Question

A space station is made to spin about an axis such that the astronauts inside feel their normal
weight W against the outermost wall. When they are at a level at half the distance from the axis
of rotation as the outermost wall, they will feel the weight as

a) ½W b) ¼W c) W d) 4W

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Artificial gravity is the creation of an inertial force that mimics the effects of a gravitational force, usually by rotation. Artificial gravity, or rotational gravity, is thus the appearance of a centrifugal force in a rotating ... However, there are no current practical outer space applications of artificial gravity for humans due to concerns.

W

Answer 2

Answer:

By newton law of gravitation , force is inverse propotional to square off distance. give d = 1/2

d^2 = 1/4 when 4 goes to numeroator force becomes 4 times and weight also becomes 4 times.

d) 4W
