Future space stations will create an artificial gravity by rotating. Consider a cylindrical space station 780 m diameter rotatin

g about its central axis. Astronauts walk on the inside surface of the space station. What rotation period will provide "normal" gravity?

Answer:1.513 rps

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of cylindrical space d=780\ m

When the station rotates it creates centripetal acceleration which is given by

a_c=\omega ^2r

Now it must create the effect of gravity so

g=\omega ^2r

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}

\omega =0.158\ rad/s

and \omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}

Thus N=\frac{4.755}{3.142}

N=1.513\ rps

harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Ff = μmgcosθ

Ff = 0.28(1600)(9.8)cos(-84)

Ff = 458.9217...

Ff = 460 N

b)  ignoring the curves required at top and bottom which change the friction force significantly, especially at the bottom where centripetal acceleration will greatly increase normal forces and thus friction force.

W = Ffd

W = 458.9217(-49.4/sin(-84)

W = 22,795.6119...

W = 23 kJ

c) same assumptions as part b

The change in potential energy minus the work of friction will be kinetic energy.

KE = PE - W

½mv² = mgh - (μmgcosθ)d

v² = 2(gh - (μgcosθ)(h/sinθ))

v = √(2gh(1 - μcotθ))

v = √(2(9.8)(49.4)(1 - 0.28cot84))

v = 30.6552...

v = 31 m/s

A 125kg man buy a 6kg watermelon, a 3kg cantaloupe, and 6kgs of potatoes, he walks home with his purchases in a large bag. His w
Stells [14]

Answer:

350N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the man = 125kg

Mass of the watermelon = 6kg

Mass of cantaloupe  = 3kg

Mass of potatoes  = 6kg

Acceleration  = 2.5m/s²  

Unknown:

Force required to get home  = ?

Solution:

To find this force we use;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

mass  = 125 + 6 + 3 + 6  = 140kg

 So;

      Net force = 140 x 2.5  = 350N

Which process is represented by the PV diagram?
Reika [66]

Hi!


The answer would be A. Isobaric Process


<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Isobaric process is a process where the pressure inside a system remains unchanged. In the Pressure Volume graph given, you can see that the pressure (y axis) remains constant with an increasing volume ( x axis). An example of this would be heating a container with a movable piston. Now, the degree of pressure is dependent on the frequency of collisions of particles inside a system on the walls. If this frequency changes, the pressure changes (proportionally). In our example, heating a container with a movable piston results in the particles inside the container to gain kinetic energy and move faster, meaning an increased frequency of collisions (higher pressure), but at the system time the increase in pressure results in the piston being pushed outwards, causing the volume of the container to increase. This results in decreased frequency of collision of the particles with the walls of the container (lesser pressure). This results in the a zero net effect on the pressure.


Hope this helps!
