Out of a pair of identical springs of force constants, 240Nm-1 one is compressed by 10 cm and the other is stretched by 10 cm. What is the difference in the potential energies stored in the two springs? Don't spam ❌

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Aperson stands on a platform, initially at rest, that can rotate freely without friction. the moment of inertia of the person plus the platform is ip. the person holds a spinning bicycle wheel with its axis horizontal. the wheel has moment of inertia iw and angular velocity ωw. take the ωw direction counterclockwise when viewed from above. part a what will be the angular velocity ωp of the platform if the person moves the axis of the wheel so that it points vertically upward?

What would people living along the coast in south florida do if there was a hurricane warning? move to locations away from the water flock along coasts to watch the natural phenomenon buy instruments to predict the exact location of the hurricane measure water levels to know the exact time of the hurricane
