An airplane flies in a horizontal circle of radius 500 m at a speed of 150 m/s. If the radius were changed to 1000 m, but the sp

laila [671]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

Explanation:

Given;

first radius of the horizontal circle, r₁ = 500 m

speed of the airplane, v = 150 m/s

second radius of the airplane, r₂ = 1000 m

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

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

At constant speed, we will have;

$v^2 =ar\\\\v = \sqrt{ar}\\\\at \ constant\ v;\\\sqrt{a_1r_1} = \sqrt{a_2r_2}\\\\a_1r_1 = a_2r_2\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1r_1}{r_2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1*500}{1000}\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1}{2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{2} a_1$

a₂ = 0.5a₁

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.50 gg? Assume the spacesh

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The time needed is $T = 16.8 s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the stimulated acceleration due gravity is $a = 0.5 g$

The diameter of the spaceship is $d = 35m$

Generally the force acting on the spaceship is

$F = ma$

Given that the spaceship is rotating it implies that the force experienced by the occupant is a centripetal force so

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Thus

$ma = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

=> $\frac{v^2}{r} = a$

Generally the speed of this spaceship is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

=> $v^2 = [\frac{2\pi}{T}] ^2$

=> $\frac{\frac{4\pi^2 r^2}{T^2} }{r} = 0.5g$

=> $\frac{4 \pi^2 r }{T^2} = 0.5 g$

=> $T = \sqrt{ \frac{4\pi^2 r}{0.5g}}$

substituting values

$T = \sqrt{ \frac{4* (3.142)^2 *(35)}{0.5 * 9.8}}$

$T = 16.8 s$

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 8g of water by 20oC?

Elden [556K]

The following information are given in the question:
Mass, M = 8 g
Temperature, T = 20 degree Celsius
Specific heat of water [this value is a constant] C = 1 c/gc
Heat, Q = ?
The formula for calculating the amount of heat required is given below:
Q = MCT = 8 * 1 * 20 = 160
Therefore, Q = 160 cal.

Estimate the number of atoms in 1 cm^3 of a solid

dexar [7]

Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is present in 1mol of a solid (i.e. 22, 400 cm3)

Hence, in 1 cm3, 6.02 x 10^23 /22400 atoms is present = 2 x 10 ^ 19 atoms.
