A proposed space station includes living quarters in a circular ring 51.0 m in diameter. At what angular speed should the ring rotate so the occupants feel that they have the same weight as they do on Earth?

0.620 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter of the ring = 51.0 m

radius = diameter/2 = 51.0 m/2

= 25.5 m

In the system, the centripetal force is equal to the force as a result of the weight;

∴

mω²r = mg

ω²r = g

where:

ω = angular speed

ω = 0.620 rad/s

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
