2. An 85.5 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 12.0 m) and spun at a constant angular velocity of 18.4 rpm. Answer the following: (a) What is the angular velocity of the centrifuge in ?
(b) What is the linear velocity of the astronaut at the outer edge of the centrifuge?
(c) What is the centripetal acceleration of the astronaut at the end of the centrifuge?
(d) How many g’s does the astronaut experience?
(e) What is the centripetal force experienced by the astronaut?

the temperature and the pressure affect solubility. temperature affects by changing the properties of the solvent. the increase in pressure increases solubility, the decrease in pressure decreases solubility.

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
