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.

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) =  (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂

You cheated on a test and you know it was the wrong thing to do according to the psychology theory what helped you know this
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

You cheated on a test, and you know it was the wrong thing to do. According to the psychoanalytic theory, what helped you know this?

The id controlled your biological response and made you sweaty because you were scared of getting caught.

The superego acted as your moral conscience; you just knew that it wasn't right to cheat.

The ego made you feel guilty as a defense mechanism. both B and C

Explanation:

the  answer is both B,C

Some students set up a circuit and decided to measure the voltage at different points around
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

 V₁ = 6 V ,  V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we must remember that there are two fundamental types of construction in series and parallel.

* a serial circuit there is only one path for current

in this circuit the constant current in the entire circuit and the voltage is the sum of the voltage of each term

* Parallel circuit in this there are two or more paths for the current

in this circuit the voltage is constant and the east is divided between each branch

with these principles let's analyze the proposed circuit

The DC battery is in parallel with resistor R1 and the equivalent of the other branch,

as in a parallel circuit the voltage is constant

               V₁ = 6 V

in the other branch (23) it forms a series construction, where the current is constant

               6 = iR₂ + iR₃

as they indicate that each resistance has the same value

              6 = 2 iR

              V = V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

Veseljchak [2.6K]
The lemon trees will always be the same so they are the constants. The independent variable is the water amount because it is changing. The dependent variable is the amount of lemons because it is the variable being tested. (If we change the amount of water how many lemons will be produced?)
