Question Details:
In traveling to the Moon, astronauts aboard the Apollo spacecraft put themselves into a slow rotation to distribute the Sun's energy evenly. At the start of their trip, they accelerated uniformly from no rotation to one revolution every minute during a 11 min time interval. The spacecraft can be thought of as a cylinder with a diameter of 9.4 m.
(a) Determine the angular acceleration.
1Your answer is incorrect. rad/s2

(b) Determine the radial and tangential component of the linear acceleration of a point on the skin of the ship 1.0 min after it started this acceleration.
radial
2 m/s2
tangential
3 m/s2
