Answer: v= 195.2 m/s

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration acts on the bottom of the test tube trying to take it closer to the axis of rotation, and it is defined by the following expression:

ac = v² / r

We know that ac = 5.4. 10⁴ . g = 5.4.10⁴.9.8 m/s²

Expressing r in m ⇒ r = 0.072 m.

So, the only unknown that remains is v, which is the linear speed of the bottom of the test tube, which we want to find out:

v = √ac. r = √5.4.10⁴.9.8 m/s². 0.072 m = 195.2 m/s

Urgent please help!<br> What are non-ferrous metal and ferrous metal?
m_a_m_a [10]
In metallurgy, non-ferrous metals are metals or alloys that do not contain iron in appreciable amounts. Generally more costly than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are used because of desirable properties such as low weight, higher conductivity, non-magnetic property or resistance to corrosion

Statement 1: All balls hit the ground at the same time. Statement 2: All balls hit the ground with the same force. Statement 3:
laiz [17]

Answer:

Statement 1: All balls hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

When there is no resistance of air, the acceleration due to gravity experienced by all the bodies are same. So for falling bodies, neglecting the air resistance, the falling object will be weightless and therefore all the objects will hit the ground at the same time when there is nor air resistance and the objects are considered to be falling in vacuum.
