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.

KIM [24]
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. Therefore, E = A² where A is the amplitude. This therefore means when the amplitude of a wave is doubled the energy will be quadrupled, when the amplitude is tripled the energy increases by a nine fold and so on.
Thus, in this case if the energy is 4J, then the amplitude will be  √4 = 2 .

if a tank filled with water contains a block and the height of the water above point A within the block is 0.6meter, what's the
Fittoniya [83]
The pressure exerted by a fluid solely relies on the depth or height of the fluid, its density, and the gravitational constant. These three are related in the equation:

Pressure = density x g x height

In the problem, point A is within the block inside the tank. The water above the block is assumed to be 0.6 meters. This gives a point A pressure of:

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 0.6 m = 5,886 Pa or 5.88KPa

Which is evidence that a convergent boundary once existed
Vladimir79 [104]

Volcanic islands, Mountain ranges

Explanation:

A convergent margin is plate boundary in which plates comes together. There are different types of interactions that occurs around a place where plate converges.

  • An ocean-continent convergence creates a subduction zone in which the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental crust.
  • As the oceanic plate begins to subside, it can melt and form chains of volcanic island within the riding continents.
  • Also, where two plates of equal densities converge, none of them subsides and this leads to upbuilding.
  • The product can be seen as extensive mountain ranges on earth like the Andes and Himalayas.
