In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates i

n a horizontal circle. A trainee riding in the chamber of a centrifuge rotating with a constant angular speed of 1.7 rad/s experiences a centripetal acceleration of 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity. In a second training exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from rest with a constant angular acceleration. When the centrifuge reaches an angular speed of 1.7 rad/s, the trainee experiences a total acceleration equal to 4.4 times the acceleration due to gravity.
(a) How long is the arm of the centrifuge?

(b) What is the angular acceleration in the second training exercise?

a) The length of the arm of the centrifuge is 10.9 m

b) The angular acceleration is 2.7 rad/s^2

Explanation:

a)

In a uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\omega^2 r

where:

\omega is the angular speed of the circular motion

r is the radius of the circle

For the centrifuge in this problem, we have:

\omega=1.7 rad/s is the angular speed

The centripetal acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity (g=9.8 m/s^2), so:

a_c=3.2 g = 3.2(9.8)=31.4 m/s^2

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find r, the radius of the circle (which corresponds to the length of the arm of the centrifuge):

r=\frac{a_c}{\omega^2}=\frac{31.4}{1.7^2}=10.9 m

b)

In the second part of the exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from an initial angular speed of 0 to a final angular speed of 1.7 rad/s. The total acceleration experienced at the final moment is

a=4.4 g

So, 4.4 times the acceleration due to gravity.

The total acceleration is the resultant of the centripetal acceleration (a_c) and the tangential acceleration (a_t):

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}

We know that:

a = 4.4g

a_c = 3.2 g

So, we can find the tangential acceleration:

a_t = \sqrt{a^2-a_c^2}=\sqrt{(4.4g)^2-(3.2g)^2}=29.6 m/s^2

The angular acceleration is related to the tangential acceleration by

\alpha = \frac{a_t}{r}

where r = 10.9 m is the length of the centrifuge. Substituting,

\alpha = \frac{29.6}{10.9}=2.7 rad/s^2

The 94-lb force P is applied to the 220-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d
Makovka662 [10]

Answer

given,

force = 94 lb

weight of crate = 220 lb

Assuming the static friction be equal = 0.47

                       kinetic friction = 0.36

Maximum force applied to move the object is when object is just start to move.

F = μ N

F = 0.47 x 220

F = 103.4 lb

As the frictional force is more than applied then the object will not move.

so, the friction force will be equal to the force applied on the object that is equal to 94 lb.

hence, the direction of force will left.

How large amount of energy is produced during the fission of uranium ​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

answer is a very large amount of energy is produced from a very small mass

Explanation:

nuclear energy is produced either by fusion or fission the former is fusion of lighter atoms into heavier elements while the letter is the splitting of a heavier atom into lighter atoms. both produce tremendous amount of energy fusion causes compassion of mass wild fission reduces it. and produce it. fusion does not produce radioactive particles while fission does (alpha and beta particles and neutrons)

Help pleasee
agasfer [191]

Answer:

i/f = i/o + i/i       f = focal, o = object, i = image

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o  =    (o - f) / o f

i = o * f / ( o - f)      image distance

i = 12.5 * 22 / (12.5 - 22) = -28.9 cm

Image is real

Image is 28.9 cm to left of lens

M = - i / o = = 28.9 / 12.5 = 2.3     magnification (convex lens)

In a two-slit experiment using coherent light, the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.10 m, and the distance between
Paul [167]

Answer:

D) 763 nm

Explanation:

Calculation for the wavelength of light

Using this formula

Wavelength of light=Delta Y*Distance / Length

Where,

Delta Y represent the 2nd order bright fringe

Length represent the distance between both the slits and the screen

Distance represent the Distance between the slits

Let note that cm to m = (4.2) x 10^-2 and mm to m= ( 0.0400x 10^-3)

Now Let plug in the formula

Wavelength of light=[(4.2 x 10^-2m)(0.0400 x 10^-3m) / 2(1.1m)]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light=[(0.042m) (0.0004m)/2.2m]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =(0.0000168m/2.2m)*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =7.63 *10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =763 nm

Therefore the Wavelength of light will be 763 nm
