- One Problem For Humans Living In Outer Space Is That They Experience Apparent Weightlessness One Way Around This Proble 1 (24.18 KiB) Viewed 58 times
One problem for humans living in outer space is that they experience apparent weightlessness. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates artificial gravity" at the outside rim of the station. a) If the radius of the space station is 400 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the "artificial gravity" acceleration to be 9.80 m/s?? b) If the space station is a waiting area for travelers going to Mars, it might be desirable to simulate the acceleration due to gravity on the Martian surface of 3.70 m/s2. How many revolutions per minute are needed in this case?
