A space station that does not rotate cannot simulate gravity for its occupants.

<u>Answers:</u>

1. True: If we want to simulate gravity inside a space station, this must rotate about its axis, creating the artificial gravity environment by the centripetal acceleration.  


2. True: The Centrifugal force is a fictitious force that appears when the movement of a body is described in a rotating reference system, or equivalently the apparent force perceived by a non-inertial observer in a rotating reference system.


This means that a non-inertial observer on a rotating platform feels that there is a "force" acting on him, which prevents him from remaining at rest on the platform unless he applies another force directed towards the axis of rotation


3. True: This is possible because the station axis, which is the center of rotation of the system, has the lowest artificial gravity (tending to zero or null gravity). Therefore, the weight of a body in that place will tend to zero, in other words,<u> will be weightless.</u>


4. False: Only having a floor to walk on, is not enough to feel the gravity if the station is not a <u>rotating system</u>.


5.False: The astronaut will experience the centrifugal force, which is a inertial force that will tend to push her back .


This is because the rotation displaces any object or body  from the interior of the station towards its walls, giving the appearance of a gravitational thrust directed towards the exterior. The "push", or centrifugal force is actually a manifestation of the objects inside the ship attempting to move in a straight line due to inertia.

The walls of the station provide the centripetal force required for objects to move in a circle. Therefore, the gravity felt by the objects is a simple reaction of force of the object on the walls reacting with the centripetal force of the wall on the object, according to Newton's third law of motion.

If an astronaut travels to different planets, which of the following planets will the astronaut’s weight be the same as on Earth
Nataly_w [17]
<h2>Astronaut travels to different planets - Option 4 </h2>

If an astronaut travels to different planets, none of the planets will the astronaut’s weight be the same as on Earth. On jupiter, weight will be more than the weight on earth. For instance if an astronaut has 100kg on earth then he will have 252 kg on jupiter.

On Mars, weight will be less than the weight on the earth. For instance, if an astronaut has 68 kg on earth then he will has 26 kg on mars. On Mercury, weight of an astronaut will be less than the weight on earth. Example if he has 68 kg on earth then he will have 25.7kg on mercury.

Hence, none of these planets the weight of astronaut will be same as on earth.

To date, Saturn is known to have 13 rings made from which of the following?
ankoles [38]

I think the answer is Dust. Moons and stars definitely don't seem likely and dark particles, I am not even sure what those are. But I have seen rings on other planets before. Hope this helps. :)
