A 10,000kg space ship is orbiting the moon with a radius of 25km from the ship to the center of the moon. It's tangential speed

is 125m/s. What is the ships centripetal acceleration?
Is this the correct set-up for this problem.

ac=10,000kg(125m/s)2/25,000m

Answer:

False

Explanation:

ac = v^2/r

acceleration is not dependent on the mass of the orbiting object.

The tape in a videotape cassette has a total
Softa [21]

Answer:

1.37 rad/s

Explanation:

Given:

Total length of the tape is, d= 297 m

Total time of run is, t = 2.1 hours

We know, 1 hour = 3600 s

So, 2.1 hours = 2.1 × 3600 = 7560 s

So, total time of run is, t= 7560 s

Inner radius is, r = 10\ mm = 0.01\ m


Outer radius is, R = 47\ mm = 0.047\ m


Now, linear speed of the tape is, v =\frac{d}{t}=\frac{297}{7560}=0.039\ m/s


Let the same angular speed be \omega.

Now, average radius of the reel is given as the sum of the two radii divided by 2.

So, average radius is, R_{avg}=\frac{R+r}{2}=\frac{0.047+0.01}{2}=\frac{0.057}{2}=0.0285\ m


Now, common angular speed is given as the ratio of linear speed and average radius of the tape. So,

\omega=\dfrac{v}{R_{avg}}\\\\\\\omega=\dfrac{0.039}{0.0285}\\\\\\\omega=1.37\ rad/s


Therefore, the common angular speed of the reels is 1.37 rad/s.

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m
faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>
  • It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.
  • We have the expression for slit width w as,

                           w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

  • Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

                           d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

Why is it incorrect to say that astronauts are weightlesS in space while orbiting Earth in a space shuttle?​
Mamont248 [21]

This is because Gravity exists everywhere in the universe.

<h3>What is Gravity?</h3>

This is the force of attraction which acts on all matters in the universe. Astronauts appear weightless while in orbiting the Earth because the space shuttle and the astronauts are in free fall around it.

They fall at the same rate as the space shuttle which is why the astronauts appear weightless.
