Future space stations could create an artificial gravity by rotating. Consider a cylindrical space station that rotates with a p

eriod of 28 seconds about its axis. Astronauts walk on the inside surface of the space station, and they experience an Earth-like gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. What is the diameter of the space station?
510m
145m
660m
390m​

Answer:

P = 2 pi R / v    period of space station

F / m = v^2 / R    centripetal force per unit of mass

So F / m = 4 pi^2 R^2 / (P^2 * R) = 4 pi^2 R / P^2

Also, F / m = 9.8 m/s^2   earth's gravitational attraction

So 9.8 = 4 pi^2 R / P^2    or    R = 9.8 P^2 / 4 * pi^2) = 195 m

Or D = 2 R = 390 m the diameter required

The mass of an atom is ________________________.
alexandr402 [8]
The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.

For a given wave if the frequency doubles the wave length?
pav-90 [236]
For a given wave in a given medium, if the frequency doubles,
the wavelength becomes 50% shorter.

That is, it becomes half as long as it was originally.
