At its Ames Research Center, NASA uses its large "20-G" centrifuge to test the effects of very large accelerations ("hypergravit

y") on test pilots and astronauts. In this device, an arm 8.84 m long rotates about one end in a horizontal plane, and the astronaut is strapped in at the other end. Suppose that he is aligned along the arm with his head at the outermost end. The maximum sustained acceleration to which humans are subjected in this machine is typically 12.5 g. How fast must the astronaut's head be moving to experience the maximum acceleration?

Answer:

v=32.9m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration needed to mantain a circular motion of radius r and speed v is given by the equation a=v^2/r

This is the centripetal acceleration. The person will feel what is called a centrifugal acceleration, of the same value, because he is not in an inertial frame (thus subject to fictitious forces, product of inertia).

We want to know the speed of his head when it is subject to 12.5 times the value of the acceleration of gravity while moving on a 8.84m radius circle, so we must do:

v=\sqrt{ar} = \sqrt{12.5gr}=\sqrt{(12.5)(9.8m/s)(8.84m)}=32.9m/s

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air
Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity of the ball = 20 m/s

angle of ramp = 22°

ball travel at a distance  = 5 m

a) for friction less  

  \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh

             v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

             v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0}

             v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0 }

                    v = 17.58 m/s

b) considering the friction

  \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh-\mu_kmgl

             v^2 = u^2 - 2gh-2\mu_kmgl

             v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0-2\mu_kgl}

             v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0-2\times 0.15\times 9.8 \times 5 }

                   v = 17.16 m/s

What are the two main types of energy?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Fourth option

Explanation:

They're many different types of energy, from chemical and mechanical to heat and solar energy. But the two most basic types of energy are "kinetic and potential energy" or the fourth option. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has when it is in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has when it's as rest. These two specific types of energies are the most basic and you can even convert them into many different types of energies, like heat or electrical energy.

Hope this helps.

Means/end analysis involves:_________
polet [3.4K]

a. a gradual approximation to the final solution

Explanation:

Means/end analysis is a process that involves creation of an end goal to enable the identified means to apply.

In this techniques sub-goals are formed to eliminate the challenges faced in application of a selected operator.

It starts by identifying a predetermined goal which is followed by actions that will led to the goal.

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe
KIM [24]

Answer:

- the expected value is 8

- the standard deviation is 2.8284

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,

∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)

so

the mean is;

λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month

E[N(t)] = λt

E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)

E[N(t)] = 8

Therefore, the expected value is 8

For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,

Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = 8

so the standard deviation will be;

σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )

σ[N(24)] = √(8 )

σ[N(24)] = 2.8284

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284
