Question
An astronaut is inside a centrifuge that has a radius of 10 m. The astronaut is experiencing 10g, meaning that the centripetal acceleration is ac=98ms2ac=98ms2. The tangential velocity of the astronaut is
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given:
The Radius of the centrifuge (r) = 10 m.
The mass experienced by the astronaut (m) = 10 g =
The centripetal acceleration (ac) =
Step 2
On calculating the tangential velocity by using the formula as follows,
Where,
= The Tangential velocity
= The angular velocity
r = The radius of the centrifuge.
