It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 10 mi long and 5.9 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. T

he acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on

Answer:

ω = 0.05 rad/s

Explanation:

We consider the centripetal force acting as the weight force on the surface of the cylinder. Therefore,

Centripetal Force = Weight\\\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = mg\\\\here,\\v = linear\ speed = r\omega \\therefore,\\\frac{(r\omega)^{2}}{r} = g\\\\\omega^{2} = \frac{g}{r}\\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}\\

where,

ω = angular velocity of cylinder = ?

g = required acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of cylinder = diameter/2 = 5.9 mi/2 = 2.95 mi = 4023.36 m

Therefore,

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.8\ m/s^{2}}{4023.36\ m}}\\\\

<u>ω = 0.05 rad/s</u>

If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same, it means
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is describe as

velocity =Frequency × Wavelength

Mathematically

v = fλ

Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ

Wavelength λ = v/f

So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.

And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.

Please help I have marked the circles with numbers which one is it anybody knows?
Virty [35]

Answer:

hi sandra!!

Explanation:

the number 3 is the correct!!

The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.

Auroras that occur in the northern hemisphere are called ‘Aurora Borealis’ or ‘northern lights’ and auroras that occur in the southern hemisphere are called ‘Aurora Australis’ or ‘southern lights’.

Auroral displays can appear in many differents colours, but green is the most common. Colours such as red, yellow, green, blue and violet are also seen occasionally. The auroras can appear in many forms, from small patches of light that appear out of nowhere to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an incredible glow.

A plane is flying east at 115 m/s. The wind accelerates it at 2.88 m/s^2 directly northwest. After 25.0s, what is the magnitude
kondaur [170]

Answer:

81.8 m/s

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the plane is:

v_0=115 m/s (toward east)

So, decomposing along the x- and y- directions:

v_{x0} = 115 m/s\\v_{y0} = 0

(we took east as positive x-direction and north as positive y-direction)

The acceleration is

a=2.88 m/s^2 (northwest, so the angle with the positive x-direction is 135 degrees)

Decomposing it along the two directions:

a_x = a cos 135^{\circ} = (2.88 m/s^2)(cos 135^{\circ})=-2.04 m/s^2\\a_y = a sin 135^{\circ} = (2.88 m/s^2)(sin 135^{\circ})=2.04 m/s^2

So the two components of the velocity after a time t = 25.0 s will be

v_x = v_{x0} + a_x t = 115 m/s + (-2.04 m/s^2)(25.0 s)=64 m/s\\v_y = v_{y0} + a_y t = 0 m/s + (2.04 m/s^2)(25.0 s)=51 m/s

So, the magnitude of the velocity of the plane will be

v=\sqrt[v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(64 m/s)^2+(51 m/s)^2}=81.8 m/s

Describe how the motion of a planet (like Mars) among the stars of the zodiac on the sky is qualitatively different from the mot
Advocard [28]

Explanation:

In the plane of the Solar System, called Ecliptic plane, Sun is at the center and all the planets including Earth are going around the Sun in their respective orbits. As seen form the Earth, Sun appear to go around it and in this process it  crosses through 12 constellations. These constellations are called as Zodiacs. Now since all the planets move in almost the same plane, they will appear in the sky to be lying near the ecliptic.

Sun's own motion is not that evident to us because of which the impact of that motion is nullified. But, motion of planet is clearly visible and it also shows in their annual round around the Sun. Here, Mars also shows retrograde motion which means it will show a back and forth motion in the sky. Because of which Mars might be visible in the same zodiac for a longer Duration as compared to the Sun.
