Space / Physics

2. In class we discussed the possibility of creating artificial gravity by spinning a space station, as illustrated in the figure to the right. We said that one problem with such a set-up is that the artificial gravity at an astronauts feet would be stronger than at his head. Suppose that you are asked to design such a space station that has an artificial gravity of 9.00 m/s2 at an astronauts feet and 5% less at his head. What would be the space stations radius if the astronaut is 170 cm tall?

    [5 marks] In class we discussed the possibility of creating "artificial gravity" by spinning a space station, as illustrated in the figure to the right. We said that one problem with such a set-up is that the artificial gravity at an astronaut's feet would be stronger than at his head.

    A rotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. The outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. Randomized Variables d = 215 m   If the space station is 215 m in diameter, what angular...

    2. Artificial gravity is necessary for humans to stay healthy during extended stays in space. To provide artificial gravity, a space station is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of 2200 m, and it rotates about its center at a constant rate. The astronauts live inside the cylinder at the outer edge, and feel a gravitational pull outwards. (a) How long should one revolution of the space station take if the acceleration of an astronaut on the outer edge...
