Complete question:

In the movie The Martian, astronauts travel to Mars in a spaceship called Hermes. This ship has a ring module that rotates around the ship to create “artificial gravity” within the module. Astronauts standing inside the ring module on the outer rim feel like they are standing on the surface of the Earth. (The trailer for this movie shows Hermes at t=2:19 and demonstrates the “artificial gravity” concept between t= 2:19 and t=2:24.)

Analyzing a still frame from the trailer and using the height of the actress to set the scale, you determine that the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module is 11.60 m

What does the rotational speed of the ring module have to be so that an astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth?

Answer:

The rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s

Explanation:

Given;

the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module r, = 11.60 m

When the astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth, then their centripetal acceleration will be equal to acceleration due to gravity of Earth.

Centripetal acceleration, a = g = 9.8 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration, a = v²/r

But v = ωr

a = g = ω²r

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}} = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{11.6} } = 0.92 \ rad/s

Therefore, the rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s

What makes psychoanalysis different from behaviorism?
svp [43]
Psychoanalysis is a form of therapy that treats mental disorders through different ways, such as dream interpretation. It is a way of looking into the line between conscious and <span>unconsciousness </span>

Behaviorism is a theory that says that mental disorders are treated better with altering the persons behavior patterns.

I think they're different because behaviorism is just simply a theory and not actually a form of therapy.

Hopefully that helps you tell them apart!

The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discover
givi [52]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity, a=4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Pluto, m=1.4\times 10^{22}\ kg

Distance between Neptune and Pluto, r=4.5\times 10^{12}\ m

The force of gravity is balanced by the gravitational force between Neptune and Pluto. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.4\times 10^{22}}{(4.5\times 10^{12})^2}

a=4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration due to gravity at Neptune due to Pluto is 4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
