- A space station, in the form of a wheel 120 m in diameter, rotates to provide an artificial gravity of 3.00 m/s2 for persons who walk around on the inner wall of the outer rim. Find the rate of the wheels rotation in revolutions per minute that will produce this effect.arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding If atmospheric resistance is neglected find the maximum height for the mortar shell. Is calculus required for this solution?arrow_forwardThe “mean” orbital radius listed for astronomical objects orbiting the Sun is typically not an integrated average but is calculated such that it gives the correct period when applied to the equation for circular orbits. Given that, what is the mean orbital radius in terms of aphelion and perihelion?arrow_forward
- A raindrop falls through a cloud, increasing in size as it picks up moisture. Assume that its shape always remains spherical. Also assume that the rate of increase of its volume with respect to distance fallen is proportional to the cross-sectional area of the drop at any time (that is, the mass increase dm = ρdV is proportional to the volume πr2 dy swept out by the drop as it falls a distance dy). Show that the radius r of the drop is proportional to the distance y the drop has fallen if r = 0 when y = 0. Recall that when m is not constant, Newton’s second law is properly stated as (d/dt)(mv) = F. Use this equation to find the distance y which the drop falls in time t under the force of gravity, if y = ˙y = 0 at t = 0. Show that the acceleration of the drop is g/7 where g is the acceleration of gravity.arrow_forwardAnswer it pls. What are the primary factors determining the maximum acceleration of a spacecraft entering into atmosphere? How to control the spacecraft entry to ensure the safety of the astronauts on board with the maximum acceleration less than 10g?arrow_forwardEstimate the radius (mm) of a spherical particle of density 1789 kg/m³ that reaches a distance of 683 km if it was ejected at a height 1200 meters from Busay to a final height 16.93 km into the atmosphere the mean wind speed through the atmospheric layer is 26.84 m/s. Viscosity and density of air are 1.923 x 10-5 kg/m-s and 1.301 kg/m³, respectively. Express your final answer in 4 decimal places.arrow_forward

- Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect the direction of “down” as determined by a plumb line. Assume that we can model a mountain as a sphere of radius R=2.00 km and density (mass per unit volume) 2.6*103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a 0.50 m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere’s center and such that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end. How far would the lower end move toward the sphere?arrow_forwardOne day, you are driving your car down the highway, and you notice that you are driving well over the speed limit. You apply the brakes of the carapplying a variable stopping force, until the car slows down to a rea sonable speed of 22.4 m/s (50 mph)A computer plots the force versus time for the vehicle and then measures the area under the curve. It is found that the area is - 18.950N . The total breaking time was 5.4 s. Given that the combined mass of you and your car 1sm = 1200 kg how fast were you moving before applying the breaks? What is the average force applied by the road to the car during breaking? (Note: 1Ns=1kg* m/s)arrow_forward(b) A worker wishes to pile sand onto a circular area in his yard. The radius of the circle is R. No sand is to spill onto the surrounding area; see Fig. Show that the greatest volume of sand that can be stored in this manner is mu,R 3/3 .where us is the coefficient of static friction of sand on sand.
