The space station in the drawing is rotating to create artificial gravity. The speed of the inner ring is one half that of the o

uter ring. As an astronaut walks from the inner to the outer ring, what happens to her apparent weight

Answer:

It will double.

Explanation:

Apparent weight is the weight of a physical body affected by a force of gravity different of that of the athmosphere.  Thus, the lower the gravity, that is, the lower the attraction of one body to another, the lower the apparent weight of the object on which the gravitational force is exerted; while the opposite occurs if the gravitational force is greater. In other words, the apparent weight of an object is determined by the gravitational force exerted on it: the greater the force, the greater the weight. Therefore, as the outer ring has twice the force of gravity than the inner ring, the apparent weight of the astronaut will double as well.

A drag racer starts from rest and accelerates at 7.4 m/s2. How far will he travel in 2.0 seconds?
Leto [7]

Using the kinematic equation below we can determine the distance traveled if t=2, a=7.4m/s^2.  First we must determine the final velocity:

v_{final}=v_{initial}+\frac{1}{2}at\\\\v_{final}=0+(7.4m/s^2)(2s)=34.8m/s

Now we will determine the distance traveled:

v_{final}^2=v_{initial}^2+2a \Delta x\\\\\Delta x = \frac{v_{final}^2}{2a} =\frac{(34.8)^2}{(2)(7.4)}=81.83 m

Therefore, the drag racer traveled 81.83 meters in 2 seconds.

A hydrometer is made of a tube of diameter 2.3cm.The mass of the tube and it's content is 80g. If it floats in a liquid density
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The depth to which the hydrometer sinks is approximately 24.07 cm

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The diameter of the hydrometer tube, d = 2.3 cm

The mass of the content of the tube, m = 80 g

The density of the liquid in which the tube floats, ρ = 800 kg/m³

By Archimedes' principle, the up thrust (buoyancy) force acting on the hydrometer = The weight of the displaced liquid

When the hydrometer floats, the up-thrust is equal to the weight of the hydrometer which by Archimedes' principle, is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid displaced by the hydrometer

Therefore;

The weight of the liquid displaced = The weight of the hydrometer, W = m·g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

∴ W = 80 g × g

The volume of the liquid that has a mass of 80 g (0.08 kg), V = m/ρ

V = 0.08 kg/(800 kg/m³) = 0.0001 m³ = 0.0001 m³ × 1 × 10⁶ cm³/m³ = 100 cm³

The volume of the liquid displaced = 100 cm³ = The volume of the hydrometer submerged, V_h

V_h = A × h

Where;

A = The cross-sectional area of the tube = π·d²/4

h = The depth to which the hydrometer sinks

h = V_h/A

∴ h = 100 cm³/( π × 2.3²/4 cm²) ≈ 24.07 cm

The depth to which the tube sinks, h ≈ 24.07 cm.
