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

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

What is the difference between arteries and artiole?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The answer is down below

Explanation:

Las arterias transportan la sangre desde el corazón y se ramifican en vasos más pequeños, formando arteriolas. Las arteriolas distribuyen sangre a los lechos capilares, los lugares de intercambio con los tejidos corporales. Los capilares conducen de regreso a pequeños vasos conocidos como vénulas que fluyen hacia las venas más grandes y finalmente regresan al corazón.

A car travels at a constant velocity of 70 mph for one hour. At the second hour, the car’s velocity was 60 mph. At the third hou
katovenus [111]

When the velocity increases, then the acceleration will be positive and when the velocity decrease then the acceleration will be negative.

During the first hour, the velocity was 70 mph and during the seconds hour the velocity was 60 mph. Hence, the velocity decrease in the seconds hour. So, the acceleration will be negative during the second hour.

Now, during the third hour the velocity increases as it is 80 mph. Hence, the acceleration will be positive during the third hour.

A projectile is launched from ground level at angle u and speed v0 into a headwind that causes a constant horizontal acceleratio
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Launch angle =u

Initial Speed is v_0

Horizontal acceleration is a_x=a

At maximum height velocity is zero therefore

v_f=v_i-gt

0=v_0\sin u-gt

t=\frac{v_0\sin u}{g}

Total time of flight T=2t=\frac{2v_0\sin u}{g}

During this time horizontal range is

R=v_o\cos u\cdot 2t-\frac{a(2t)^2}{2}

R=\frac{2v_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g}-\frac{2av_0^2\sin ^u}{g^2}

For maximum range \frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=0

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2\cos 2u}{g}-\frac{4av_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g^2}

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2}{g}\left [ \cos 2u-\frac{a}{g}\sin 2u\right ]=0

\tan 2u=\frac{g}{a}

u=\frac{1}{2}tan ^{-1}\frac{g}{a}

(b)If a =10% g

a=0.1g

thus u=\frac{1}{2}tan^{-1}\frac{g}{0.1g}

u=42.14^{\circ}
