NASA scientists suggest using rotating cylindrical spacecraft to replicate gravity while in a weightless environment. Consider s

uch a spacecraft that has a diameter of d = 148 m. What is the speed v, in meters per second, the spacecraft must rotate at its outer edge to replicate the force of gravity on earth?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter of spacecraft d=148\ m

radius r=74\ m

Force of gravity F_g=mg

where m =mass of object

g=acceleration due to  gravity on earth

Suppose v is the speed at which spacecraft is rotating so a net centripetal  acceleration is acting on spacecraft which is given by

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

F_c=F_g

\frac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\frac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{1450.4}

v=38.08\ m/s

what is the angular speed w of the system immediately after the collision in terms f the sstem parameters and I
denis23 [38]

Answer: hello some part of your question is missing attached below is the missing detail

answer :

<em>w</em>f = M( v cos∅ )D / I

Explanation:

The Angular speed <em>wf  </em>of the system after collision in terms of the system parameters  and I can be expressed as

considering angular momentum conservation

Li = Lf

M( v cos∅ ) D = ( ML^2 / 3  + mD^2 ) <em>w</em>f

where ;  ( ML^2 / 3  + mD^2 ) = I ( Inertia )

In terms of system parameters and I

<em>w</em>f = M( v cos∅ )D / I

In a cyclic process, a gas performs 123 J of work on its surroundings per cycle. What amount of heat, if any, transfers into or
Margaret [11]

Answer:

123 J transfer into the gas

Explanation:

Here we know that 123 J work is done by the gas on its surrounding

So here gas is doing work against external forces

Now for cyclic process we know that

\Delta U = 0

so from 1st law of thermodynamics we have

dQ = W + \Delta U

dQ = W

so work done is same as the heat supplied to the system

So correct answer is

123 J transfer into the gas

In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy
Jobisdone [24]

Explanation:

The energy stored in coal is directly form the sun which is solar energy. This energy are preserved in carbon atoms and they originate from the life processes of a plant.

  • Plants carry out photosynthesis and produce their energy by this process.
  • Green plants have special adapted structures by which they trap solar energy from the sun and use it to produce their own food.
  • The food is used by plant for nutrition and life activities.
  • In essence the solar energy is converted to chemical energy in plants.
  • To form coal, when plants are rapidly buried their organic matter is preserved from decay by combination with oxygen.
  • More burial preserves the complex molecules that have stored during photosynthesis.
  • The carbon eventually aggregates for coal.

A pronghorn, the fastest North American animal, is capable of running for at 18 m/s (40 mph) for 10 minutes. The time limit isn’
Otrada [13]

Explanation:

The increase in the body temperature of pronghorn, the fastest North American animal, results from the chemical energy of the pronghorn converting into kinetic energy with efficiency less than 100%. The remaining energy is converted into heat energy. Thus, raising the temperature of pronghorn.

Due to the chemical energy it gains both kinetic and heat energy.

A 4 kg block is pushed up an incline that makes a 30° angle with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Once the block is pushe
Sophie [7]

Answer:

  B)  100 J

Explanation:

Assuming the distance given is measured along the incline, the vertical change in height is (5 m)(sin 30°) = 2.5 m. Then the change in potential energy is ...

  ∆PE = mg(∆h) = (4 kg)(10 m/s^2)(2.5 m) = 100 J
