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 car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?
VLD [36.1K]
The initial kinetic energy of the car is
E_1 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 =  1.9 \cdot 10^3 J

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: v_2 =  \frac{v_1}{2}
so, the new kinetic energy is
E_2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 =  \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
E_2 =  \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J

HOW FAR DOES A UNICYCLE TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 20 M/S FOR 15 SECONDS?​
astra-53 [7]

Given:-

  • Speed of the unicycle = 20 m/s
  • Time taken = 15 s

To Find: Distance travelled by the unicycle.

We know,

s = vt

where,

  • s = Distance travelled,
  • v = Speed &
  • t = Time taken.

Therefore,

s = (20 m/s)(15 s)

→ s = (20 m)(15)

→ s = 300 m (Ans.)
