A large centrifuge is used to expose aspiring astronauts to accelerations similar to those experienced in rocket launches and at

mospheric reentries. At what angular velocity is the centripetal acceleration 10 g if the rider is 15.0 m from the center of rotation

Answer:

ω = 2.55 rad/sec

Explanation:

Assuming no other external forces acting in the horizontal plane, the only force keeping the  rider in a circular path of a radius equal to his distance to the center of rotation, is the centripetal force.

According to Newton's 2nd law, in the horizontal direction, we have:

F = Fc = m*a = m*ω²*r

We know that a = ac = 10*g = 98.0 m/s², and that r = 15.0 m.

Replacing these values in (1), and solving for ω, we get:

ω = √98.0m/s²/ 15.0 m = 2.55 rad/sec

A glass ball of radius 3.74 cm sits at the bottom of a container of milk that has a density of 1.04 g/cm3. The normal force on t
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The mass of the ball is 0.23 kg

Explanation:

Given that

radius ,r= 3.74 cm

Density of the milk ,ρ = 1.04 g/cm³ = 1.04  x 10⁻³ kg/cm³

Normal force ,N= 9.03 x 10⁻² N

The volume of the ball V

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 3.74^3\ cm^3

V= 219.13 cm³

The bouncy force on the ball = Fb

Fb = ρ V g

Fb  + N = m g

m=Mass of the ball = Density x volume

m = γ V    , γ =Density of the Ball

ρ V g  + N =  γ V g               ( take g= 10 m/s²)

\gamma =\dfrac{N+\rho V g}{V g}

\gamma =\dfrac{9.03\times 10^{-2}+1.04\times 10^{-3}\times 219.13\times  10}{219.13\times 10}

γ = 0.00108 kg/cm³

m = γ V

m = 0.00108 x 219.13

m= 0.23 kg

The mass of the ball is 0.23 kg

5) A person holds a 1.7 kg bucket and lets it move down at
Elena L [17]

Answer:

12.5J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of bucket  = 1.7kg

Height  = 75cm  = 0.75m

Unknown;

Work done on the bucket by the person  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the work done equation;

  Work done  = force x distance  = mgh

 m is the mass  

  g is the acceleration due to gravity

  h is the height

Now, insert parameters and solve ;

     Work done  = 1.7 x 9.8 x 0.75  = 12.5J

The bar graph shows energy data taken from a roller coaster at a theme park. analyze the data and assess its validity. 3-5 sente
hichkok12 [17]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy.

The data shown by the bar graph is "valid".

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system must remain constant at any given point. Hence, the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the roller coaster must be constant at any given time.

Considering the bottom of the first hill:

Total Energy at 1st Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

From the data given in the bar graph:

Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J + 0 J (since at the bottom potential energy is zero due to zero height)

Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J

Now, considering the top of the second hill:

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

From the data given in the bar graph:

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 1,000,000 J + 1,500,000 J

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 2,500,000 J

Hence,

Total Energy at 1st Hill = Total Energy at 2nd Hill

Therefore, the given bar graph is "valid".

Tech A says that a relay is a one-way electrical check valve used in alternators to change AC into DC. Tech B says that a relay
Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is from Tech B.

Explanation:

The relay is an electromagnetic device, which is stimulated by a very weak electrical current to open or close a circuit.  It functions as a switch controlled by an electrical circuit in which, by means of a coil and an electromagnet, a sequence of one or several contactors is activated that allow to open or close other electrical circuits independent of the one that controls it.
