Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 30 s to speed up from rest to its top speed of 1 rotation every 1.3 s. The astronaut is strapped into a seat 6.0 m from the axis. a. What is the astronautβs tangential acceleration during the first 30 s? b. How many gβs of acceleration does the astronaut experience when the device is rotating at top speed? Each 9.8 m/s2 of acceleration is 1 g.
