Human centrifuges are used to train military pilots and astronauts in preparation for high-g maneuvers. A trained, fit person wearing a g-suit can withstand accelerations up to about 9g (88.2 m/s2) without losing consciousness.
(a) If a human centrifuge has a radius of 3.82 m, what angular speed (in rad/s) results in a centripetal acceleration of 9g?
_______rad/s
(b) What linear speed (in m/s) would a person in the centrifuge have at this acceleration?
________m/s

QUESTION 1: A 54.0-kg ice skater is moving at 4.10 m/s when she grabs the loose end of a rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole. She then moves in a circle of radius 0.820 m around the pole. (a) Determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the horizontal rope on her arms. kN (b) Compare this force with her weight. Frope W QUESTION 2: Human centrifuges are used to train military pilots and astronauts...
In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates in a horizontal circle. A trainee riding in the chamber of a centrifuge rotating with a constant angular speed of 2.9 rad/s experiences a centripetal acceleration of 3.4 times the acceleration due to gravity. In a second training exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from rest with a constant angular acceleration. When the centrifuge reaches an angular...
In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates in a horizontal circle. A trainee riding in the chamber of a centrifuge rotating with a constant angular speed of 2.5 rad/s experiences a centripetal acceleration of 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity. In a second training exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from rest with a constant angular acceleration. When the centrifuge reaches an angular...
Astronauts often have to train in high-g (high gravity) environments before they embark on space missions. A space-training module consists of a capsule that rotates insides a horizontal circular track of radius 115 m. The rotational speed increases at a constant rate from rest such that the capsule finishes its first cycle in 8.00 s (a) How long does it take from the start of the motion for the radial acceleration to be equal to five times the acceleration due...
