Answer:

91 km

Explanation:

Draw a picture.  The line of sight to the horizon forms a tangent line with the curvature of the Earth.  The radius line to that point forms a right angle with the tangent line.  So we can use Pythagorean theorem to find the distance.

c² = a² + b²

(6400 km + 0.650 km)² = (6400 km)² + d²

d ≈ 91 km

A 56 kg astronaut stands on a bathroom scale inside a rotating circular space station. The radius of the space station is 250 m.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut = 56 kg

Radius = 250 m

We need to calculate the speed of space station floor

Using centripetal force and newton's second law

F=mg

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{rg}

Where, v = speed of space station floor

r = radius

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{250\times9.8}

v=49.49\ m/s

Hence, The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.
