Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A) if each astronaut breathes about 500 cm³, the total volume of air breathed in a year is 14716.8m³.

B) The Diameter of this spherical space station should be 30.4m

Explanation:

The breathing frequency (according to Rochester encyclopedia) is about 12-16 breath per minute. if we take the mean value (14 breath per minute), we can estimate the total breaths of a person along a year:

f_b=14\frac{br}{min} \cdot \frac{60min}{1hr} \frac{24hr}{1day}\frac{365day}{1year}=29433600\frac{br}{year}

If we multiply this for the number of people in the station and the volume each breath needs, we obtain the volume breathed in a year.

The volume of a sphere is:

V_{sph}=\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3

So the diameter is:

D=2r=2\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V_{sph}}{4\pi}} =30.4m

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Explanation:

This method is called  finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Cepheid variable is actually a type of star that has a radial pulsation having a varying brightness and diameter. This change in brightness is very well defined having a period and amplitude.

A potent clear link between the luminosity and pulsation period of a Cepheid variable developed Cepheids as an important determinants of cosmic criteria for scaling galactic and extra galactic distances. Henrietta Swan Leavitt revealed this robust feature of conventional Cepheid in 1908 after observing thousands of variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds. This in fact turn, by making comparisons its established luminosity to its measured brightness, allows one to evaluate the distance to the star.

An astronaut having mass 320 kg with equipment included is attempting an untethered space walk. The astronaut is initially at re
ExtremeBDS [4]
This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut

How does a compound differ from a mixture?
Mashcka [7]
A compound is the substances that are formed by combining two are more chemical elements. A mixture is a substance created from two or more matter that can be separate with the help of physical methods. ... Mainly pure water is part of the compound. Mixtures fall under impure water.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
