A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity" - a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)$

Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:

$v=\omega r(2)$

Here $\omega$ is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):

$a_c=\frac{(\omega r)^2}{r}\\\\a_c=\omega^2r$

Recall that $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{200m}{2}=100m$ .

Solving for $\omega$ :

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_c}{r}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{100m}}\\\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$

A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =

jarptica [38.1K]

   Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.

KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

   = (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

   = (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)

   = 128,978 joules (rounded)

If you exert a force of 100.0 N to lift a box a distance of 0.5 m, how much work do you do? 200 J 400 J 50 J 26 J

jeyben [28]

Work = force x distance
= 100N (force) x 0.5m (distance)
= 50J
