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

What is the purpose of an experiment design?
Eddi Din [679]
An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.

Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.
Katen [24]
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>

suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front end collsion by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain
IRINA_888 [86]

Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f

where :

K_i = 0 is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

U_i = mgh is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

U_f = 0 is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation,  we find

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

and we have:

g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m

When vibrational motion in an object increases, which is a true statement?
ss7ja [257]
Hello friend!!

We know that kinetic energy is the energy possessed due to the motion of the object. And we know if the object is in a fast motion then the temperature would be high, whereas if the object is slow in motion then it will have lower temperature. So we know that the kinetic energy is indirectly related to temperature.From our knowledge we can conclude that HIGHER THE TEMPERATURE, HIGHER THE KINETIC ENERGY and LOWER THE TEMPERATURE, LOWER THE KINETIC ENERGY.
Hence, the answer to your question here is,a.kinetic energy, temperature, and thermal energy increase. 
Hope it helps!!All the best!!

The kitchen in your house measures 10 ft by 10 ft. You need to have 50 footcandles of illumination in the room. How many 60 watt
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<u>6 bulbs</u> are needed to illuminate the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of kitchen (A) = 10 ft by 10 ft = 100 sq. ft

Number of footcandles (n) = 50

Lumens emitted by 1 bulb = 834

Number of bulbs (N) = ?

We are also given,

1 foot candle = 1 lumen/sq. ft

So, 50 foot candles = 50 lumens/sq. ft

Now, for an area of 1 sq. ft 50 lumens are emitted.

So, for an area of 100 sq. ft, lumens emitted = 50 × 100 = 5000 lumens

Now, one bulb emits = 834 lumes

Therefore, number of bulbs required for emitting 5000 lumens is given as:

N=\frac{Number\ of\ lumens}{Number\ of\ lumens\ by\ 1\ bulb}\\\\N=\frac{5000}{834}=5.995\approx6

So, 6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.
