Future space stations could create an artificial gravity by rotating. Consider a cylindrical space station that rotates with a period of 28 seconds about its axis. Astronauts walk on the inside surface of the space station, and they experience an Earth-like gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. What is the diameter of the space station?
510m
145m
660m
390m​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 2 pi R / v    period of space station

F / m = v^2 / R    centripetal force per unit of mass

So F / m = 4 pi^2 R^2 / (P^2 * R) = 4 pi^2 R / P^2

Also, F / m = 9.8 m/s^2   earth's gravitational attraction

So 9.8 = 4 pi^2 R / P^2    or    R = 9.8 P^2 / 4 * pi^2) = 195 m

Or D = 2 R = 390 m the diameter required

A magnetic field points up through a loop where the area can be increased by dragging the side of the loop along the rails that make up 2 of the other sides. If you are looking down on the loop (magnetic field out of the page from your perspective) what is the direction of the induced current as the loop increases in area

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field is pointing upwards , so magnetic flux is upwards . Due to increase in area , magnetic flux in upward direction will increase . Hence according to Lenz's law , induced current will be such that it will try to counter this increase . It is possible if current is in clockwise direction . Due to it magnetic field will be induced in downward direction thus reducing the total magnetic flux.  

Hence direction of induced current will be clockwise direction in the loop as shown in the image enclosed .
