A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of 1.00 x 102 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 x 108 kgm2. A crew of 150 lives on the rim, and the station is rotating so that the crew experiences an apparent acceleration of 1.0g. When 120 people move to the center of the station for a union meeting, the angular speed changes. What apparent acceleration is experienced by the mangers remaining at the rim? Assume the average mass of a crew member is 65.0 kg.

Let the light ways moving from a material to another material. There are 2 scenarios:
- The ray is moving from water to glass. The intensity of the refracted rays is 98.92 % and the intensity of the reflected rays is 1.08%.
- The ray is moving from air to glass. The intensity of the refracted rays is 90.87% and the intensity of the reflected rays is 9.13%.
The index of diffraction of air, water, and glass are 1.00, 1.33, and 1.50 respectively.
Explain these differences in the intensity between 2 scenarios.

The naturally occurring isotope K40 is widely spread in the environment. In fact, the average concentration of potassium in the crustal rocks is 27 g/kg and in the oceans is 380 mg/liter. K40 occurs in plants and animals, has a half-life of 1.3 billion years and a natural abundance of 0.0119 percent.
Potassium's concentration in humans is 1.7 g/kg. In urine, potassium's concentration is 1.5 g/liter.
(You can skip i. I just need to know how to do ii, iii, iv. please) Thank you!
i) Calculate the specific activity of K40 in Becquerels per gram of K40.
ii) Calculate the specific activity of K40 in Becquerels per gram of K.
iii) Calculate the specific activity of K40 in urine in Bq/Liter
iv.) A beta activity above 200 transformations (disintegrations) per minute per liter of urine following exposure to fission products is indicative of an internal deposition. How does this "body burden" criterion compare to the activity caused by the one due to the naturally occurring potassium?

As preparation for this problem, review Conceptual Example 9. From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 35.0 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of v0 = 17.6 m/s and are thrown at an angle θ = 31.3 °, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal. What is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water? Neglect air resistance.

A small spherical insulator of mass 5.49 × 10-2 kg and charge +0.600 μC is hung by a thin wire of negligible mass. A charge of -0.900 μC is held 0.150 m away from the sphere and directly to the right of it, so the wire makes an angle with the vertical (see the drawing). Find (a) the angle and (b) the tension in the wire.
