to the conservation of energy, the total kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the total potential energy at the top.

m g h = 0.83 mv²

where, h be the height of the top of the hill.

9.8 x h = 0.83 x 6.8 x 6.8

h = 3.93 m

(b) Let the velocity of juice can is v'.

moment of inertia of the juice can = 1/2mr²

So, total kinetic energy

T = 0.5 x I x ω² + 0.5 mv²

T = 0.5 x 0.5 x m x r² x v²/r² + 0.5 mv²

m g h = 0.75 mv²

9.8 x 3.93 = 0.75 v²

v = 7.2 m/s

A displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint. 

The given above gave a time interval in minutes which needs to be converted to seconds. Given that each minute is 60 seconds, 5 minutes equal 300 seconds. To determine the distance, multiply time with speed. The product is 225 m. 

Thus, the displacement is 225 m.

A 90-kilogram physics student would weigh 2970 Newtons on the surface of planet X. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due
KiRa [710]
<u>Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)</u>

Divide each side by (mass),and we have

                     Acceleration of gravity = (weight) / (mass)

Acceleration of gravity = 2,970/90 = 33 newtons per kilogram = <em>33 m/s²</em>
