Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of circular path, r = 5 m

Centripetal acceleration, a=7g\ m/s^2

(a) Let v is the astronaut’s speed. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{ar}

v=\sqrt{7\times 9.8\times 5}

v = 18.5 m/s

(b) Let T denotes the time period. It is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

T=\dfrac{2\pi \times 5}{18.5}

T = 1.69 s

Let N is the number of revolutions. So,

N=\dfrac{60}{1.69}=35.5\ rev/min

So, the number of revolutions per minute is 35.5

(c) T = 1.69 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

Energy is to be stored in a flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with a radius of R = 1.22 m and a mass of 67.0 kg . To
eduard

Answer: 71.7 KJ

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy of a rotating body can be written as follows:

Krot = ½ I ω2

Now, any point on the rim of the flywheel, is acted by a centripetal force, according to Newton’s 2nd Law, as follows:

Fc = m. ac

It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration, is related with the angular velocity and the radius, as follows:

ac =  ω2 r

We know that this acceleration has a limit value, so , we can take this limit to obtain a maximum value for the angular velocity also.

As the flywheel is a solid disk, the rotational inertia I is just ½ m r2.

Replacing in the expression for the Krot, we have:

Krot= ½ (1/2 mr2.ac/r) = ¼ mr ac = ¼ 67.0 Kg. 1.22 m . 3,510 m/s2 = 71. 7 KJ

A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 0.442-kg block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the
siniylev [52]

Answer:

K=58.8N/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass M=0.442

Drop distance d=0.150

Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by

 K=\frac{2mg}{x}

 K=\frac{2*0.442*9.8}{1.150}

 K=58.8N/m

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.

Answer:

Polarization occurs when an electric field distorts the negative cloud of electrons around positive atomic nuclei in a direction opposite the field. Polarization P in its quantitative meaning is the amount of dipole moment p per unit volume V of a polarized material, P = p/V.
