Spin cycles of washing machines remove water from clothes by producing a large radial acceleration at the rim of the cylindrical

tub that holds the water and clothes. Suppose that the diameter of the tub in a typical home washing machine is 50 cm.
1.What is the rotation rate, in rev/min, of the tub during the spin cycle if the radial acceleration of points on the tub wall is 3g?
2.At this rotation rate, what is the tangential speed in m/s of a point on the tub wall?

Given Information:

Diameter of the cylindrical tub = d = 50 cm = 0.50 m  

Acceleration = α = 3g

Required Information:

1. Rotation rate in rev/min = ω = ?

2. Tangential speed in m/s = v = ?

Answer:

1. ω = 103.5 rev/min

2. v = 2.71 m/s

Explanation:

We know that centripetal acceleration is given by

α = ω²r

Where ω is the angular speed or rotation rate and r is the radius.

The relation between diameter and radius is given by

r = D/2

r = 0.50/2

r = 0.25 m

Since it is given that the acceleration is equal to 3g where g is the gravitational acceleration 9.81 m/s².

α = ω²r

3g = ω²r

ω² = 3g/r

ω = √(3g/r)

ω = √(3*9.81/0.25)

ω = 10.84 rad/s

To convert rad/s into rev/s divide it by 2π

ω = 10.84/2π

ω = 1.752 rev/s

To convert rev/s into rev/min multiple it by 60

ω = 1.752*60

ω = 103.5 rev/min

Therefore, the rotation rate is 103.5 rev/min

2. The tangential speed can be found using

v = ωr

Where ω is the rotation rate in rad/s and r is the radius.

v = 10.84*0.25

v = 2.71 m/s

Therefore, the tangential speed is 2.71 m/s

A parallel plate capacitor fully charged to voltage V is connected to the battery (the voltage on the plates remains fixed). If
Papessa [141]

Charge will decreases.

A parallel plate capacitor when it is fully charged to voltage V is given as:

                    C = Q/V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with two plates of Area A separated by distance d and no dielectric material between plates is

                    C = ε₀ A /d

since from above equation it shows C is proportional to Q and also C is inversely proportional to distance d.

So, ATQ when d increases C will decrease which in result decreases charge on the capacitor.

Thus,  Charge will decrease.

When an object like a tree is illuminated by the sun, and you are looking toward the tree, light rays leave the object _________
Dima020 [189]

Objects absorb and reflect light differently depending on their physical characteristics, such as their shape or composition. Thanks to the reflection we can see the objects. Reflection can be defined as the change of direction of a wave, which, when in contact with the separation surface between two changing means, returns to the point where it originated. When the light illuminates the object, such as the tree, the rays of light will disperse in all directions allowing observation.

The correct answer is A. From every point on the surface of the tree, and in every direction

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106hz. calculat
lakkis [162]
When it comes to wave behavior, there are parameters called wavelength and frequency. These two are related by speed of the radiowave. Radiowaves are electromagnetic waves which travels as fast as light. The wavelength is the distance while frequency is the reciprocal of time. When you multiply them both, you get the electromagnetic wave's speed. The equation is c = wavelength*frequency, where c is the speed of light equal to 3 x 10^8 m/s. 

3 x10^8 m/s = wavelength/104.9 x 10^6 Hz   (Hertz is 1/s)
wavelength = 2.86 meters

The gravitational attraction between two masses of 3kg that are separated by a distance of 1cm is
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

6.003×10¯⁶ N

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 1 cm to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

1 cm = 1 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

1 cm = 0.01 m

Finally, we shall determine the gravitational attraction. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass 1 (M₁) = 3 Kg

Mass 2 (M₂) = 3 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 0.01 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 3 × / 0.01²

F = 6.003×10¯¹⁰ / 1×10¯⁴

F = 6.003×10¯⁶ N

Thus the gravitational attraction is 6.003×10¯⁶ N
