It is proposed that future space stations create an artificial gravity by rotating. Suppose a space station is constructed as a

800-m-diameter cylinder that rotates about its axis. The inside surface is the deck of the space station. What rotation period will provide "normal" gravity?

Answer:

T=56.77s

Explanation:

We must use the formula for centripetal acceleration:

a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}

We know the radius <em>r</em> and we want is to obtain a centripetal acceleration equal to <em>g. </em>Since velocity is distance over time, on this circle we can take distance as the circumference (which is of value 2\pi r) and thus the time will be the period <em>T</em> because that's the time a point takes to travel the whole circumference, so we can write:

g=a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}

or:

g=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2}

and since we want the period:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 r}{g}}=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}

which for our values is:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{(800m)}{(9.8m/s^2)}}=56.77s

Elements in a period have _____________.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

  • Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
  • In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
  • As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
  • This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.

An object is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 8 m/s, and reaches a greatest height of 15 m before it fal
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The value is T_t =  2.5659 \  s    

Explanation:

From the we are told that  

         The initial speed of the object is  u =  8 \  m/s

         The greatest height it reached is  h  =  15 \  m

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v^2 =  u^2 + 2gH

At maximum height v  =  0 m/s

So

      0^2 =  8^2 + 2 *  - 9.8 *  H

=>    H  =  3.27 \  m

Here H is the height from the initial height to the maximum height

So the initial height is mathematically represented as  

      s =  h - H

=>    s =  15 - 3.27

=>    s =  11.73 \  m

Generally the time taken for the object to reach maximum height is mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as follows

            v  =  u + (-g) t

At maximum height v  =  0 m/s

           0 = 8 - 9.8t

=>         t = 0.8163 \  s

Generally the time taken for the object to move from the maximum height to the ground is mathematically using kinematic equation as follows

       h  =  ut_1 + \frac{1}{2}  gt_1^2

Here the initial velocity is  0 m/s given that its the velocity at maximum height

Also  g is positive because we are moving in the direction of gravity  

So

       15  =  0* t  +  4.9 t^2

=>      t_1  =  1.7496

Generally the total time taken is mathematically represented as

          T_t =  t + t_1

=>        T_t =  0.8163  +   1.7496

=>        T_t =  2.5659 \  s

Two forces, F₁ and F₂, act at a point. F₁ has a magnitude of 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x ax
kirill115 [55]

1) -7.14 N

2) +2.70 N

3) 7.63 N

Explanation:

1)

In order to find the x-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the x-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: this means that the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}

so its x-component is

F_{1x}=(8.00)(cos (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=-3.88 N

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: so, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}

Therefore its x-component is

F_{2x}=(5.40)(cos (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-3.26 N

So, the x-component of the resultant force is

F_x=F_{1x}+F_{2x}=-3.88+(-3.26)=-7.14 N

2)

In order to find the y-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the y-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: as we said previously, the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}

so its y-component is

F_{1y}=(8.00)(sin (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=7.00 N

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: as we said previously, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}

Therefore its y-component is

F_{2y}=(5.40)(sin (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-4.30 N

So, the y-component of the resultant force is

F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}=7.00+(-4.30)=2.70 N

3)

The two components of the resultant force representent the sides of a right triangle, of which the resultant force corresponds tot he hypothenuse.

Therefore, we can find the magnitude of the resultant force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

Where in this problem, we have:

F_x=-7.14 N is the x-component

F_y=2.70 N is the y-component

And substituting, we find:

F=\sqrt{(-7.14)^2+(2.70)^2}=7.63 N
