Explanation:
Given that,
Radius of circular path, r = 5 m
Centripetal acceleration,
(a) Let v is the astronaut’s speed. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :
v = 18.5 m/s
(b) Let T denotes the time period. It is given by :
T = 1.69 s
Let N is the number of revolutions. So,
So, the number of revolutions per minute is 35.5
(c) T = 1.69 seconds
Hence, this is the required solution.
