Question

ca Sapling Learning Map d In the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, astronauts travel through space and experience artificial gravity created by a circular spinning space station. In order to experience the same gravitational acceleration as we feel on Earth, a space station spins at 39.1 m/'s. How large must the diameter of the space station be in order to create a comfortable Earth-like environment for the astronauts? Number oon ands achempare to the Intemational Space Station (iS5), which has a length of about 70m, a width O The ISS is larger than the space station spinning at 39.1 m/s. O The ISS is smaller than the space station spinning at 39.1 m/s O The ISS is about the same size as the space station spinning at 39.1 m/'s. O There is not enough information to answer this question. 2 Previous Check Answer Next E

Explanation / Answer

a)

Diameter of the space station is

D=2r =2V2/g =2*39.12/9.81

D=311.7 m
