A space station consists of three modules, connected to form an equilateral triangle of side length 82.0 m. Suppose 100 people,

with an average mass of 75.0 kg each, live in each capsule and the mass of the modules is negligible compared to the mass of the people. At the current rotational rate the effective acceleration of gravity is g/2. (a) What angular momentum of the system

Answer:

Angular momentum of the system is 16221465.4617 kgm²/s

Explanation:

Given that;

length of the side of the triangle L =  82 M

m = 75.0 kg × 100 = 7500 kg

distance of each vertex from center R = L/√3 = 82/√3 = 47.34 m

effective acceleration a = 9.8 / 2 = 4.9 m/s²

we know that; effective acceleration is being provided by centripetal acceleration.

so

a = R × w²

rate of rotation w = √( a / R) = √( 4.9 / 47.34)  = 0.3217 rad/seconds

Moment of Inertia I = 3mR²

we substitute

I = 3 × 7500 × (47.34)²

Also, Angular momentum L is expressed as;

L = I × w

so

L = 3 × 7500 × (47.34)² × 0.3217

L =  16221465.4617 kgm²/s

Therefore, Angular momentum of the system is 16221465.4617 kgm²/s

What are the rules for setting up an integral of rotation?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Setting up an integral of rotation is used as a method of of calculating the volume of a 3D object formed by a rotated area of a 2D space. Finding the volume is similar to finding the area, but there is one additional component of rotating the area around a line of symmetry.

<span>First the solid of revolution should be defined. The general  function is y=f(x), on an interval [a,b].</span>

Then the curve is rotated about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. That is the integral of the function.

<span>It all depends of the function f(x), which must be known in order to calculate  the integral.</span>

Dane is standing on the moon holding an 8 kilogram brick 2 metres above the ground. How much energy is in the brick's gravitatio
Nadya [2.5K]

The gravitational potential energy of the brick is 25.6 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

Near the surface of a planet, the gravitational potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the brick in this problem, we have:

m = 8 kg is its mass

g = 1.6 N/kg is the strenght of the gravitational field on the moon

h = 2 m is the height above the ground

Substituting, we find:

PE=(8)(1.6)(2)=25.6 J
