MIR space station problem from Armageddon physics assignment

[killjoy]

First off i would really like to thank anyone and everyone who can help me I am sure it is not that hard of a problem but I am just starting physics so i do not have that great of an understanding of it

Im sure many of you have heard of the movie arrmoggeden and the horribal physics that come with it but more to the point, My "Wonderful" teacher just reacntly assigned an EC. assignment on it actully there where 3 parts but the one I am having trouble with is the one on the "MIR" space station. I've got a pretty good grip on the two.

Any help would be appricteated
the websit for the assignment is :http://www.intuitor.com/moviephysics/
then from there scroll to Movie physics in the class room click
the arrmageddon and
than click Movie-minilab

Hi killjoy,

Have you given the assignment a try?

What formulas or equations do you think might apply?

yes i have tried put our class hasent learned about it becuse it is EC. (extra credit) We have only bugun to study all of Newtons laws we have just finshed the 3 one. maby it has some thing to do with equal and opposite reaction but to tell you the truth i have know idea


plus thank you for your message

If the problem is the one titled "Mir Artificial Gravity Analysis", then the description tells you what you need to learn. Read up on circular motion and centripetal acceleration.

Thanks

The EC is due tomorrow so oh well but thanks to you guys. and about those diffeent types of motion i tried working with my teacher and she said to just wait until we study it in class btu thanks i looked over the different type and its tuff but thanks
