A centrifuge is used to test space pilots. The centrifuge spins with a centripetal acceleration of 6.54 g. If the length of the

centrifuge's arm is 15 m, what is the speed of the centrifuge?

The centripetal acceleration is calculated using the following rule:
C = (v^2) / (r)
where:
C is the centripetal acceleration = 6.54 g = 6.54 * 9.8 = 64.092 m/sec^2
v is the speed of the centrifuge that we want to calculate
r is the radius of radius (length of centrifuge arm) = 15 m

Substitute with the givens to get the speed as follows:
64.092 = (v^2) / 15
v^2 = 961.38
v = 31.006 m/sec

The formula for centripital acceleration is:
a= v²/r, where v is the speed of the object, and r is the length from the center of the system. 

a is in g, rather than m/s/s, so we convert:
6.54g * 9.8m/s²/1g = 64.09m/s²

Plugging in our values: 
64.09 = v²/15                      Multiply both sides by 15
961.38 = v²
v = 31m/s

A 3.5 x 10-6 C charge is located 0.28 m from a 2.8 x 10-6 C charge. What is the magnitude of the force being exerted on the smal
Margarita [4]
The electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
q1 is the first charge
q2 is the second charge
r is the separation between the two charges

By substituting the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the magnitude of the force between the two charges:
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} ) \frac{(3.5 \cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(2.8 \cdot 10^{-6}N/C)}{(0.28m)^2}=1.2 N

12) A neutral atom has two, eight, eight electrons in its first, second, and third energy levels.This information ________.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Option C

The information given in the question tells us about the number of electrons in an atom and also the number of shells in the atom. So, we will come to know about the atomic number, size and chemical properties of the atom. But we cannot determine atomic mass. Atomic mass is a function of number of neutrons and protons.

Based on this electric field diagram, which statement best compares the charge of A with B?
lilavasa [31]

Based on this electric field diagram, the statement which best compares the charge of A with B is "A is negatively charged and B is positively charged. The charge on A is greater than that on B".

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The charge is quantized represented as elementary charge, about 1.602×10−19 coulombs. Their are two kinds of electric charging: positive and negative (usually transported, separately, by protons and electrons). Like charges repel each other, while attraction occurs among unlike charges. An entity without net charge is considered neutral. If a piece of matter comprises more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge, when there are fewer, it'll have a positive charge and when there are equal amounts, this will be neutral.
