Problem 2: You are standing on the edge of a circular space station of radius $R = 1.1$ km. It is rotating at a constant speed $v$ such that you feel an acceleration equal to that of the Earth's ( $g = 9.8$ m/s^2). Determine the value of $v$ .

Which equation is important in this problem? Using that you're given $a_{\text{rad}}$ and $R$ , what is $v$ ?

Select all that apply.
