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.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The location ӯ of the center of mass G of the pendulum is given as:

y=\frac{0+(\pi*(0.3\ m) ^2*12kg/m^2*1.8\ m-\pi*(0.1\ m) ^2*12kg/m^2*1.8\ m)+0.75\ m*1.5\ m *3\ kg/m}{(\pi*(0.3\ m) ^2*12kg/m^2-\pi*(0.1\ m) ^2*12kg/m^2)+3\ kg/m^2*0.8\ m+3\ kg/m^2*1.5\ m} \\\\y=0.88\ m

b)  the mass moment of inertia about z axis passing the rotation center O is:

I_G=\frac{1}{12}*3(0.8)(0.8)^2+ 3(0.8)(0.888)^2-\frac{1}{2}*(12)(\pi)(0.1)^2(0.1)^2 -(12)(\pi)(0.1)^2(1.8-\\0.888)^2+\frac{1}{2}*(12)(\pi)(0.3)^2(0.3)^2 +(12)(\pi)(0.3)^2(1.8-0.888)^2+\frac{1}{12}*3(1.5)(1.5)^2+\\3(1.5)(0.888-0.75)^2\\\\I_G=13.4\ kgm^2

c) The mass moment of inertia about z axis passing the rotation center O is:

I_o=\frac{1}{12}*3(0.8)(0.8)^2+ \frac{1}{3}* 3(1.5)(1.5)^2+\frac{1}{2}*(12)(\pi)(0.3)^2(0.3)^2 +(12)(\pi)(0.3)^2(1.8)^2-\\\frac{1}{2}*(12)(\pi)(0.1)^2(0.1)^2 -(12)(\pi)(0.1)^2(1.8)^2\\\\I_o=13.4\ kgm^2

What do you mean by kintic theory of matter​
Zanzabum

Answer:

The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that matter is composed of a large number of small particles—individual atoms or molecules—that are in constant motion. This theory is also called the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Matter and the Kinetic Theory of Gases.

Explanation:

The theory is practically stating all matter is pretty much filled with kinetic energy and kinetic as you learn in 6th grade, means to be in motion. So its just saying that all matter is non-stop moving.

A 7.00-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wi
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(a) 1.075 N

(b) 4.254 T

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Power = Force×Velocity.

P = Fv................... Equation 1

Where P = Power dissipated in the circuit, F = Pulling force of the wire, v = speed of the wire.

make F the subject of the equation

F = P/v................. Equation 2

Given: P = 4.30 W, v = 4.0 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

F = 4.30/4

F = 1.075 N.

(b)

Applying,

F = BILsinФ.............. Equation 2

Where B = Strength of the magnetic field, I = current in the wire, L = Length of the wire, Ф = angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsinФ................... Equation 3

But,

P = I²R...................... Equation 4

Where R = resistance of the wire.

make I the subject of the equation

I = √(P/R)............... Equation 5

Given: P = 4.30 W, R = 0.330 Ω

Substitute into equation 5

I = √(4.3/0.33)

I = √13.03

I = 3.61 A.

Also given: L = 7 cm = 0.07 m, Ф = 90°

Substitute into equation 3

B = 1.075/(0.07×3.61×sin90)

B = 1.075/0.2527

B = 4.254 T.
