revolving astronomer are subjected to acceleration by force the centripetal force against the centrifuge the radius of the centrifuge is 10 M .Calculate centripetal force on an astronaunt of mass 9.9 KG?
We need to know the angular velocity of the centrifuge.
This is a very light astronaut.
To calculate the centripetal force on an astronaut, we can use the formula for centripetal force:
Centripetal force (F) = (mass of the astronaut) × (acceleration)
The acceleration experienced by an astronaut revolving in a centrifuge can be calculated using the formula for centripetal acceleration:
Centripetal acceleration (a) = (velocity squared) / (radius of the centrifuge)
Given the radius of the centrifuge is 10 m and the mass of the astronaut is 9.9 kg, we need to find the velocity and then calculate the acceleration and finally the centripetal force.
To find the velocity, we need additional information such as the period or frequency of revolution. Can you provide the period or frequency of revolution of the astronaut in the centrifuge?
