Steve was subjected to accelerations in a horizontal "centrifuge". It is considered that such a device has a radius of 5.0 m and can generate a centripetal acceleration equivalent to 7 times the average gravitational acceleration on Earth.
a) For this maximum acceleration, what is the modulus of the astronaut's speed along the circular path?
b) At how many revolutions per minute should the rotation occur to achieve such acceleration?
c) What is the period of this rotation?

During his training as a Canadian astronaut, David Saint-Jacques was submitted to accelerations in a horizontal "centrifuge". Such a device is considered to have a radius of 5.0 m and can generate a centripetal acceleration equivalent to 7 times the acceleration gravitational average on Earth. At how many turn per minute should the rotation be made to have such an acceleration?
A centrifuge is a device in which a small container of material is rotated at a high speed on a circular path. Such a device is used in medical laboratories, for instance, to cause the more dense red blood cells to settle through the less dense blood serum and collect at the bottom of the container. Suppose the centripetal acceleration of the sample is 2.61 x 103 times as large as the acceleration due to gravity. How many revolutions per...

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 2.97g while in...
A fairgrounds ride spins its occupants inside a flying-saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has a 6.00 m radius, at how many revolutions per minute will the riders be subjected to a centripetal acceleration 2.95 times that of gravity?
