a) 0.0028 rad/s

b) 23.68 m/s^2

c) 0 m/s^2

Explanation:

When an object is in circular motion, the angular speed of the object is the rate of change of its angular position. In formula, it is given by

$\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

t is the time interval

The angular speed of an object in circular motion can also be written as

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$ (1)

where

v is the linear speed of the object

r is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in this problem we have:

v=29,960 km/h is the linear speed, converted into m/s,

v=8322 m/s

$r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius of the orbit

Subsituting into eq(1), we find the angular speed of the spaceship:

$\omega=\frac{8322}{2.925\cdot 10^6}=0.0028 rad/s$

When an object is in circular motion, its direction is constantly changing, therefore the object is accelerating; in particular, there is a component of the acceleration acting towards the centre of the orbit: this is called centripetal acceleration, or radial acceleration.

The magnitude of the radial acceleration is given by

$a_r=\omega^2 r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in the problem, we have

$\omega=0.0028 rad/s$ is the angular speed

$r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius of the orbit

Substittuing into the equation above, we find the radial acceleration:

$a_r=(0.0028)^2(2.925\cdot 10^6)=23.68 m/s^2$

When an object is in circular motion, it can also have a component of the acceleration in the direction tangential to its motion: this component is called tangential acceleration.

The tangential acceleration is given by

$a_t=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in the linear speed

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

In this problem, the spaceship is moving with constant linear speed equal to

v=8322 m/s

Therefore, its linear speed is not changing, so the change in linear speed is zero:

$\Delta v=0$

And therefore, the tangential acceleration is zero as well:

$a_t=\frac{0}{\Delta t}=0 m/s^2$
