This question is not complete.

The complete question is as follows:

One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates “artificial gravity” at the outside rim of the station. (a) If the diameter of the space station is 800 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 9.80m/s2?

Explanation:

a. Using the expression;

T = 2π√R/g

where R = radius of the space = diameter/2

R = 800/2 = 400m

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

1/T = number of revolutions per second

T = 2π√R/g

T = 2 x 3.14 x √400/9.8

T = 6.28 x 6.39 = 40.13

1/T = 1/40.13 = 0.025 x 60 = 1.5 revolution/minute

Ball 1, with a mass of 20kg is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should ball 2, with a mass of 40kg, move so that
Ket [755]
This is a conservation of momentum question. Initial momentum of the system is the momentum of ball 1 plus the momentum of ball 2. The final momentum of the system should be 0 since the balls stand still after the collision.

mv + mv = 0

mv = -mv

(20)(20) = -(40)Vi

400 = -40Vi

Vi = -10

So ball 2 should travel at 10m/s to the left

What is the weight of a 76 kg astronaut on earth on the moon on mars?
Fantom [35]
The weight of a 76 kg astronaut on Earth is 750N.
The weight of a 76 kg astronaut on the Moon is 130N.
The weight of a 76 kg astronaut on Mars is 280N.

The mass is the same everywhere, the weight chages with change of location (gravity field). I rounded all answers to two significant figures. Hope this helps.<span>

a cannonball is fired with a speed of 76 m/s from the top of a cliff. It strikes the plane below with a speed of 89 m/s. if we n
galina1969 [7]

Assuming the cannonball is fired horizontally, its horizontal velocity stays at a constant 76 m/s. At the point it hits the ground, it has a speed of 89 m/s, so if its vertical velocity at that moment is v_y, we have

89\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\sqrt{\left(76\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+{v_y}^2}\implies{v_y}^2\approx2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}

(taking the negative square root because we take the downward direction to be negative)

Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

where v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities, respectively; a is the acceleration; and \Delta x is the change in position of a body. In the cannonball's case, it starts with 0 vertical velocity and is subject to a downward acceleration with magnitude g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}. So we have

2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}-0=-2g\Delta y\implies\Delta y\approx-109.44\,\mathrm m

(which is negative because we take the cannonball's starting position at the top of the cliff to be the origin) so the cliff is about 109 m high.

A rotating heavy wheel is used to store energy as kinetic energy. If it is designed to store 1.00 x 106 J of kinetic energy when
valkas [14]

We know, 1\ rpm = \dfrac{2\pi}{60} \ rad/s .

64\ rpm\ is = \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\times 64\ rad/s\\\\= \dfrac{32\pi}{15}\ rad/s

We know, kinetic energy is given by :

K.E = \dfrac{I\omega^2}{2}\\\\I = \dfrac{2(K.E)}{\omega^2}\\\\I = \dfrac{2\times 10^6}{\dfrac{32}{15}\times \pi}\\\\I = 298415.52 \ kg \ m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.
