2. An 85.5 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 12

.0 m) and spun at a constant angular velocity of 18.4 rpm. Answer the following:
(a) What is the angular velocity of the centrifuge in ?
(b) What is the linear velocity of the astronaut at the outer edge of the centrifuge?
(c) What is the centripetal acceleration of the astronaut at the end of the centrifuge?

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

A beam of light is traveling through a medium at 200,000 km/s. It enters a different medium and speeds up to almost 250,000 km/s
shtirl [24]

Answer

From the question we can see that the in medium  1 speed of light is 200,000 Km/s where as in Medium 2 speed of light is 250,000 km/s.

We can conclude that medium 1 is denser than Medium 2.

In third medium Light speed halts so, the third medium is opaque.

We can say that

Medium 1 can be either water, glass.

Medium 2 will be gas

Medium 3 will be an opaque material.

Describe the difference between a soil horizon and a soil profile
mario62 [17]

Soil profile includes all the sections/ horizons of the vertical soil depth from top to bottom including the transitions from one horizon to another. A soil horizon is a distinct layer/section of soil with more or less the same texture. Therefore, a soil profile is made of soil horizons.

Which material is used to reduce friction ?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:MOST COMMON METHOD IS USING A LUBRICANT -

A lubricant is a substance, usually organic, introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in ... medical examination. It is mainly used to reduce friction and to contribute to a better and efficient functioning of a mechanism. ... For lubricant base oil use, the vegetable derived materials are preferred

OTHER METHODS-

There are a number of ways to reduce friction:

Make the surfaces smoother. ...

Lubrication is another way to make a surface smoother.

Make the object more streamlined.

Reduce the forces acting on the surfaces.

Reduce the contact between the surfaces.

A distant galaxy is determined to be 150 million light years distant and moving away from us; using the Hubble law determine its
dlinn [17]

Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)
