Determine the radial acceleration of the ultracentrifuge using calculations

3 0

When something moves on a round track, the guidance of the something's velocity must continually switch. A switching velocity means that there must be an acceleration. This acceleration is horizontal to the guidance of the velocity. This is said as “the radial acceleration”, or “centripetal acceleration” ("centripetal" means "center searching"). The “radial acceleration” is equal to “the square of the velocity”, divided by “the radius of the circular path of the object”. The unit of the “centripetal acceleration” is m/s².

\text { Centripetal acceleration }=\frac{\text {velocity}^{2}}{\text {radius of motion}}

\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

where,

\text { and }=\text { radial, or centripetal, acceleration }(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^2)

"v" = "velocity" (m/s) and "r" = "radius of motion of the object" (m)

A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente
inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Where, m is the mass of the ball, v is the speed and r is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}

and, v^2 = 13.16

Thus, v = 3.63 m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = \frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}} = \frac{12.56}{3.63} = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

Which does not describe the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom?
Margaret [11]
Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are true.

In choice 'b', I'm not sure what it means when it says that masses
are 'balanced'.  To me, masses are only balanced when they're on
a see-saw, or on opposite ends of a rope that goes over a pulley.

Maybe the statement means that the mass of the nucleus and the
mass of the electron cloud are equal.  This is way false.  It takes
more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of ONE proton or
neutron, and the most complex atom in nature only has 92 electrons
in it.  So there's no way that the masses of the nucleus and the electrons
in one atom could ever be anywhere near equal.
