A future use of space stations may be to provide hospitals for severely burned persons. It is very painful for a badly burned pe

rson on Earth to lie in bed. In a space station, the effect of gravity can be reduced or even eliminated. How long should each rotation take for a doughnut-shaped hospital of 200-m radius so that persons on the outer perimeter would experience 1/10 the normal gravity of Earth? A) 91 min B) 8.7 min C) 4.6 min D) 1.5 min E) 0.011 min

Answer:

1.5min

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Period and Centripetal Acceleration.

By definition centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

Where,

V = Tangencial velocity

r = radius

With our values we know that

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

\frac{V^2}{r} = \frac{1}{10}g

Therefore solving to find V, we have:

V = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10}g*r}

V = \sqrt{\frac{9.81*200}{10}}

V = 14m/s

For definition we know that the Time to complete are revolution is given by

t = \frac{Perimeter}{Speed}

t = \frac{2\pi R}{V}

t = \frac{2\pi * 200}{14}

t = 1.5min

If 90 grams of gold has a volume of 5 cm3, calculate the density (include the units and show your work or you get no credit
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The density of gold is of 18 grams per cm3.

Explanation:

The mass density of a homogeneous material expresses how much mass of that material is present in a given volume. Since the density of an object is obtained by dividing its mass by its volume, to obtain the density of gold, its 90 grams of mass must be divided by its 5 cm3 volume, performing the following calculation:

90/5 = X

18 = X

Thus, the density of gold is 18 grams per cm3.

The compressor on an air conditioner draws 66.1 a when it starts up. the start-up time is about 0.388 s. how much charge passes
Ierofanga [76]
The current intensity is defined as the amount of charge flowing through a certain point of a wire divided by the time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where Q is the charge and \Delta t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we have
Q=I \Delta t

for the compressor in our problem, the intensity of current is I=66.1 A, while the time is \Delta t= 0.388 s, so the amount of charge that crosses a certain point of the circuit during this time is
Q=I \Delta t=(66.1 A)(0.388 s)=25.65 C
