In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, a space station in the shape of a large wheel rotates at a rate sufficient to produce an apparent gravitational acceleration equal to 9.80 m/s2 (see figure). Find the period of rotation.
r=20.0
r=20.0
-
using the formula of circular movement acceleration toward the center of the circular movement is v^2/r
v^2/r=g
v=sqrt(gr)
T=2πr/v=2πsqrt(r/g)=9.0s
This may be too fast. or may be not. Anyway I don’t want to inhabit in this S.S.
