<span>It is LandSat, a NASA based satelite that records, on a daily basis, multiple reflected wavelengths from the Earth's surface. The satelite measures reflection from both land and ocean upon the Earth. The system is utilised by scientists an policy makers around the world. </span>

A space station has a large ring-like component that rotates to simulategravity for the crew. This ring has a massM= 2.1×105kg a

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Each thruster has to applied a force of 294.5N in tangential direction

Explanation:

Mass of the ring ,M =2.1×105kg

Mass of the ship ,m = 3.5×104kg

Radius of the ring R = 86.0 m

distance of ship from center of the ring, r =31.0 m

Let force applied by each thruster be F

Time taken to reach gravity ,t = 3hrs = 3600× 3 =10800sec

The movement of ring make the object kept at the edge feel a force of centrifuge in outward direction.

Centrifugal force = weight of the object on earth

Assume the ring is moving with angular speed ω

Centripetalforce of the object kept at ring

m₁R ω²=m₁g (m₁=mas of object)

⇒Rω² = g

⇒ω = √g/R

The ring start from 0 angular speed with constant angular acceleration

Let the constant angular acceleration be ∝

∝ = ω / t

(ω = √g/R)

∝ = $\frac{1}{t } \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} } }$

Consider Torque on the ring and ship system

T = FR + FR = 2FR

Moment of inertia of ring ship system

I = I(ring)+I(ship)+I(ship)

= MR² + mr² + mr² = MR² + 2mr²

angular acceleration of the ring ship system

∝ = $\frac{2FR}{MR^2 + 2mr^2}$

Now we have ,

∝ = $\frac{1}{t} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} }$ , ∝ = $\frac{2FR}{MR^2+2mr^2}$

equating both values

We have,

$F = \frac{MR^2+2mr^2}{2Rt} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} }$

where,

m = 2.1 × 10⁵kg, R = 86m, m = 3.5 × 10₄kg,

r = 31m, g = 9.8m/s² , t = 10800sec

$F = \frac{(2.1 \times 10^5 \times86^2)+(2\times3.5v10^4\times31^2) }{2\times86\times10800} \times\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{86} } \\\\F = 294.47N\\\approx294.5N$

Each thruster has to applied a force of 294.5N in tangential direction

2. a) A disc rotates about its axis at speed 25 revolutions per minute and takes 15 s to stop. Calculate the

ASHA 777 [7]

The statement shows a case of rotational motion, in which the disc <em>decelerates</em> at <em>constant</em> rate.

i) The angular acceleration of the disc ( $\alpha$ ), in revolutions per square second, is found by the following kinematic formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{o}}{t}$ (1)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in revolutions per second.
$\omega_{f}$ - Final angular speed, in revolutions per second.
$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $\omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , $\omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s}$ y $t = 15\,s$ , then the angular acceleration of the disc is:

$\alpha = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-\frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}}{15\,s}$

$\alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

The angular acceleration of the disc is $\frac{1}{36}$ radians per square second.

ii) The number of rotations that the disk makes before it stops ( $\Delta \theta$ ), in revolutions, is determined by the following formula:

$\Delta \theta = \frac{\omega_{f}^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \alpha}$ (2)

If we know that $\omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , $\omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s}$ y $\alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$ , then the number of rotations done by the disc is:

$\Delta \theta = 3.125\,rev$

The disc makes 3.125 revolutions before it stops.

What is the mass amount of a Proton and a Neutron?

zysi [14]

The masses amount of a proton and neutron are 1.0087 and 1.0073 amu respectively.

<h3>What is a Proton?</h3>

This is defined as sub atomic particle which is positively charged and is present in the nucleus while the neutron is also a particle present in the nucleus but has a neutral charge.

Electrons on the other hand are found outside the nucleus and are negatively charged. It is the sub atomic particle which is actively involved in a chemical reaction.

The masses of neutron and proton are 1.0087 and 1.0073 amu respectively and was discovered by scientists thereby making it the most appropriate choice.
