Asked by Sam
At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants ar to experience simulated gravity of 1/2g? Assume the spaceship's diameter is 32 m, and give your answer as the time needed for one revolution.
The centripetal acceleration is R w^2, where R is the radius from the center of rotation and w is the angular velocity in radians per second. Set that equal to 0.5 g,where g = 9.8 m/s^2. Then solve for w.
If T is the time required to complete one revolution, w T = 2 pi radians.
Use w to solve for T
