At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.50 gg? Assume the spaceship's diameter is 35 mm , and give your answer as the time needed for one revolut

Respuesta :

Answer:

Time needed for one revolution is 0.38 s

Explanation:

The formula for the frequency of rotation of a spaceship, to create the desired artificial gravity, is as follows:

f = (1/2π)√(a/r)

where,

f = frequency of rotation = ?

a = artificial gravity required = 0.5 g

g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of Earth = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of ship = 35 mm/2 = 17.5 mm = 17.5 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

f = (1/2π)√[(0.5)(9.8 m/s₂)/(17.5 x 10⁻³ m)]

f = 2.66 Hz

Now, for the time required for one revolution, is given as:

Time Period = T = 1/f

T = 1/2.66 Hz

T = 0.38 s

The time required for one revolution to simulate the desired gravity is 0.38 s.

The frequency can be calculate by the formula

[tex]\bold {f = (\dfrac {1}{2\pi})\sqrt{ar}}[/tex]

where,

f - frequency of rotation = ?

a-  artificial gravity required = 0.5 g

g -  gravitational acceleration on surface of Earth = 9.8 m/s²

r -  radius of ship = 35 mm/2 = 17.5 mm = 17.5 x 10⁻³ m

Put the value in the equation,

[tex]\bold {f = \dfrac {1}{2\pi}\squrt {(0.5)(9.8\ m/s^2)}{(17.5 x 10^{-3} m)}}\\\\\bold {f = 2.66\ Hz}[/tex]

the time required for one revolution can be calculated as

[tex]\bold {T =\dfrac 1f}\\\\\bold {T = \dfrac 1{2.66}\ Hz}\\\\\bold {T = 0.38\ s}[/tex]

Therefore, the time required for one revolution to simulate the desired gravity is 0.38 s.
