Answer: The speed of the astronaut in this device 38.34 m/s.

Explanation:

Radius of the device ,r = 15 m

Acceleration of the device = =a_c=98m/s^2

Velocity of the astronaut in a device ,v = ?

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

v^2=98 m/s^2\times 15 m

v=38.34 m/s

Hence,the speed of the astronaut in this device 38.34 m/s.

The centripetal acceleration of an object is given by the relation,

Ac =V^2/R

where Ac = centripetal acceleration = 98 m/s^2

R = radius of rotation = 15 m

V = speed of astronaut

Hence, \frac{V^2}{15} =98

solving this we get, V = 38.34 m/s

What is the SI Unit for amplitude?
seropon [69]
This distance is known as the amplitude of the wave, and is the characteristic height of the wave, above or below the equilibrium position. Normally the symbol A is used to represent the amplitude of a wave. The SI unit of amplitude is the metre (m).
