Astronauts often undergo special training in which they are subjected to extremely high centripetal accelerations. One device ha

s a radius of 15 m and can accelerate a person at 98 m/s2. What is the speed of the astronaut in this device?

Answer: The speed of the astronaut in this device 38.34 m/s.

Explanation:

Radius of the device ,r = 15 m

Acceleration of the device = $=a_c=98m/s^2$

Velocity of the astronaut in a device ,v = ?

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$v^2=98 m/s^2\times 15 m$

$v=38.34 m/s$

Hence,the speed of the astronaut in this device 38.34 m/s.

The centripetal acceleration of an object is given by the relation,

$Ac =V^2/R$

where Ac = centripetal acceleration = $98 m/s^2$

R = radius of rotation = 15 m

V = speed of astronaut

Hence, $\frac{V^2}{15} =98$

solving this we get, V = 38.34 m/s

A motor keep a Ferris wheel (with moment of inertia 6.97 × 107 kg · m2 ) rotating at 8.5 rev/hr. When the motor is turned off, t

Talja [164]

Answer:

$P = 133.13 Watt$

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of the ferris wheel is given as

$\omega_i = 2\pi f$

$\omega_i = 2\pi(8.5/3600)$

$\omega_i = 0.015 rad/s$

final angular speed after friction is given as

$\omega_f = 2\pi f$

$\omega_f = 2\pi(7.5/3600)$

$\omega_f = 0.013 rad/s$

now angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha = \frac{0.015 - 0.013}{15}$

$\alpha = 1.27 \times 10^{-4} rad/s^2$

now torque due to friction on the wheel is given as

$\tau = I \alpha$

$\tau = (6.97 \times 10^7)(1.27 \times 10^{-4})$

$\tau = 8875.3 N m$

Now the power required to rotate it with initial given speed is

$P = \tau \omega$

$P = 8875.3 \times 0.015$

$P = 133.13 Watt$

olga55 [171]

The scientist is likely to be studying kinematics.
Kinematics is the branch of science, specifically physics, which is concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that induce this motion. An example of kinematics is studying the change in velocity of an object over time or the distance covered by an object in a specified amount of time.
