A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of a radius of 153 m and a moment of inertia of 4.16 × 10⁸ kg·m² (when it

is unmanned). A crew of 150 live on the rim, and the station is rotating so that the crew experience an apparent acceleration of 1g. When 100 people move to the center of the station, the angular speed changes. What apparent acceleration is experienced by the managers remaining at the rim? Assume that the average mass of each inhabitant is 65.0 kg. m/s².

Answer:

a = 1.709g

Explanation:

Given the absence of external forces being applied in the space station, it is possibly to use the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation, which states that:

I_{o} \cdot \omega_{o} = I_{f} \cdot \omega_{f}

The required initial angular speed is obtained herein:

g= \omega_{o}^{2}\cdot R_{ss}

\omega_{o}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{R_{ss}} }

\omega_{o}= \sqrt{\frac{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }{153\,m} }

\omega_{o} \approx 0.253\,\frac{rad}{s}

The initial moment of inertia is:

I_{o} =I_{ss}+n\cdot m_{person}\cdot R_{ss}^{2}

I_{o} = 4.16\times 10^{8}\,kg\cdot m^{2}+(150)\cdot (65\,kg)\cdot (153\,m)^{2}

I_{o} = 6.442\times 10^{8}\,kg\cdot m^{2}

The final moment of inertia is:

I_{f} =I_{ss}+n\cdot m_{person}\cdot R_{ss}^{2}

I_{f} = 4.16\times 10^{8}\,kg\cdot m^{2}+(50)\cdot (65\,kg)\cdot (153\,m)^{2}

I_{f} = 4.921\times 10^{8}\,kg\cdot m^{2}

Now, the final angular speed is obtained:

\omega_{f} = \frac{I_{o}}{I_{f}}\cdot \omega_{o}

\omega_{f} = \frac{6.442\times 10^{8}\,{kg\cdot m^{2}}}{4.921\times 10^{8}\,kg\cdot m^{2}} \cdot (0.253\,\frac{rad}{s} )

\omega_{f} = 0.331\,\frac{rad}{s^}

The apparent acceleration is:

a_{f} = \omega_{f}^{2}\cdot R_{ss}

a_{f} = (0.331\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}\cdot (153\,m)

a_{f} = 16.763\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

This is approximately 1.709g.

A research group at Dartmouth College has developed a Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System that can be used to collect data about
Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm

At its maximum speed, a typical snail moves about 4.0 m in 5.0 min.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s

Which energy transformations BEST illustrates why people can walk? A) Chemical energy is being converted into light energy. B) C
Gekata [30.6K]

The answer is letter c.

The explanation behind this is when human consumes a plant or when a human being eats an animal that ate a plant. The chemical energy kept in the plant (or animal) cells is progressed into the cells of the human's body. All of the body progressions, like ingestion, breathing, pumping blood, are driven by cells changing the kept chemical energy into heat and work, in a procedure called respiration. In the muscle cells of the human (or any animal), the chemical energy is converted into mechanical work and heat. The muscle pacts, the legs thrust, and the body jumps into the air.
