Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 40.0 s to speed up from rest t

Vinvika [58]

Answer

Time period T = 1.50 s

time t = 40 s

r = 6.2 m

Angular speed ω = 2π/T

= $\dfrac{2\pi }{1.5}$

= 4.189 rad/s

Angular acceleration α = $\dfrac{\omega}{t}$

= $\dfrac{4.189}{40}$

= 0.105 rad/s²

Tangential acceleration a = r α = 6.2 x 0.105 = 0.651 m/s²

b)The maximum speed.

v = 2πr/T

= $\dfrac{2\pi \times 6.2}{1.5}$

= 25.97 m/s

So centripetal acceleration.

a = $\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

= $\dfrac{25.97^2}{6.2}$

= 108.781 m/s^2

= 11.1 g

in combination with the gravitation acceleration.

$a_{total} = \sqrt{(11.1g)^2+g^2}$

$a_{total}= 11.145 g$

How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +125 v to a point where it is -55 v

777dan777 [17]

The work W done by the electric field in moving the proton is equal to the difference in electric potential energy of the proton between its initial location and its final location, therefore:
$W= qV_i - qV_f$
where q is the charge of the proton, $q=1 e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ , with $e$ being the elementary charge, and $V_i = +125 V$ and $V_f = -55 V$ are the initial and final voltage.

Substituting, we get (in electronvolts):
$W=e(125 V-(-55 V))=180 eV$
and in Joule:
$W=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19})(125 V-(-55V))=2.88 \cdot 10^{-17}J$

The ball of a ballpoint pen is 0.5 mm in diameter and has an ASTM grain size of 12. How many grains are there in the ball

Fudgin [204]

Given :

The ball of a ballpoint pen is 0.5 mm in diameter and has an ASTM grain size of 12.

To Find :

How many grains are there in the ball?

Solution :

Volume of ball of the ballpoint is :

$V = \dfrac{4 \pi r^3}{3}\\\\V = \dfrac{4\times 3.14 \times 0.5^3}{3}\ mm^3\\\\V = 0.523\ mm^3$

Now, grain size of 12 has about 520000 grains/mm³.

Therefore, number of grains are :

$n = 520000\times 0.523\ grains\\\\n = 271960\ grains$

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.
