A proposed space station consists of a circular tube that will rotate about its center (like a tubular bicycle tire), Fig. 5–39.

The circle formed by the tube has a diameter of 1.1 km. What must be the rotation speed (revolutions per day) if an effect nearly equal to gravity at the surface of the Earth (say, 0.90 g) is to be felt?

Answer:

1742.24106 revolutions per day

Explanation:

v = Velocity

d = Diameter = 1.1 km

r = Radius = \dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{1.1}{2}=0.55\ km

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

g = 0.9 g

The centrifugal force will balance the gravitational force

F_c=mg\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{mv^2}{r}=m0.9g\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.9gmr}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.9gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.9\times 9.81\times 0.55\times 10^3}\\\Rightarrow v=69.68464\ m/s

\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{v}{2\pi r}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{69.68464}{2\pi 0.55\times 10^3}\times 24\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{T}=1742.24106\ rev/day

The rotation speed is 1742.24106 revolutions per day

Answer:

1728 rev/sec

Explanation:

The expression for the gravitational force is given by

F_g=mg_1

g_1=0.9g (Given)

therefore,

F_g=0.9mg

The centripetal force balances this gravitational force to keep the space station in equilibrium.

Hence we can write

\frac{mv^2}{r} =0.9mg

Rearrange the above equation in terms of velocity

v=\sqrt{\frac{0.9mgr}{m} }

⇒v=\sqrt{0.9gr}

putting the values we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{0.9(9.81)(1100)}{2} }

v=69.65 m/sec

the rotational speed can be calculated as or frequency of rotation

f= \frac{v}{2\pi r}

putting values we get

f= \frac{69.65}{2\pi 5500}

f= 0.02 rev/sec

meaning 0.02 rev per second

therefore no. or revolution per day

= 0.02×24×3600= 1728 rev/sec

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C.  changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion)  creating chain reactions of radiant energy.  Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb.  Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions.  The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.

A proton moving at 8.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.72 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
gladu [14]

Answer:

19.1 deg

Explanation:

v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T

q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N

θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field

magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ

Sinθ = 0.327

θ = 19.1 deg

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.4 m, depth of 3.5 m, and current speed of 2.2 m/s. The other stre
hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem on the basis of pinciple that water is incompressible so volume of flow will be equal at every point .

rate of volume flow of one stream

= cross sectional area x velocity

= 8.4 x 3.5 x 2.2 = 64.68 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of other stream

= 6.6 x 3.6 x 2.7

= 64.15 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of rive , if d be its depth

= 11.2 x d x 2.8

= 31.36 d

volume flow of river = Total of volume flow rate of two streams

31.36 d  = 64.15 + 64.68

31.36 d  = 128.83

d = 4.10 m /s .
