A space station is constructed in the shape of a wheel 20 m in diameter, with essentially all of its 5.2×105 kg mass at the rim. Once the station is completed, it is set rotating at a rate that requires an object at the rim to have radial acceleration g , thereby simulating Earth's surface gravity. This is accomplished using two small rockets, each with 130 N thrust, that are mounted on the rim of the station. How long will it take to reach the desired spin rate, and how many revolutions will the station make in this time?
Merry-go-rounds are a common ride in park playgrounds. The ride is a horizontal disk that rotates about a vertical axis at their center. A rider sits at the outer edge of the disk and holds onto a metal bar while someone pushes on the ride to make it rotate. Suppose that a typical time for one rotation is 6.0 ss and the diameter of the ride is 16 ftft . 1. For this typical time, what is the speed of the rider, in m/sm/s? Express your answer in meters per second. 2. What is the rider’s radial acceleration, in m/s2m/s2? Express your answer in meters per second squared. 3. What is the rider’s radial acceleration if the time for one rotation is halved? Express your answer in meters per second squared.
Now we have a rod-shaped space station of length 1402 m and mass 8.50 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 1.51 rpm. If the length of the rod is reduced to 1.51 m, what will be the new rotation rate of the space station? 5.08 rpm 2.54 rpm 3 8.13 rpm 4 1.52 rpm
