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.

What happens to ar object in free fall?​
Inessa05 [86]
Energy from the gravitational potential store in converted to kinetic energy. Air friction acts against the object, dissipating some energy as heat or sound. The object will continuously accelerate until the acceleration is equal to the air friction acting against it. This is when it reaches terminal velocity

7. A neutral aluminum rod is at rest on a foam insulating base. A negatively charged balloon is brought near one end of the rod
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

If a negatively charged balloon is brought near one end of the rod but not in direct contact, then <u>the negative charges on the balloon repel the same amount of negative charges on the end of the rod that is close to the balloon</u>, and the positive charges stay at the balloon-side of the rod. The total charge of the rod is still zero, but the distribution of the charges are now non-uniform.
