a) 0.0028 rad/s

b) 23.68 m/s^2

c) 0 m/s^2

Explanation:

a)

When an object is in circular motion, the angular speed of the object is the rate of change of its angular position. In formula, it is given by

\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}

where

\theta is the angular displacement

t is the time interval

The angular speed of an object in circular motion can also be written as

\omega = \frac{v}{r} (1)

where

v is the linear speed of the object

r is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in this problem we have:

v=29,960 km/h is the linear speed, converted into m/s,

v=8322 m/s

r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m is the radius of the orbit

Subsituting into eq(1), we find the angular speed of the spaceship:

\omega=\frac{8322}{2.925\cdot 10^6}=0.0028 rad/s

b)

When an object is in circular motion, its direction is constantly changing, therefore the object is accelerating; in particular, there is a component of the acceleration acting towards the  centre of the orbit: this is called centripetal acceleration, or radial acceleration.

The magnitude of the radial acceleration is given by

a_r=\omega^2 r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in the problem, we have

\omega=0.0028 rad/s is the angular speed

r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m is the radius of the orbit

Substittuing into the equation above, we find the radial acceleration:

a_r=(0.0028)^2(2.925\cdot 10^6)=23.68 m/s^2

c)

When an object is in circular motion, it can also have a component of the acceleration in the direction tangential to its motion: this component is called tangential acceleration.

The tangential acceleration is given by

a_t=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in the linear speed

\Delta  t is the time interval

In this problem, the spaceship is moving with constant linear speed equal to

v=8322 m/s

Therefore, its linear speed is not changing, so the change in linear speed is zero:

\Delta v=0

And therefore, the tangential acceleration is zero as well:

a_t=\frac{0}{\Delta t}=0 m/s^2

If we were to illuminate them only with light from the Balmer transition considered above, would the solar panels produce a curr
Ugo [173]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The reason why no current is produced are basically that, the wavelengths of light in the Balmer transition are reflected, not absorbed in solar panels, hence no current is produced.

The Balmer series consists of lines in the visible spectrum. It corresponds to emission of a photon of light when electrons descend from higher energy levels to the n=2 level in the hydrogen spectrum. The various wavelengths in the Balmer series can be separated by a prism since they are all in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In solar panels, light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series is merely reflected by the panel and not absorbed. Since light is not absorbed, no current can be produced when the panel is irradiated with light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series.

What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph?
hammer [34]

The answer to the question<u> What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph</u> is A. Linear

Since Force, F = ma where m = mass and a = acceleration. For constant mass, F ∝ a. That is, F is directly proportional to acceleration, a.

Since this is a linear relationship, the graph of force vs acceleration will be linear.

The answer to the question<u> What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph</u> is A. Linear
