# Artificial Gravity - Spinning Station Questions II

In an answer to Artificial Gravity - Spinning Station Questions Vintage wrote:

A theoretical space station of radius $$900\ \mathrm m$$, doing a complete rotation every $$60\ \mathrm s$$ (in order to generate about $$1g$$ at the outer rim) would have an outer tube tangential velocity of about $$90\ \mathrm{m/s}$$. The air in the tube would have the same tangential velocity. If you were instantly instantiated in this tube, weightless, with zero tangential velocity, you would experience an air blast somewhat similar to standing on the hood of a Ferrari, screaming down the Autobahn at $$324\ \mathrm{km/h}$$.

The original question was from slight_disregard, I'm just expanding on it.

1. If I’m standing inside the station as Vintage states I’m going $$324\ \mathrm{km/h}$$ if I jump straight up at $$1\ \mathrm{m/s}$$ where do I land?

2. Does the air $$10\ \mathrm m$$ up from where I’m standing going at the same speed or does the Coriolis effect make it go slower?

3. If I get in my Ferrari and go $$324\ \mathrm{km/h}$$ opposite to the spin direction does my car become weightless?

• physics.stackexchange.com/q/7680 might cover your first question. – David Z Jun 22 '11 at 2:10
• @David Zaslavsky Thank you for clearing it up I will get the hang of it. And yes that link does clear up the 1st question. Looks like i need to go back and red stuff from before I joined. Will do. – Fortunato Jun 22 '11 at 2:14
• no problem. In fact the whole reason everything is editable is so that you don't have to worry about getting everything exactly right, you can just ask your question. – David Z Jun 22 '11 at 2:17
