Two pennies are dropped off a table, one that is just dropped off the edge, and one that is rolling horizontally before it drops. Which of the following statements is true? Both pennies will hit the floor at the same time If the horizontal speed of the second penny is increased, it will take more time to reach the floor. The penny just dropped off the edge will always take less time to reach the floor than the penny that is rolling horizontally Increasing the height of the drop will decrease the amount of time it takes for the pennies to hit the floor since they will accelerate faster none of the above

As their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.
Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
