In the novel rendezvous with rama by arthur c. clarke, rama is a gigantic space craft of alien origins. it is detected passing jupiter's orbit at a velocity towards the sun of 100 000 km/h. upon closer observation it is found that rama is a perfect cylinder; the interior is 50 km long with a diameter of 16 km; and it rotates once every 4 minutes. (a) is rama in an orbit bound to the sun? (jupiter's orbital radius is 5au) (b) is there gravity inside rama? if so how strong is it? could there be a breathable atmosphere with this gravity? (c) access to the interior is from airlocks located at the centre of the ends of the cylinder. there are then a series of ladders and stairs from the centre to the "surface" of rama. as the astronauts climb down the ladder they feel a force perpendicular to the ladder why is this? which direction is it in? (d) halfway along the long axis of rama in the interior there is a moat along the curved surface that forms a annular or cylindrical "sea". it is 10 km wide, with only a shal- low retaining cliff on one end but a 500 m high cliff at the other end. what is the maximum acceleration possible without the sea going over the high cliff? (e) assuming that rama's skin is about 1 km thick and that it's made out of material the same density as steel, how much rotational energy is stored in the rotation?

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".

The drag force, fd, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity v is given by fd = cdaρv 2/2 where cd is a constant called the drag coefficient, a is the projected frontal area of the vehicle, and ρ is the air density. an automobile is moving at v = 80 kilometers per hour with cd = 0.28, a = 2.3 m2, and ρ = 1.2 kg/m3.
