It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 12.5 mi long and 6.25 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies

. What angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on Earth?

Answer:

w = 0.0436 rad/s

Explanation:

Radius of the cylinder is

3.125 * 1609m/mile = 5028 m

Using the angular acceleration formula, we have

a = v²/r = w²r.

Since we're interested in the angular speed, we make w the subject of the formula, so that

w² = a/r

w = √a/r

w = √(9.8/5028)

W = √0.0019049

w = 0.0436 rad/s

Then we can conclude that the angular speed of the rotation is w = 0.0436 rad/s

2. The car slows down from 36 m/s to 15 m/s over a 3.0 second time interval. What is its average acceleration?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

9 meter per second square

Explanation:

acceleration equation is final minus initial velocity divided by time in seconds.

36-15/3=9 meter per second square.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between the initial and final point of motion.

Here, Suzie first walks 3 blocks north. From there she walks 4 blocks east. Then 2 blocks to the east then 2 blocks north and then 2 blocks east. She covered 4 blocks east toward west. This is the same distance she covered traveling east. But she is 2 blocks north. From there she traveled a block south to the pizzeria and another block to her friends house. She covered the two block she had traveled north.

Hence, Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started.
