Gravitational force
In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.
Looking at the following images find the artificial gravity with the give data: (first picture is formulas to be used second image is the solution to this wheel's artificial gravity)
- radius of the spinning wheel: 24,3 cm
- mass of entire wheel aparatus: 4.659 kg
- Rotations per minute: 40 rotations in 60 seconds
- 10 Revolutions: 8.25 seconds
work out linear velocity of the wheel(a=v/r^2) which is the second formula in the image.
and find the force of the spinning wheel: (F=ma) and the force acting on the spinning wheel (F= mv^2/r)
