One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates "artificial gravity" at the outside rim of the station. If the diameter of the space station is 1 km, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the "artificial gravity" acceleration to be 9.8 m/s^2. * O 1.50 1.34 O 68.21 O 44.88

A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has a 4.33 m radius, if the riders is subjected to a centripetal acceleration 3.9 times that due to gravity, what is the spinning speed in unit of revolutions per minute? Use g = 9.8 m/s2.
A 5 kg mass is spun around in a circle of radius 2m with a period of 7 s. What equation would you use to calculate the centripetal acceleration? Calculate the centripetal acceleration. Possible Formulas that can be used to answer the question: v=(2πr)/T ac=v2/r ac=(4π2r)/T2 Fc=mac Fg=mg F=(Gm1m2)/d2 g=Gm/r2 T2=(4π2/Gm)r3 v=√(Gm)/r g=9.80m/s2 G=6.67x10-11 (N∙m2)/kg2
Life scientists use ultracentrifuges to separate biological components or to remove molecules from suspension. Samples in a symmetric array of containers are spun rapidly about a central axis. The centrifugal acceleration they experience in their moving reference frame acts as "artificial gravity" to effect a rapid separation. If the sample containers are 11.9 cm from the rotation axis, what rotation frequency is required to produce an acceleration of 1.85-105 g? Submit Answer Tries 0/99
Different situation now. You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 978 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? Express your answer in revolutions per minute (rpm). 0.478 rpm 0.956 rpm 0.100 rpm 97.9 rpm
Some of the most spectacular objects in the universe are fairly small: neutron stars are spheres with a diameter that's about 10km (they are remnants of old stars). Their spectacular nature is indicated by the fact that they are about as massive as the sun, i.e. 2 x 1030kg. What is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of such an object? Express your result as a multiple of g.
An astronaut orbiting the Earth is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is a circular orbit 500 km above the Earth's surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.11 m/s2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite. m/s Determine the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite. min
At what distance above the surface of the earth is the acceleration due to the earth's gravity 0.665 m/s2m/s2 if the acceleration due to gravity at the surface has magnitude 9.80 m/s2?m/s2? Express your answer in meters.
An asteroid starts at rest infinitely far from an Unknown planet. The asteroid has a mass of 5.00×104 kg. The mass of the planet, and the radius of the planet are given below. MAsteroid= 5.00x104 kg MPlanet-8.60x1025 kg Rplanet= 2.50x107 m What is final velocity when the asteroid hits the planet? 4.3 m/s 9180 m/s 5050 m/s 21400 m/s 1.15 x 103 m/s
Suppose that humans have created a colony outside of our solar system on a planet called Cheops5. Cheops5 has a mass of 2.25×10^25 kg and a day that lasts 29.9 h (which defines the rotational period of the planet). The colony is located on the planet's equator. The colonists set up a communications satellite which orbits Cheops5. The satellite has a circular orbit that keeps it positioned directly above the colony. Calculate the radius ?r of the satellite's orbit in kilometers.
