Answer:

A) if each astronaut breathes about 500 cm³, the total volume of air breathed in a year is 14716.8m³.

B) The Diameter of this spherical space station should be 30.4m

Explanation:

The breathing frequency (according to Rochester encyclopedia) is about 12-16 breath per minute. if we take the mean value (14 breath per minute), we can estimate the total breaths of a person along a year:

f_b=14\frac{br}{min} \cdot \frac{60min}{1hr} \frac{24hr}{1day}\frac{365day}{1year}=29433600\frac{br}{year}

If we multiply this for the number of people in the station and the volume each breath needs, we obtain the volume breathed in a year.

The volume of a sphere is:

V_{sph}=\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3

So the diameter is:

D=2r=2\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V_{sph}}{4\pi}} =30.4m

A girl throws a stone from a bridge. Consider the following ways she might throw the stone. The speed of the stone as it leaves
Len [333]

Answer:

the velocity in all the cases will be same.

Explanation:

given,

girl throws a stone from the bridge

air is friction less

we have to find from the given cases in which case the velocity of stone will be greatest.

According to Work energy theorem work done by the sum of all the force is equal to kinetic energy.

As the air is frictionless hence the speed depend upon the height from which the stone is thrown.

height in all the cases is same.

so, the velocity in all the cases will be same.
