A 75.0 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 20.0 m) and spun at a constant angular velocity of 15.0 rpm (revolutions per minute). He is then slowed and brought to a stop in 2.0 minutes.
a. Find the magnitude and direction of the centripetal acceleration and force when he is spinning at constant angular velocity.
b. How many g’s is the astronaut experiencing when moving at constant angular velocity?
c. Find the torque that is needed to bring the centrifuge to a stop knowing the centrifuge has a mass of 5500.0 kg (ignore all other forces) and the force is applied at the edge of the centrifuge (20.0 m radius). Hint: torque is based on the change of linear velocity.

Constants Part A A solid, uniform cylinder with mass 8.30 kg and diameter 19.0 cm is spinning with angular velocity 205 rpm on a thin, frictionless axle that passes along the cylinder axis. You design a simple friction- brake to stop the cylinder by pressing the brake against the outer rim with a normal force. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake and rim is 0.345. What must the applied normal force be to bring the cylinder to rest...

A child pushes her friend (m = 25 kg) located at a radius r = 1.5 m on a merry-go-round (rmgr = 2.0 m, Imgr = 1000 kg*m2) with a constant force F = 90 N applied tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round (i.e., the force is perpendicular to the radius). The merry-go-round resists spinning with a frictional force of f = 10 N acting at a radius of 1 m and a frictional torque τ = 15 N*m...
