The centripetal acceleration is responsible for the artificial gravity because the acceleration of an object moving in constant circular motion causing from net external force is called centripetal acceleration. It defines to the center or seeking the center.

Given the following:

Cylindrical space station diameter           = 275 meters; 137.5 meters for the radius

Standard gravity                                       = 9.80665 m/s²

 

Using the formula:

w² x r =g

w² = g / r

w² = 9.80665 m/s² / 137.5 m

w² = 9.80665 m/s² / 137.5 m

w² = 0.0713 s²

Then take the roots

w = 0.267 this is radians per second / 2 x (3.1416 which is the pi)

w = 0.0424 rps convert to rpm

w = 0.0424 r/s (1minute / 60 seconds)

w = 7.08 x 10⁻⁴ revolutions per minute

A carbon resistor is 4 mm long and has a constant cross section of 0.2 mm2. The conductivity of carbon at room temperature is 3
tangare [24]

Answer:

The resistance is found to be 6Ω

The current is found to be 0.66 A

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor in terms of its dimensions is given as:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = resistance = ?

ρ = resistivity = 3 x 10⁴ Ω.m

L = Length = 4 mm = 0.004 m

A = Cross-sectional area = 0.2 mm² = 0.2 x 10⁻⁶ m²

Therefore,

R = (3 x 10⁴ Ω.m)(0.004 m)/(0.2 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

<u>R = 6 Ω</u>

Now, the potential difference between both ends of the resistor is:

ΔV = 16 V - 12 V = 4 V

Now, from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 4 V/ 6 Ω

<u>I = 0.66 A</u>

When planning an experiment, a scientist must first choose a question to investigate. In an experiment, Renata changes the relea
dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

In the course of the experiment, two key phrases/variables defined the experiment done,

i) the release height of the steel ball (independent variable)

ii) the distance the ball travels from the ramp before falling to the ground (dependent variable)

The only option that contains and relates this two variables as carried out during the course of the experiment is option D.

When a circuit is arranged in parallel:________
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Answer:

B .There are multiple paths the electrons can take through the circuit, and it is possible for the electron to pass through one circuit component but not another.

Explanation:

Because in a parallel circuit, all components are connected across each other, forming exactly two sets of electrically common points.

Problem 2: Estimate the electric power requirement, in kW, of a 1,400 ft2floor area (three bedroomshome) with three occupants. U
stira [4]

Answer:

a) 3170 kw

b) 377 km^2

Explanation:

Estimate of electric power

a) Given :

Average power consumption for a family of 3 = 108.4 * 106 BTU per year  =  0.0317 kw = 31.7 watts

<u>The power requirement for a city of 300000 people </u>

= 31.7 watts * 100000 = 3170000 watts = 3170 kw

b) Given :

Average solar panel insulation = 8.4 W /m^2

<u>Estimate the area of silicon solar cells required to satisfy community power requirement</u>

= (1 * 3170) * (1000/8.4 )

= 377.380 * 10^3 m2 = 377 km^2
