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.

In certain cases, using both the momentum principle and energy principle to analyze a system is useful, as they each can reveal
kramer

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is the following:

F_G = G * \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \\

Where:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 * 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

m1 & m2 = the mass of two related objects

r = distance between the two related objects

The problem gives you everything you need to plug into the formula, except for the gravitational constant. Let me know if you need further clarification.

As the mass of an object increases, it’s inertia will
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Inertia is the property of mass that resists change. Therefore, it is safe to say that as the mass of an object increases so does its inertia.
