  • An astronaut performs a demonstration of centripetal force onboard the International Space Station. I had the opportunity to work with NASA's Teaching from Space office at the Johnson Space Center to author a handful of such lessons, which were recorded on orbit.

    I actually thought Centripetal Force was a "product" (for lack of a better word) of gravity. Now I feel silly seeing that.

      One interesting product of gravity is that light things go up. It is interesting too think about what happens to "light things" in space (like a helium balloon). I'm glad you liked the video.

      Centripetal force is the product of anything that keeps an object from continuing on a straight path. It can be a rope, a container, or yes, gravity.

      @@AndrewVandenHeuvel Well actually Andrew, it not a product of gravity that makes light things go up! It’s that things move outwards on straight line paths, that’s the product of a ‘centrifugal’ effect due to inertia. Sorry to burst your tea bag! The liquid in that container is heavier than the air or can be said to have a greater inertia. So, when the bag spins it moves outwards and the bubbles move inwards. But actually there both moving in a straight line motion and it is the container which prevents them from continuing in that direction.

      @@cybermonkeys sorry to burst YOUR tea bag but there is no such thing as centrifugal force. What appears to be an outward force is simply a mass obeying Newton’s first law of motion by continuing to travel in a straight line whilst it’s frame of reference is changing direction. This is why you are ‘pushed’ against the car door when going around a corner. The car is changing direction but you are continuing to travel in a straight line.

      Sounds easier to me. Same as seeing very large bubbles in slow motion. It almost looks like the _water_ is cascading down the sides of bubble, being pulled down by gravity. It gets to the bottom and 'fills up' the bottom of the bubble like a bottle and more water above the bubble is falling away from top if.

      Correct and the space station also has a huge forward velocity vector and inertia, which keeps it in a ‘free fall’ motion around the earth. Keep this up and I’ll have to put this in your school report.

      @@arnesaknussemm2427 Thanks for asking so politely. And to be honest with you…we are both correct. The space station does have inertia and a forward velocity vector and wants to continue with a straight line motion and it is gravity, which acts as the outside force causing it to fall at the same rate around the earth in an orbit, because it’s being pulled towards the centre of the Earth. The centrifugal and centripetal effects on the space station are balanced.

      "you can see the liquid disperses throughout" is what he says, and he didn't screw up. "throughout" here means what it commonly means and implies nothing about a distribution from center to periphery. The fact that the liquid has the (much) greater volume doesn't prevent it from being the element of dispersion in view.

      Well it's not only not true, it's ridiculous. Why would they have a standard, sealed, bag--in this case of water and another (immiscible) fluid--aboard ISS? If it were for this demo, why would it have such a weird shape, instead of say a foot-long tube of water with some kind of oil in it?
      It's just a bag of tea; That's how they are packaged for use in the station.
      They probably leave a bubble of air in them for a bit of compressibility/give. A margin of safety.

    I am not a phyisit nor apparently know how to spell it. But I have cause to think as to what effect your experiment would show if it were done in a non atmospheric condition such as out side the craft vs inside where there is an atmospher. The bubbles are a gas, the liquid is a solid. Thus I would think it might make a difference when done in an atmospheric enviorment vs an enviroment not having an atmospher.
    I reckon my question is, does a artificial vaccume regardless of how good the device is at causing a vaccum, still have an atomospher, because in the vaccum of space there isn't an atmospher.
    Like I said, I'm not a phyisit nor do I apparently know how to spell it.

      Liquid isn't solid, unless it freezes, which it probably would in space.
      The bag would bulge due to the lack of atmospheric pressure, but assuming you can spin it and it's not frozen, the centripetal force of the liquid still pushes the air to the center.

    • @wmgthilgen
      @wmgthilgen 2 роки тому

      @@RobertEmery If I understand basic physics correctly, bubbles are gas, their neither a solid nor a liquid. In a controlled atmospheric craft. The entire contents including the gas is the same tempature. However, out side it the bag was not moving, would cause one side to be hot while the other was cold. Meaning the bubble on one side would be frozen in place, while the bubble on the hot side wouldn't be. But if the bag is rotating, the hot side and cold side would be constantly changing. How would that effect the bubbles. When the bubble are frozen in place one moment and not the next.

      You're an idiot. He's an astronaut, of course he knows what torque is. Notice at 0:49, he use both hands to set the spin, but inevitably one hand will spin it slightly harder than the other, and later in the video he is trying to correct this by spinning with only one hand, to bring it back into view. He even says so at 1:49.

    No reason to. I just got done with the calcuations, and I'm kind of wrong about what I said.
    However, if you were in a rotating space station, even a very large one, the force you would experience wouldn't be exactly the same as gravity though. If it was VERY large you probably wouldn't be able to detect the difference easily though.
