NASA is planning a space station that will have artificial gravity. The plan is for a 250 m radius. NASA wants the acceleration at the outer edge to be 4.9 m/s2. Calculate the velocity of the station’s rotation. The station will be equipped with a launcher at the end of each spoke. Choose the diagram that shows the direction a small spaceship will go when it is released from the station, and note how fast it will go.

Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.
Now we have a rod-shaped space station of length 572 m and mass 6.59 x 10^6 kg, which can change its length (kind of like an old-fashioned telescope), without changing its overall mass. Suppose that the station is initially rotating at a constant rate of 1.03 rpm. If the length of the rod is reduced to 424 m, what will be the new rotation rate of the space station?
A 0.040 kg ball tied to a string moves in a circle that has a radius of 0.700 m. If the ball is accelerating at 43.2 m/s2, what is the tangential velocity of the ball?
A proposed space station includes living quarters in a circular ring 63.7 m in diameter. At what angular speed should the ring rotate so the occupants feel 0.636 g where g is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth?
A circular space station with a radius of 72 m has just been completed. In order to provide astronauts with the feeling of gravity, the space station will be set spinning about its central axis. To do this, solid fuel rockets have been attached around the perimeter of this station to start it spinning. These rockets fizzle out quickly, and produce a non-uniform angular acceleration of =a0e−bt Where a0 = 0.0424 rad/s2 and b = 0.153 s-1. The station is at rest (is not spinning) when the rockets are ignited at t = 0 s. What is the tangential speed of the outer edge of the station about the center of the station at t = 6.27 s? Through what angle has the station rotated in that time? Once the rockets are done burning, how long does it take the station to complete one revolution?
A 0.750 m string is used to whirl a 0.20 kg stone in a horizontal circle. If 15 circles are completed in a minute, determine the following: a. angular speed, b. linear speed, c. centripetal acceleration, d. centripetal force, e. tension in the string.
An object is said to be moving along a circular path of diameter 600km. If it is revolving with an angular velocity of (3t2) rad/s, where t is in seconds, find the magnitude of the objects's velocity and acceleration when θ = 30°. Note that θ = 0° when t=0.
It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 13.0 mi long and 6.42 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. What angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on Earth?
A space station with circular or cylindrical parts may have artificial gravity by spinning. The wall pushing against someone will feel like gravity. Calculate the apparent g (in m/s2) the person experiences if the radius is r and the rotation speed is v: r = 11 m v = 15 m/s
Please help me ALL this question. Please....... Please select TWO options as your correct answers. TWO correct answers will give you correct answer.WRONG answers If you choose ONE answer only or only ONE answer is correct. 1) A car goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v. Then it goes around a curve of radius 2r at speed 2v. (1) What is the centripetal force on the car as it goes around the second curve, compared to the first? (ii) What is the angular velocity of the car on the second curve? a) Twice as big b) One-half as big c) Remain the same d) Four times as big e) One- fourth as big 2) Two equal forces are applied to a door. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door and the second force is applied at the doorknob. Both forces are applied perpendicular to the door. (i) Which force exerts the greater torque? (ii) If two forces produce the same torque, do they have the same magnitude? a) no b) yes c) The first at the midpoint d) the second at the…
At the 10 second mark, what is the angular speed (in degrees per second)? Is it just 220 degrees?
