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

The gear motor can develop to 1/2 hp when it turns at 300 rev/min. If the shaft has a diameter of 1/2 in. determine the maximum
White raven [17]

Answer:

145.902 psi

Explanation: Given power = 0.5 hp= 225 ft-lb/sec, N= 300 rpm shaft

dia= 0.5 inch

We know that power transmitted by circular shaft is

P=\frac{2piNT}{60}

now putting the values to find torque

⇒T=\frac{60P}{2piN}=\frac{60\times225}{2\times pi\times300}

⇒T=7.16 lb-ft

now to calculate shear stress\tau=\frac{16T}{pi\timesd^{3} }

⇒\tau =\frac{16\times7.16}{pi\times0.5^3}

⇒\tau=145.902 psi

hence maximum shear stress in the shaft is 145.902 psi

Can someone do 2-5 for me please
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

2. momentum(p) = mass*velocity

Force(F)=mass*acceleration

Inertia is the tendecy of an object to resist changes to its state.

4. F= ma

50kg*15m/s2 =750N

5.F=ma

10kg * 3m/s2 =30N

6. P=mv

10kg * 3m/s =30 kg.m/s

I will give brainliest to whoever answers this in less than 10 minutes.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

D) No, because of the way work is defined

Explanation:

There is no motion in the direction of the force, then no work is done by that force. ... But the work done on the box is zero since by moving in a straight line at constant speed, its energy is remaining the same.

Hope it helps

Please mark me as the brainliest

Thank you

Atoms with electronegativity differences below 0.4 generally form covalent<br>bonds. True or False​
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Electronegativity difference of less than 0.4 characterized covalent bonds. For two atoms with an electronegativity difference of between 0.4 and 2.0, a polar covalent bond is formed-one that is neither ionic nor totally covalent.
