At its Ames Research Center, NASA uses its large 20-G centrifuge to test the effects of very large accelerations (hypergravity) on test pilots and astronauts. In this device, an arm 8.84 m long rotates about one end in a horizontal plane, and the astronaut is strapped in at the other end. Suppose that he is aligned along the arm with his head at the outermost end. The maximum sustained acceleration to which humans are subjected in this machine is typically 12.5 g .Part AHow fast must the astronaut's head be moving to experience this maximum acceleration?Part BWhat is the difference between the acceleration of his head and feet if the astronaut is 2.00 m tall?Part CHow fast in rpm (revolutions per minute) is the arm turning to produce the maximum sustained acceleration?

A1kg cart slams into a stationary 1kg cart at 2 m/s. the carts stick together and move forward at a speed of 1 m/sl. determine whether kinetic energy was conserved in the collision. use the law of conservation of energy to explain the collision

Which fators influence ocean currents

Amass m = 74 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius r = 18.4 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (18.4 m off the ground). since the mass would not make it around the loop if released from the height of the top of the loop (do you know why? ) it must be released above the top of the loop-the-loop height. (assume the mass never leaves the smooth track at any point on its path.) 1. what is the minimum speed the block must have at the top of the loop to make it around the loop-the-loop without leaving the track? 2. what height above the ground must the mass begin to make it around the loop-the-loop? 3. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what will its speed be at the bottom of the loop? 4. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what is its speed at the final flat level (18.4 m off the ground)? 5. now a spring with spring constant k = 15600 n/m is used on the final flat surface to stop the mass. how far does the spring compress?
