Hello here is your answer and also please mark me as brainlest

Since one revolution around a circle is 2 pi radian; hence 1 rpm equals 2 pi radians per minute. And because a minute has 60 seconds, 1 rpm equals 1/60 revolution per second. Therefore, we have 2 pie/60 * 15.3 = 0.2513 rps. The linear velocity v = wr where w is the angular velocity in rad/s and r is the distance. So we have 0.2513 * 10.0 = 2.513 rad/s The centripetal acceleration is given by a = w^2 r = (2.513)^2 * 10 = 63.15 rad/s2 The centripetal force F = mass * centripetal acc = 75 * 63.15 = 4736.25 N The torque = centripetal force * distance = 4736 * 63.15 = 299078.4 Nm Two forces acts on the astronaut. The normal force and acceleration due to gravity.

I hope this help you

9<br>How can you prove that air has weight​
Art [367]

Answer:

Air does, in fact, have weight, and here's a simple way you can prove it. You'll need two identical balloons, a string, and a dowel. Attach the uninflated balloons to either end of the dowel. Attach the string to the center of the dowel and then hang it from something.

Two mirrors are at right angles to one another. A light ray is incident on the first at an angle of 30° with respect to the norm
marta [7]

Answer:

reflected angle - secod mirror = 60°

Explanation:

I attached an image with the solution to this problem below.

In the solution the reflection law, incident angle = reflected angle, is used. Furthermore some trigonometric relation is used.

You can notice in the image that the angle of reflection in the second mirror is 60°

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The terminal velocity of the diver is 115 m/s = 414 km/hr

Explanation:

At terminal velocity,

Fnet = mg - Fd = 0

Drag force, Fd = cρAv²/2

mg = cρAv²/2

Terminal Velocity of a body falling through a fluid as in a diver falling through air is given by

v = √(2mg/ρcA)

where m = mass of body falling through fluid = 80 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

ρ = density fluid, density of air, as obtained from literature = 1.21 kg/m³

c = coefficient of drag friction of diver falling through air, as obtained from literature = 0.7

A = the area of the diver facing the fluid = 0.14 m²

v = √(2mg/ρcA) = √((2 × 80 × 9.8)/(1.21 × 0.7 × 0.14)) = 115 m/s = 115 × (3600/1000) km/hr = 414 km/hr
