*62. GO A space laboratory is rotating to create artificial gravity, as the figure indicates. Its period of rotation is chosen so that the outer ring (ro = 2150 m) simulates the acceleration due to gravity on earth (9.80 m/s²). What should be the radius r, of the inner ring, so it simulates the accel- eration due to gravity on the surface of Mars (3.72 m/s²)? In uniform circular motion the concepts of acceleration and force play central roles. Problem 63 deals with acceleration, particularly in connec- tion with the equations of kinematics. Problem 64 deals with force, and it stresses that centripetal force is the net force along the radial direction. This means that all forces along the radial direction must be taken into account when identifying the centripetal force.

Question

*62. GO A space laboratory is rotating to create artificial gravity, as the
figure indicates. Its period of rotation is chosen so that the outer ring
(ro = 2150 m) simulates the acceleration due to gravity on earth (9.80 m/s²).
What should be the radius r, of the inner ring, so it simulates the accel-
eration due to gravity on the surface of Mars (3.72 m/s²)?
In uniform circular motion the concepts of acceleration and force play
central roles. Problem 63 deals with acceleration, particularly in connec-
tion with the equations of kinematics. Problem 64 deals with force, and
it stresses that centripetal force is the net force along the radial direction.
This means that all forces along the radial direction must be taken into
account when identifying the centripetal force.

Different situation now. You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 743 m. You feel planted firmly on the floor , due to artificial gravity. The gravity you experience is Earth-normal, that is, g = 9.81 m/s^2. How fast is the space station rotating in order to produce this much artificial gravity?

George swings a ball around him, in uniform circular motion. The circle's radius is r. George inadvertently releases the string, and the ball goes outward. He catches the string again, and now the ball goes around him at a new rotation rate, with a new radius r + Δr. Calculate the new rotation rate (in rev/s). r = 3.0 m Δr = 1.0 m Original rotation rate = ωi = 1.1 rev/s The ball's mass is m = 160 grams
You are on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at the equator traveling in a hydrofoil going at a constant speed of 300 ?/?. The water is perfectly still. What is your acceleration: a) If you're heading due North? b) If you're heading due East? c) If you're heading straight up (something probably went wrong at this point). Assume the following: The earth has a radius of 6371 km. The earth makes one full revolution every 24 hours. The gravitational constant at sea level is 9.81 m/s2. East and North are relative to the Earth's axial north, not magnetic north.

Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans are to live there for extended length of time. An effective way to create artificial gravity is using a rotating enclosed cylinder. Humans walk on the inside of the outer edge of the cylinder, which has a diameter of D=3450m that is large enough such that its curvature is not readily noticeable to the inhabitants. Once the space station is rotating at the necessary angular speed w to create an artificial gravity of 1g, how many minutes would it take the space station to make one revolution?
1. Gravity: A satellite circles the earth three times per day (it has an 8-hour period). Given Mearth = 5.98x1024 kg, rearth = 6.38x10° km, and G=6.67x10" Nm²/kg², and assuming the orbit is circular, a. Find the radius of the orbit, how many earth radii is it? b. What is the speed of the satellite (in km/s)? c. What is the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity at that radius, i.e. what is "g" at the satellite radius? How much stronger is g at the Earth's surface (what is g/g.t_sat)?

The Earth spins at 460 meters per second at the equator. The radius of the Earth is 6.37 x 106 m. A person who believes in a flat Earth says that if the Earth was round and spinning that fast we would all fly off. Imagine if you were standing inside a hollow earth. How much centripetal acceleration would you experience? How does this compare to the acceleration due to gravity we feel at the Earth’s surface? Does it explain why we don’t fly off the Earth due to the spin?

B) What is the minimum speed the biker has to travel in order to leave the ground when cresting the hill?

4. We are planning a human exploration mission to Mars. We will first place our spacecraft into a circular around Mars and then send down a lander. a) If we want the spacecraft to orbit at an altitude of 170 km above the Martian surface, what will the velocity and orbital period of the spacecraft? b) When we land astronauts on the surface of Mars, what acceleration due to gravity in terms of g's (i.e. as a fraction of the Earth's gravitational acceleration) will the astronauts experience?
