A space station with a radius of 120 m rotates once every 70 s to create artificial gravity. If the astronaut has an earth weigh

t of 160 lbs, then what is its artificial weight?

Answer:

Artificial weight = 70.27 N = 15.80 lbs

Explanation:

The earth weight of the astronaut = 160 lbs = 711.72 N

The weight on earth = m × g(earth)

g(earth) = 9.8 m/s²

711.72 = m × 9.8

m = (711.72/9.8)

m = 72.62 kg

But at the space station, the space station rotates once every 70 s to create an artificial radial acceleration that creates a radial gravity pulling the objects on the space station towards the centre of that space station.

radial acceleration = α = (v²/r)

v = rw,

α = (rw)²/r

α = rw²

r = radius of rotation = 120 m

w = angular velocity = (2π/70) (it completes 1 rotation, 2π radians, in 70 s)

w = 0.0898 rad/s

α = 120 × (0.0898²)

α = 0.968 m/s²

Artificial weight = (mass of astronaut) × (Radial acceleration) = 72.62 × 0.968

Artificial weight = 70.27 N = 15.80 lbs

Hope this Helps!!!

Why are body senses in psychology?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Body senses provide you with information about the position of your body in respect to your environment. The four main ones are touch, pain, vestibular, and kinesthesis.

More in details:

Our senses allow us to experience the world we live in, and are one of the key components of consciousness. ... This is why the study of our senses, or sensation, is considered to be such an important area of psychology, because it is one of the key components that makes consciousness possible.

If the designers of submarines do not appropriately account for hydrostatic pressure,
andre [41]

Answer:

A) the pressure could crush the submarine

Explanation:

  • The submarines are mainly used for defense purposes.
  • In world war 1 and 2 the submarines played a vital role in the war.
  • The submarines work according to the principle of buoyancy.
  • According to this principle, when seawater is filled inside the tank in a required amount, the submarines sink.
  • When the seawater is expelled, the submarine rises to above the sea.
  • Most of the time, it dives deep into the sea, the hydrostatic pressure should be taken into account.
  • If the hydrostatic pressure is not considered, the pressure could crush the submarine.

Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time. If a runner increases velocity
Anton [14]

Answer:

a = 0,1[m/s^2]

Explanation:

First we need to indentify the initial data.

And using this kinematic equation we have:

v = 4[m/s]\\v_{0}= 2 [m/s] \\t = 20[s]\\\\v= v_{0}+a*t\\a=\frac{v-v_{0}}{t} \\a= \frac{4-2}{20} \\a=0.1[m/s^{2}]
