A space explorer is moving through space far from any planet or star. He notices a large rock, taken as a specimen from an alien

planet, floating around the cabin of the ship. Should he push it gently, or should he kick it toward the storage compartment? Explain.

He should push it gently.
This is because the forces of resistance this situation are minimal, so the rock will not slow as it would on Earth. Kicking the rock may result in it travelling too fast and hitting something else, causing damage. Moreover, the rock could start rebounding off of surfaces and create havoc.

What must the condition of the alveoli be in order for gas exchange to occur
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

There are 5 main conditions of the alveoli for proper gaseous exchange to in the lungs.

Explanation

Alveoli is found in the lungs of mammals, birds and reptiles. It is the part of the lungs where gaseous exchange really occurs.

Alveoli has a shape of that of balloon but indeed smaller than the real balloon. It allows the passage of oxygen and carbon dioxide

The five main conditions includes:

  1. The Alveoli must have large surface to volume ratio which increase the gases that could be exchanged
  2. The wall must be thin. This can shorten diffusion distance.
  3. Alveoli must be very moist so that oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass through the solution
  4. Alveoli must be well supplied with blood
  5. Alveoli must be permeable

If the satellite has a mass of 3900 kg , a radius of 4.3 m , and the rockets each add a mass of 210 kg , what is the required st
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The required steady force of each rocket is 28.79 N

Explanation:

mass of the satellite, M=3900 kg

radius, r=4.3 m

mass of rocket, m=210 kg

time, t=5.4 min

Moment of Inertia:

I = 1/2 (Mr^2) + 4mr^2

I = 1/2 ( 3900* (4.3)^2) + 4 (210)*(4.3)^2

I = 51587.1 kg m^2

the angular acceleration is:

a= w/t

here w= 2*π*30

so,

a= 2*π*30 / 5.4* 3600

a=0.0096 rad/ s^2

the Torque becomes:

T=I*a = 4r*F

( 51587.1 )*(0.0096) = 4*4.3* F

F= 28.79 N

the required steady force of each rocket is 28.79 N
