A disk-shaped space station 125 m in diameter spins at a constant angular velocity. If the acceleration of a point on the rim of

the disk is to be equal to "g", how long does it take for the station to make one revolution?

Answer:

  t = 22.44 s

Explanation:

The acceleration of the station is centripetal which has the formula

         a = v² / r

linear and angular velocity are related

         v = w² r

as they indicate that the acceleration is equal to the acceleration of gravity

         g = w² r

         w = \sqrt{  \frac{g}{r} }

         

let's calculate

         w = \sqrt{ \frac{9.8}{ 125} }

         w = 0.28 rad / s

to calculate the time use us

          w = θ / t

in a complete revolution θ = 2pi

          t = θ / w

let's calculate

          t = 2π / 0, 28

          t = 22.44 s

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?
ale4655 [162]

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

A proton and an electron are fixed in space with a separation of 859 nm. Calculate the electric potential at the midpoint betwee
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as;

V = E*r

where;

E is the electric field strength, = kq/r²

V = ( kq/r²)*r

V = kq/r

k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q is the charge of the particles = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

r is the distance between the particles = 859 nm

At midpoint, the distance = r/2 = 859nm/2 = 429.5 nm

V = (8.99 X 10⁹  * 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹)/ (429.5 X 10⁻⁹)

V = 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Therefore, the electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Virty [35]

Answer:

N = 337.96 N

Explanation:

∅ = 32º

F = 249 N

m = 21 Kg

N = ?

We can apply:

∑ F = 0  (↑)

- Fy - W + N = 0   ⇒    N = Fy + W

⇒  F*Sin ∅ + m*g = N

⇒  N = (249 N*Sin32º) + (21 Kg*9.81 m/s²)

⇒  N = 337.96 N  (↑)
