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

A circuit contains two resistors in series. The voltage drop across the first is 10 V. The voltage drop across the second is als
Norma-Jean [14]

Hi there!

Voltage in a series can be expressed by the following:

V_T = V_1 + V_2

In words, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops in a SERIES circuit.

We can solve for the total voltage:

V_T = 10 + 10 = \boxed{\text{ D. 20 V}}

An instructor gives a demonstration in which he makes a standing wave on a long thin slinky. The slinky is 6.0 meters long. If y
Naily [24]

The characteristics of standing waves allows to find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The speed wave is:  v = 10 m / s

The wave is a way of transmitting energy without mass displacement, , in the attachment we can see a diagram of the standing wave.

Each cycle corresponds to half a wavelength,  they indicate that the frequency is 2.50 Hz and there are three cycles, so the wavelength is:

      L = n \frac{\lambda}{2}

      λ = 2L/n

      λ = 2 6 /3

       λ = 4 m

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

        v = λ f

         v = 4 2.5

         v = 10 m / s

In conclusion, using the characteristics of standing waves we can find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The wave speed is:   v = 10 m / s

Classify each process according to whether it does or does not produce a new substance.
AlexFokin [52]

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.

Given:

The following process:

  1. cooking an egg
  2. melting ice
  3. fireworks exploding
  4. evaporating puddle of water
  5. rusting of a metal tool
  6. Dissolving of salt in water

To find:

The classify the processes in whether it does or does not produce a new substance.

Solution:

  • Chemical change is the change when a new substance is formed due to a change in the chemical composition of the substance.
  • Physical change is the change in which no change in chemical composition takes place and the identity of the substance remains the same.
  • Cooking an egg

Chemical change, due to change in atomic arrangement egg get solidified on cooking, a new substance is formed.

  • Melting ice

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from solid to liquid, no new substance is formed.

  • Firework exploding

Chemical change. formation of carbon dioxide gas and sound energy, anew substance formed

  • Evaporating puddle of water

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from liquid to gas, no new substance is formed.

  • Rusting of metal tool

Chemical change, formation of oxides on the surface of the metal tool due to reaction between air and metal, a new substance is formed.

  • Dissolving of salt in water

Physical change, ions of salt in the solid state are changing into aqueous ions with no formation of new substance, no new substance is formed.

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.
