Astronaut Training Centrifuge

​
angular velocity ω
1.
t
This Demonstration shows a centrifuge used to train astronauts to endure high accelerations in space flight; a capsule with an astronaut inside spins in a circular path with a radius of 15 m and a variable angular velocity
ω
(alternatively expressed in m/s and revolutions per minute, RPM). Angular acceleration is shown in terms of the value of gravitational acceleration
g
. The human body can tolerate up to
10g
, which can be increased with training.
