What is the radius of a circular space station that spins with a linear speed of 90.0 m/s I’m order for its walls to supply a centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration provided by gravity on the surface of the earth?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a = v^2 / R      centripetal acceleration

R = v^2 / a     a at the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s^2

R = (90 m/s)^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = 827 m
