Question

A NASA centrifuge spins astronauts around in a compartment attached to a long arm. A diagram of the centrifuge is shown below.

c. If the arm has a radius of 7.1 m and spins the astronaut with a speed of 13.5 m/s, what is the acceleration of the astronaut? (1 point)
d. The maximum acceleration the centrifuge can produce is 14.5 g. What is this acceleration in m/s2? (2 points)
e. How fast would the compartment have to move to produce an acceleration of 14.5 g? (1 point)

Answer 1

14.5 g I'm guessing lol I just got this from what you wrote just joined the website why do I have to write 20 charcters tho?

Answer 2

For D) you just take the number if g 145 and the acceleration of gravity 9.80665. You should of got 145 × 9.80665 = 14.5 ---
