X min
A planet travels in a circular orbit around a star. The radius of the circular orbit is 3.33×1011 m and the orbital period is 1.37 years.
What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the planet, in m/s2?
Candor is a space station that looks like a cylinder. Astronauts who are inside reside at a radius of 187 m. The
space station rotates so that astronauts experience a centripetal acceleration of 2.8g (where g is free fall
acceleration g = 9.8 m/s² ).
What is the period of the astronauts?
