Why is it important to have a balanced centrifuge?

Physics
1 answer:
ratelena [41]4 years ago
8 0

It is important to properly balance a centrifuge because an unbalanced machine can damage the rotor, cause catastrophic damage to the machine itself, or even injure or kill lab personnel working in the room. Balancing a centrifuge involves spreading the weight of the samples across the entire rotor.

What happens to the temperature during an endothermic reaction? ANSWERS; The temperature stays constant. The temperature will de
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature will decrease (get colder).

Explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. The enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products and the sum of heat contents of reactants.

  • For an endothermic change, heat is absorbed for the reaction.
  • The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction and so is the reaction itself.
  • The right choice is that the temperature will decrease.

A rock with a mass of 6.1 kg falls 1.5 m. What potential energy does it have before the fall?
denpristay [2]

89.67J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 6.1kg

Height of fall = 1.5m

Unknown:

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy at rest or due to the position of a body.

Potential energy is mathematically expressed as;

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the rock

g is the acceleration due to gravity of the rock

h is the height of the rock

   Potential energy = 6.1 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 89.67J

A car starts from rest and increases its speed to 18 m/s in 22 seconds. What is the cars acceleration
IrinaVladis [17]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change of speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the start)

Change of speed = (18 m/s) - (0 m/s) = 18 m/s

Time for the change = 22 sec

Magnitude of acceleration = (18 m/s) / (22 sec)

<em>Magnitude of acceleration = 0.818 m/s²</em>

Two 120 Ω resistors are connected in parallel across a supply voltage of 10 VDC. What's the current in this circuit?
german

As we know that here two 120 ohm resistors are connected in parallel with the battery of voltage 10 V DC

now here we will use Ohm's law

V = i R

so here we can use above equation to find the current in each resistor

10 = i \times 120

i = \frac{10}{120}

i = 0.0833 A

so here this will be the current flow through each resistor

now the total current through both resistors will be given as

i_{total} = 0.0833 + 0.0833 = 0.167 A

How do scientist know how much the world really rotates​
kotykmax [81]
“The Smithsonian pendulum, like all pendulums, moved in accordance with Foucault’s sine law, which predicts how much a pendulum’s path will distort each day based on its latitude. Absent any exterior forces, a pendulum would swing back and forth in a single plane forever—there would be no gradual angular shift. But the Earth is rotating, so the story isn’t that simple.

Since all points on Earth’s surface rotate as a unit, it follows that those located on the wider portions of the planet—nearer to the equator—must cover more meters each second (i.e., go faster) to “keep up” with the points tracing smaller circles each day at the extreme northern and southern latitudes. Though they don’t feel it, a person standing in Quito, Ecuador, is moving with appreciably higher velocity than one in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Because each swing of a pendulum takes it from a point farther from the equator to a point nearer to the equator and vice versa, and the velocities at these points differ, the path of the pendulum is subtly distorted with every swing, gradually torqued away from its original orientation. The extent of this effect depends on where on Earth the pendulum is swinging.

At the North Pole—where small changes in latitude have big implications—the path traced by a pendulum would shift through a full 360 degrees in a mere 24 hours, explains Thompson. At the equator, meanwhile, a pendulum’s motion would not be seen to distort at all.” From the Smithsonian Magazine
