It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 9 mi long and 5.9 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. Wh

at angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on Earth?

Answer:

\omega = 4.5\times 10^{-2} rad/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Rotating cylinder length = 9 mi

diameter of cylinder is 5.9 mi

we know that linear acceleration is given as

a =  r ω^2

where ω is angular velocity

so\omega = \sqrt{\frac{a}{r}}

r = \frac{5.9}[2} \frac{1609 m}{1 mi} = 4.746\times 10^{3} m

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.80}{4.746\times 10^{3}}}

\omega = 4.5\times 10^{-2} rad/s

How should the student change the circuit to give negative values for current and
natulia [17]

Answer:

changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current

Explanation:

The sign of current and voltage are due to established conventions.

The way that a DC circuit with negative current values ​​is by changing the polarity of the power source or by inverting the battery, this creates that the electrons move in the opposite direction

Changing the battery also changes the direction of the power difference, since the potential from positive to negative, in most cases negative is assigned a potential of zero volts

In summary, changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current
