(A) a_c = w^2 r
9.8 = (2200/2) w^2
w = 0.0944rad/s
T = 2 pi / w = 66.6 sec ......Ans
(B) v = w r = (0.0944)(2200/2) = 103.8 m/s
(C) yf - yi = v0y t + ay t^2 /2 (initial velocity was in
perpendicular direction)
0 - 2 = 0 - 9.8 t^2 /2
t = 0.64 sec
(D), yf - yi = v0y t + ay t^2 /2
0 - 2 = 0 - 9.8 t^2 /2
t = 0.64 sec

Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans are to live there for any extended length of time. Without artificial gravity, human growth is stunted and biological functions break down. An effective way to create artificial gravity is through the use of a rotating enclosed cylinder, as shown in the figure. Humans walk on the inside edge of the cylinder, which is sufficiently large (radius R) that its curvature is not readily noticeable to the inhabitants. The...
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...

One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates "artificial gravity" at the outside rim of the station. Part A If the diameter of the space station is 900 m , how many revolutions per minute are needed for the "artificial gravity" acceleration to be 9.80m/s2? Part B If the space station is...
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 astronaut's 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 astronaut's feet and 5% less at his...
A cylindrically shaped space station is rotating about the axis of the cylinder to create artificial gravity. The radius of the cylinder is 157 m. The moment of inertia of the station without people is 5.92 x 109 kg·m2. Suppose 320 people, with an average mass of 54.0 kg each, live on this station. As they move radially from the outer surface of the cylinder toward the axis, the angular speed of the station changes. What is the maximum relative...
A cylindrically shaped space station is rotating about the axis of the cylinder to create artificial gravity. The radius of the cylinder is 185 m. The moment of inertia of the station without people is 2.20 x 109 kg·m2. Suppose 144 people, with an average mass of 78.0 kg each, live on this station. As they move radially from the outer surface of the cylinder toward the axis, the angular speed of the station changes. What is the maximum relative...
You have designed a space station that rotates on its axis in order to produce " artificial gravity." The space station has tree levels consisting of rings connected to spokes that rotate about a single axis as shown in the figure. The outer ring has a radius of 245 m. a. what must the angular velocity of the space station be to simulate the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface on the outer ring of the space station? b....
