A 70.0 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 15.0 m

) and spun at a constant angular velocity of 13.2 rpm. Answer the following, show all work:a) What is the angular velocity of the centrifuge in rad/s?b) What is the linear velocity of the astronaut at the outer edge of the centrifuge?c) What is the centripetal acceleration of the astronaut at the end of the centrifuge?d) How many g’s does the astronaut experience?e) What is the centripetal force experienced by the astronaut? Give magnitude and direction.F) Explain how and when the astronaut would experience a torque in this situation.

Answer:

1.3823 rad/s

20.7345 m/s

28.66129935 m/s²

a=2.92164g

2006.29095 N radially outward

Explanation:

r = Radius = 15 m

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Angular velocity is given by

\omega=13.2\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1.3823\ rad/s

Angular velocity is 1.3823 rad/s

Linear velocity is given by

v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=15\times 1.3823\\\Rightarrow v=20.7345\ m/s

The linear velocity is 20.7345 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=r\omega^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=15\times 1.3823^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=28.66129935\ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration is 28.66129935 m/s²

Acceleration in terms of g

\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{28.66129935}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=2.92164g

a=2.92164g

Centripetal force is given by

F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=70\times 28.66129935\\\Rightarrow F_c=2006.29095\ N

The centripetal force is 2006.29095 N radially outward

The torque will be experienced when the centrifuge is speeding up of slowing down i.e., when it is accelerating and decelerating.

All biomes don’t have the same level of biodiversity. What seems to be the optimal conditions for high biodiversity?
irinina [24]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The optimal conditions for high biodiversity seem to be a <u>warm temperature</u> and <u>wet climates</u>.

<em>The tropical areas of the world have the highest biodiversity and are characterized by an average annual temperature of above 18 </em>^oC<em> and annual precipitation of 262 cm. The areas are referred to as the world's biodiversity hotspots. </em>

Consequently, it follows logically that the optimal conditions for high biodiversity would be a warm temperature of above 18 ^oC and wet environment with annual precipitation of not less than 262 cm.

The variation in temperature and precipitation across biomes can thus be said to be responsible for the variation in the level of biodiversity in them.

Set the radius to 2.0 m and the velocity to 1.0 m/s. Keeping the radius the same, record the magnitude of centripetal accelerati
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a=4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius, r = 2 m

Velocity, v = 1 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2}{1}\\\\=4\ m/s^2

So, the magnitude of centripetal acceleration is 4\ m/s^2.

If the net torque is zero, what does this imply about the clockwise and counterclockwise torques.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two forces acting on a line of action and they are equal in magnitude but opposite it direction, it forms a couple.

Torque is defined as the product of either force and the perpendicular distance between the two forces.

It is a vector quantity.

The net torque is zero, it means the anticlockwise torque is equal to the clockwise torque.

It means they balances each other.
