There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted s

o that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 10.3 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 2.30 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall?

Answer:

.a = 849.05 m / s²

Explanation

The centripetal acceleration is

            a = v² / r

     

Linear and angular velocity are related

          v = w r

Angular velocity and frequency are related by

        w = 2π f

Let's replace

        a = w² r

         a = 4π² f² r

Let's reduce to the SI system

       f = 2.30 rev / s (2π rad / 1 rev) = 14.45 rad / s

       .r = 10.3 cm = 0.103 m

Let's calculate

       a = 4π² 14.45²  0.103

       .a = 849.05 m / s²

Which body exerts the force that propels the sprinter, the blocks or the sprinter?
kicyunya [14]
Answer: The blocks

Explanation:
When the sprinter takes off, he/she presses hard on the block.
The blocks apply an equal and opposite force to the sprinter according to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
The reaction force from the blocks gives the sprinter the initial acceleration to begin the race.

What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T Subscript C Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline EndFraction times 100. Efficiency equals T Subscript c Baseline minus T Subscript h Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline all times 100.

According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced forceacting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction.

Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.
Katen [24]
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>
