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?

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

A 75.0 kg person is on a Ferris Wheel that has a radius R = 16 m. The tangential velocity of the Ferris Wheel is 8.25 m/s. Calcu
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The period of rotation is

T=8.025s

Explanation:

The person is undergoing simple harmonic motion on the wheel

Given data

mass of the person =75kg

Radius of wheel r=16m

Velocity =8.25m/s

The oscillating period of simple harmonic motion is given as

T=(2*pi)/2=2*pi √r/g

Assuming that g=9.81m/s

Substituting our data into the expression we have

T=2*3.142 √ 16/9.81

T=6.284*1.277

T=8.025s

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

A car traveling at 14 m/s accelerates at 3.5 m/s² for 5 seconds. How much distance does it travel during that time?​
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.
