Answer:

<em>a) 12614.4 m^3</em>

<em>b) 28.8 m</em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm^3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?

The average breathing rate is 12 breaths per minute

there are 60 minutes x 24 hours x 365 days in a year = 525600 minutes in a year

if an average human takes 12 breath per minute, then in a year an average human take 12 x 525600 = 6307200 breath

For the four astronauts, the amount of breath = 4 x 6307200 = 25228800 breath in total.

The volume of air per breath = 500 cm^3

1 cm^3 = 10^-6 m^3

500 cm^3 = x m^3

x = 500 x 10^-6 = 5 x 10^-4 m^3

Therefore in a year, the volume of these astronauts breath in a year = 5 x 10^-4 x 25228800 = <em>12614.4 m^3</em>

b) If the space station is spherical, the volume will be given as = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

where r is the radius of the space station

This volume of the space station must be able to contain all the volume of breath produced by the astronauts which is = 12614.4 m^3

Equating, we have

12614.4 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

12614.4 = \frac{4}{3}*3.142*r^3

12614.4 = 4.1893r^{3}

r^{3} = 12614.4/4.1893 = 3011.1

r = \sqrt[3]{3011.1} =<em> 14.4 m</em>

<em>diameter of the space station = 14.4 m x 2 =  28.8 m</em>

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) according to Faraday's law , b) creating a faster movement, placing more turns on coil

Explanation:

a) The voltage is induced in the coil by the relative movement between it and the magnet, therefore according to Faraday's law

           E = - d (B A) / dt

In this case, the magnet is involved, so the value of the magnetic field varies with time, since the number of lines that pass through the loop changes with movement.

This voltage creates a current that charges the battery

b) There are several ways to increase the voltage

* creating a faster movement, can be done by the user

* placing more turns on the coil, must be done by the manufacturer

A common physics demonstration is to drop a small magnet down a long, vertical aluminum pipe. Describe the motion of the magnet
Rzqust [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This experiment is known as Lenz's tube.

The Lenz tube is an experiment that shows how you can brake a magnetic dipole that goes down a tube that conducts electric current. The magnet, when falling, along with its magnetic field, will generate variations in the magnetic field flux within the tube. These variations create an emf induced according to Faraday's Law:

\varepsilon =-\frac{d\phi_B}{dt}

This emf induced on the surface of the tube generates a current within it according to Ohm's Law:

V=IR

This emf and current oppose the flux change, therefore a field will be produced in such a direction that the magnet is repelled from below and is attracted from above. The magnitude of the flux at the bottom of the magnet increases from the point of view of the tube, and at the top it decreases. Therefore, two "magnets" are generated under and above the dipole, which repel it below and attract above. Finally, the dipole feels a force in the opposite direction to the direction of fall, therefore it falls with less speed.

Glycerin at a temperature of 30 degrees celcius flows at a rate of 8×10−6m3/sthrougha horizontal tube with a 30mmdiameter. what
marusya05 [52]

The pressure drop in pascal is 3.824*10^4 Pascals.

To find the answer, we need to know about the Poiseuille's formula.

<h3>How to find the pressure drop in pascal?</h3>
  • We have the Poiseuille's formula,

                     Q=\frac{\pi r^4P}{8\beta l}

  • where, Q is the rate of flow, P is the pressure drop, r is the radius of the pipe, is the coefficient of viscosity (0.95Pas-s for Glycerin) and l being the length of the tube.
  • By substituting values and rearranging we will get the pressure drop as,

                  P=3.284Pascals

Thus, we can conclude that, the pressure drop in pascal is 3.824*10^4.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

if the man doubles his force to 40 and the box was yet to move that means acceleration also doubled so your answer would be A
