A. Normal and Tangential Coordinates 1. A design for a space station that orbits the earth in a circular path consists of a ring (torus) with a circular torus as shown. Where the "ground level" is 20 ft from the center of the section. Calculate the angular speed N in revolutions per minute required for the space station to produce an artificial "gravity" field. Take note that the gravitational field moves away from the center of the space station (normal component), and one revolution is equal to 2n radians.

My calculated value of acceleration is 12.2 m/s^2 when I drop the object from a height of 3 m. And I need help with the question that is in the attached image.
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 29 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.15 × 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. a. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.)
Consider the hanging crane structure in Figure 1. Write the equations of motion describing the motion of the cart and the payload by using Newton's 2nd Law. The mass of the cart is M, the mass of the payload is m, the mass-less rigid connector has length L, and the friction is modeled as Fb(t) = -bx_ where x is the distance traveled by the cart. Hint: Use normal and tangential coordinate systems.
a) The two systems shown are very similar. In both cases, the horizontal surface is frictionless. All the boxes have the same mass. In which system will box 2 have a larger acceleration? Are they the same? How do you know? 2 no friction The solid line represents the center-of-mass. b) Here is a graph of position vs. time for two objects (dotted line and dashed line) involved in a collision (at the star). There is a mistake in the graph! What is the mistake, and how do you know? 1 Note: I did not give you any numbers on the graph, and you don't need them to find the error! X 2 no friction 1 t
Current Attempt in Progress The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) studies the physiological effects of large accelerations on astronauts. Some of these studies use a machine known as a centrifuge. This machine consists of a long arm, to one end of which is attached a chamber in which the astronaut sits. The other end of the arm is connected to an axis about which the arm and chamber can be rotated. The astronaut moves on a circular path, much like a model airplane flying in a circle on a guideline. The chamber is located 13.0 m from the center of the circle. At what speed must the chamber move so that an astronaut is subjected to 2.44 times the acceleration due to gravity?

You are working as the design engineer in Pacific Robotics and you are to design a robotic arm for a specific manufacturing process that can hoist from 0° to 140 with a simultancous extension of the arm radially. The tip of the robotic arm M can grip objects as shown in the figure. At any given time, when the robotic arm is at a location 0 = 35°, the arm is hoisting at a constant velocity of 12 /s. If the variable part of the arm length, its velocity and acceleration is given as r 0.65 m, r = 0.29 and i = -0.25 m/s, calculate the velocity and acceleration of the grip M. Also, calculate the radial and transverse forces F, and Fa, on the gripped part M which has a mass of 1.5 kg. M 0.7 m

A particular bicycle has wheels that are 66 cm in diameter. The radius of the crank armis 18 cm. At its lowest point, the pedal is 16 cm above the ground. A person is pedalingthe bicycle such that the crank arm rotates once every second.Questions:1. Write an equation that models the vertical position of the foot with respect to theground, starting from the lowest point, as the crank arm turns.2. What is the rate of change of the vertical position of the foot when it is at themidline? Explain your answer3. How fast, in kilometres per hour, is the bicycle moving?4. Determine an equation that would model the foot’s position when the cyclist istraveling 5 km/h. Compare this equation to your equation from question 1 andexplain any differences.5. Use calculus to explain why the rotation velocity of a point on the perimeter of awheel is the same as the velocity of the pedal. Use examples to support youranswer.
Two radio transmitters positioned 400 mi apart along the shore send simultaneous signals to a ship that is 200 mi offshore and sailing parallel to the shoreline. The signal from transmitter S reaches the ship 200 microseconds later than the signal from transmitter T. The signals travel at a speed of 186,000 miles per second, or 0.186 mile per microsecond. Find the equation of the hyperbola with foci S and T on which the ship is located. (Hint: For any point on the hyperbola, the absolute value of the difference of its distances from the foci is 2a.) 200 mi Help me solve this C 400 mi Assume the origin is located at the midpoint of the foci.
