It is the 'crest' part that the green arrow is identifying.
You need to know the time as well.
This question is not complete.
The complete question is as follows:
One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates “artificial gravity” at the outside rim of the station. (a) If the diameter of the space station is 800 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 9.80m/s2?
Explanation:
a. Using the expression;
T = 2π√R/g
where R = radius of the space = diameter/2
R = 800/2 = 400m
g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2
1/T = number of revolutions per second
T = 2π√R/g
T = 2 x 3.14 x √400/9.8
T = 6.28 x 6.39 = 40.13
1/T = 1/40.13 = 0.025 x 60 = 1.5 revolution/minute
Gravitational potential energy = mgh or mass times acceleration due to gravity times the height
Here the mass is 0.25kg, the height is 10m, and gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so...
GPE = (0.25)(10)(9.8)
GPE = 24.5 J
Explanation:
it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.
When an object is moving with constant velocity, it does not change direction nor speed and therefore is represented as a straight line when graphed as distance over time.
