NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, houses a 20g centrifuge used to conduct research and training to solve real world problems related to the effects of acceleration on systems. It consists of a horizontal rail system with a 58-foot diameter mounted on a central axis, as shown in the figure below. An astronaut is using the centrifuge for training on high accelerations during spaceflight. The astronaut is seated 29.0 ft from the axis of rotation. At what rotation rate, in revolutions per second, will the astronaut experience a centripetal acceleration of 17.49? 29 ft XKKK rev/s

Chad gets on a roller coaster. Chad and the cart rolls down the frictionless loop with a constant speed of 7.4 m/s. The mass of Chad and the cart is 0.75 kg and the radius of the loop is 0.86 m. Since the cart has a smaller dimension than the loop, the cart can be viewed as a point particle. What is the normal force at the top and bottom points? The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2. Draw a free body diagram.

A circular track has several concentric rings where people can run at their leisure. Phil runs on the outermost track with radius rP while Annie runs on an inner track with radius rA = 0.70 rP. The runners start side by side, along a radial line, and run at the same speed in a counterclockwise direction. How many revolutions has Annie made when Annie's and Phil's velocity vectors point in opposite directions for the first time?
