In the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, directed by Stanley Kubrick, some spacefarers make the journey to Jupiter on the ship Discovery One. ふてくさ Inside the command module (the spherical dome at the front) there is a 10.86 m diameter centrifuge, which spins to provide artificial gravity during the long journey. If the centrifuge spins at a rate of 5.1 rotations per minute (rpm), how many g's would this be equivalent to? Hint: Earth's gravity is 1 g, where g = 9.8 m/s²; Discovery One's gravity would likely be less than or equal to 1 g.

A point on a rotating turntable 20.0 cm from the center accelerates from rest to a final speed of 0.700 m/s in 1.75 s. At t = 1.25 s, find the magnitude and direction of (a) the radial acceleration, (b) the tangential acceleration, and (c) the total acceleration of the point.
A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P5.59. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle θ that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical. (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead stay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If ? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circle’s rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a). (d) For any period or loop size, is there always an angle at which the bead can stand still relative to the loop? (e) Are there ever more than two angles? Arnold Arons suggested the idea for this problem. Figure P5.59
