Answer:

Tilted forward to keep the driest.

Explanation:

The rain is falling vertically so there is no wind. In these circumstances the umbrella should be tilted vertically forward.

The situation is the same as if you would stand still and the rain would come under an angle from the front.

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.
