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.

A rocket, launched from the Earth, shuts off its engines when its speed is 5.10 km/s. It reaches a maximum altitude of 2600 km before it falls back to Earth. At what altitude did the rocket's engines shut off? The mass and radius of the Earth are 5.97 1024 kg and 6.37 106 m, respectively. M
On the International Space Station an object with mass m = 440 g is attached to a massless string of length L = 0.61 m. The string can handle a tension of T = 5.8 N before breaking. The object undergoes uniform circular motion, being spun around by the string horizontally.What is the maximum speed v the mass can have before the string breaks? Give your answer in units of m/s.
A disk-shaped space station has been built by Professor Trout. It is in outer space at this moment. It is 175 m in diameter and spins uniformly about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disk through its center. How many revolutions per minute must this disk make so that the centripetal acceleration experienced by tenants in the space station is exactly g/2? a) 2.26 rev/min b) 0.87 rev/min c) 7.12 rev/min d) 3.94 rev/min e) 1.40 rev/min

In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet clothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown in Figure P7.61. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they are made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of0 = 68.0° above the horizontal. If the radius of the tub is r = 0.330 m, what rate of revolution is needed in revolutions per second?

An object of mass m1 = m and an object of mass m2 = 2m move around a rotation axis A in parallel circles of radii r1 = 2r and radii r2 = r, with tangential speeds v1 = 2v and v2 = v, as shown. As they rotate, forces of equal magnitude are applied opposite to their velocities to stop them. Which statement is correct? m2 will stop first because it has the smaller initial tangential speed Both objects will stop at the same time because their angular speeds are equal at all times m2 will stop first because it has the smaller radius m2 will stop first because it has a smaller moment of inertia m1 will stop first because it has the smaller initial angular velocity m1 will stop first because the torque on it is greater
