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:

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

Hello! mark me brainliest please

The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. Velocity is a vector quantity, and average velocity can be defined as the displacement divided by the time.

An engineering firm is designing a ski lift. The wire rope needs to travel with a linear velocity of 2.0 meters per second, and

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The diameter of the bull-wheel is 3.82

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 2.0 m/s

Angular velocity = 10 rev/m

$\omega=10\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega=1.0472\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the diameter of bull-wheel

Using formula of angular velocity

$v= r\omega$

$r=\dfrac{v}{\omega}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\dfrac{2.0}{1.0472}$

$r=1.91\ m$

The diameter of the bull-wheel

$D=2r$

$D=2\times1.91$

$D=3.82\ m$

Hence, The diameter of the bull-wheel is 3.82 m.

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers $d=1.6\ m$

Distance of person from one speaker $x_1=3\ m$

Distance of person from second speaker $x_2=3.5\ m$

Path difference between the waves is given by

$x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}$

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

$x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$\lambda =0.5\times 2$

$\lambda =1\ m$

frequency is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda }$

where $v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)$

$f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz$

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. $m=1$ and $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m$

frequency corresponding to this is

$f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz$

for $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m$

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

$f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}$

$f_3=1715\ Hz$

Why is the sky blue?

Levart [38]

Answer:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
