One way that future space stations may create artificial gravity is by rotating the station. consider a cylindrical space station 380 m in diameter that is rotating about its longitudinal axis. astronauts walk on the inside surface of the space station. how long will it take for each rotation of the cylinder if it is to provide normal gravity for the astronauts?

Explanation:

       The Cylinder rotates about it's axis, thus there exists a Centrifugal force on a object which is on the inner surface of the cylinder. This is one of the many ideas that are currently being used in space habitation.

       So, Centrifugal force acts like Normal gravity when both have equal magnitude.

is the mass of astronaut, is the Earth's gravity,   is the velocity of astronaut,   is the Time period of rotation.

∴ It takes 27.65 sec for rotation of cylinder, if it is to provide normal gravity for astronauts.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
