An astronaut is being tested in a centrifuge. The centrifuge has a radius R and, in starting, rotates according to θ = tn, where

t is in seconds, θ is in radians, and n is a positive integer. Find expressions for the the magnitudes of the astronaut's (a) angular velocity, (b) linear velocity, (c) tangential acceleration, and (d) radial acceleration at a general time t, in terms of the variables given.

Answer:

a) ω=n

b) V = R*n

c) a = 0

d) ar = R*n^2

Explanation:

Angular velocity is given by the derivative of θ:

ω = n

Linear Velocity will be:

V = ω*R = n*R

Tangential acceleration will be the derivative of the linear velocity. Since velovity is constant:

a = 0

Radial acceleration is given by:

ar = V^2/R = (R*n)^2/R=R*n^2

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (
Anika [276]

Answer:

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Torque, \tau is given by

\tau=Fr where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

R=0.5Lcos\theta where \theta is the angle of inclination

Torque, \tau can also be found by

\tau=Ia where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I} and already I is given as  

I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta hence  

a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}

a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}

Taking g as 9.81, \theta is given as 37 and L is 1.2

a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree
lina2011 [118]
A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
 T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
   = 6.28 × √0.0673
    = 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
 thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b)  The vertical distance, the height is given by
 h= 0.66 cos 12
 h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
 mgh = 1/2mv²
  v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01 
                   = 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
   = 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
   = 0.0304 J

a grape and apple and a watermelon are arranged at the corners of a triangle so that each piece of fruit is three meters away fr
777dan777 [17]
-- There are three pairs of mass with gravitational forces between them.

-- The distances between the masses are the same for each pair.

-- The only other quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational
force is the product of the masses.

-- The product of the masses is greatest for the apple and the watermelon,
so the strength of the gravitational force between them is the greatest.
