Astronauts are trained for take-off in a high-speed centrifuge of 4.7 m radius that spins in the horizontal plane.

(a) What is the average angular speed required for the astronauts to train at 3.5 g's?
(b) How fast (linear speed) are they moving at that time?
(c) What is the direction of the astronaut's apparent weight?

a)

b)

c) Towards the center of the centrifuge

Explanation:

a)

Becuse the centrifuge rotates in circular motion, there's an angular acceleration tha simulates high gravity accelerations

with r the radius and ω the amgular velocity, in or case so:

and g=9.8

solving for ω:

b) Linear speed (v) and angular speed are related by:

c) The apparent weigth is pointing towards the center of the circle, becuse angular acceleration is pointing in that direction.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
