Astronauts often undergo special training in which they are subjected to extremely high centripetal accelerations. One device ha

s a radius of 15 m and can accelerate a person at 98 m/s2. What is the speed of the astronaut in this device?

Answer:

 Speed of astronaut = 38.34 m/s

Explanation:

 Centripetal acceleration is given by the expression, a=\frac{v^2}{r}, where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

 Here centripetal acceleration is given, radius is given, we need to find velocity.

 Centripetal acceleration = 98 m/s²

 Radius = 15 m.

 We have,

     a=\frac{v^2}{r} \\ \\ 98=\frac{v^2}{15} \\ \\ v=38.34m/s

Speed of astronaut = 38.34 m/s

A force acts on a 5kg object at rest. How fast will the object accelerate on a frictionless surface?
MakcuM [25]

Answer: The answer is C.) 25 m/s^2.

Explanation: If you input 5 as s, you would have to use the exponent 2.  This means that you have to multiply 5 by 5.  5 x 5= 25.  

Edit: Also, because the surface is frictionless, it will make the object go faster too.  Nothing can really slow it down unless something blocks it.

A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 20.6 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of
lesya [120]

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = 20.6\times 10^3\ m

\theta = The angle subtended by moon = 9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad

Distance traveled is given by

s=r\times\theta

\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}

\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m
