Answer:

Space junk, or space debris, is any piece of machinery or debris left by humans in space. It can refer to big objects such as dead satellites that have failed or been left in orbit at the end of their mission. It can also refer to smaller things, like bits of debris or paint flecks that have fallen off a rocket.

Answer:

In addition to derelict man-made objects left in orbit, other examples of space debris include fragments from their disintegration, erosion and collisions or even paint flecks, solidified liquids expelled from spacecraft, and unburned particles from solid rocket motors. Space debris represents a risk to spacecraft.

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s$

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

$\theta= \omega t$

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

$\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad$

In degrees, it is

$15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

$v=\omega r$

where we have

$\omega=0.20 rad/s$

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s$
