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

Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current
hichkok12 [17]
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

Two service technicians are discussing the best way to thread a rod. Technician A says they should use a tap and die set. Techni
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Both technicians are right, to be able to make a threaded joint you need to use the external thread on one part of the rod using the tap and die set, and on the other side of the rod you need to have an internal thread using the thread repair insert kit

In January 2006, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet comparable in size to the earth orbiting another star and having
Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28  103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

              ρ = m / V

              V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

            V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

             4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

             R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

              M = 5.5 Me

              R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

             ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

             ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

               R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

               R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

               R = 0.528 10⁷ m

               R = 0.528 104 km

               R = 5.28  103 km

Before the experiment, the total momentum of the system is 2.5 kg m/s to the right and the kinetic energy is 5J. After the exper
finlep [7]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.

Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.

As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1} and the kinetic energy is 5~J. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is  2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}, but the kinetic energy is reduced to 4~J. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.

Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
