The question is asking for "time".

Even if you didn't know anything about waves, you could look down this list and see that 'peak', 'amplitude', and 'frequency' are not times, so none of those can be the answer to the question. It must be <em>"period"</em>.

This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.

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

Levart [38]

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.

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s$

(a) the force constant of the spring

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m$

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

$A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m$
