Given Information:

Diameter = d = 100 m

Required Information:

Period = T = ?

Answer:

Period = T = 14.2 seconds

Explanation:

We know that a station revolving  at an angular velocity ω,  have an  acceleration given by

α = ω²r

Where ω is angular velocity and r is the radius of cylindrical space station.

Normal gravity means α = g = 9.8 m/s²

ω² = α/r

ω = √(α/r)

The radius is given by

r = d/2

r = 100/2

r = 50 m

ω = √(9.8/50)

ω = 0.4427 rad/sec

We also know that

ω = 2πf

f = ω/2π

f = 0.4427/2π

f = 0.0704 rev/sec

Finally time period is given by

T = 1/f

T = 1/0.0704

T = 14.2  sec

Therefore, the rotation period is 14.2 seconds.

If you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time you can determine
Nutka1998 [239]
With that information, you can determine the object's speed.
Just divide the distance covered by the time to cover the distance.

If you also know the direction the object moved, then you can
determine its velocity.  If you don't, then you can't.

Which of the following best describes entropy
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Exothermic reactions increase the entropy of the surroundings. Simply put, entropy measures the dispersal of energy. Since ΔH is negative in an exothermic reaction, this must mean that ΔS will take on a positive value, indicating an increase in entropy.

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) 0.31 rad/s

b) 100 J

c) 6.67 W

Explanation:

(a) the force would generate a torque of:

T = FR = 18 * 2.4 = 43.2 Nm

According to Newton 2nd law, the angular acceleration would be

\alpha = \frac{T}{I} = \frac{43.2}{2100} = 0.021 rad/s^2

It starts from rest, then after 15s it would achieve a speed of

\omega = \alpha t = 0.021 * 15 = 0.31 rad/s

(b) The distance angle swept by it is:

\theta = \frac{\alpha t^2}{2} = \frac{0.021 * 15^2}{2} = 2.314 rad

Hence the work by the child

W = T\theta = 43.2 *2.314  \approx 100 J

c) Average power to work per time unit

P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{100}{15} = 6.67 W
