Question

An astronaut is inside a centrifuge that has a radius of 10 m. The astronaut is experiencing 10g, meaning that the centripetal acceleration is ac=98ms2ac=98ms2. The tangential velocity of the astronaut is

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The Radius  of the centrifuge (r) = 10 m.

The mass  experienced by the astronaut (m) = 10 g =10×10-3 kg

The centripetal acceleration (ac) = 98 ms2 

Step 2

On calculating the tangential velocity by using the formula as follows,

νt=ωr

Where,

vt= The Tangential velocity

ω= The angular velocity

r  = The radius of the centrifuge.
