Artificial Gravity Simulator

To simulate the effects of “weight” in deep space, the spacecraft is made to rotate with the astronaut “standing” on the inner hull of a circular chamber. The artificial gravity experienced by the astronaut is the inertial reaction to the normal force pulling them to the center of rotation.

Question Text

What is the rotational speed \(v\) with which the rocket has to rotate to mimic earth’s gravity \(g\).
\(m = {{ params.m }}\ \rm{kg}\), \(R = {{ params.r }}\ \rm{m}\)

Answer Section

Please enter in a numeric value in \(m/s\).
