Traveling to the moon with a lot of physics?

Question

In traveling to the Moon, astronauts aboard the Apollo spacecraft put themselves into a slow rotation to distribute the Sun's energy evenly. At tje start of their trip, they accelerated from no rotation to 1.0 revolution per minute during a 12-min time interval. The space-craft can be thought of as a cylinder with a diameter of 8.5m. Determine (A) the angular acceleration, and (B) the radial and tangential components of the linear acceleration of a point on the skin of the ship 5.0 min after it started this acceleration

Answer 1

I agree. very cool question. My teacher only threw stones from buildings. The most exciting was a terminal velocity exercise.

Not very complicated. Just look at the equations for accelerated angular movement.
something like:

Theta = Theta0 + Omega0 * t + 0.5 * Alpha * t^2

Answer 2

>>Does anybody know that travel to moon really took place?<< Yes, it really did. >>If yes, why is the flag blowing? Please look at the pictures taken in the moon.<< I have looked at the pictures, and the TV footage, and the film. Please tell me how you deduce that the flag was blowing from still pictures. Watch the actual TV and film footage of the flag setup and you'll see that it only waves when someone is waving it. Once they let go the flag settles down and then remains completely still. How could that happen in an atmosphere where even the slightest breeze would set it moving? >>How come we are not able to send any other shuttle to moon any more after the technology has improved a lot?<< Money. NASA has never had the funding it enjoyed in the early 60s. Even before the first manned landing it was having funding slashed. Technology means very little if no-opne is going to pay for it to be built and used in that way. >>Considering the technology which was very low and basic to what we have right now<< What absolute technological arrogance! The 1960s was NOT the backward, primitive time some people seem to think. We had nuclear bombs, supersonic aircraft, submarines, interplanetary probes. Computers may have been large and unwieldy, but they were still incredibly powerful. The Boeing 747, still in use today, was created in the 60s, as was Concorde. >>whatever are sent, is getting exploded.<< What are you talking about? In the last three decades only two manned spacecraft have failed catastrophically, and every unmanned lunar probe that has been sent has functioned beautifully. In fact the most recent of those keeps sending back images of the landing sites showing the remains of the landers and the footprints of the men who walked on the Moon. Apollo was real, men did walk on the Moon. Deal with it.

Answer 3

Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by change in time

Answer 4

Very cool question by a good teacher. Good luck.
