You are working in a biology lab and learning to use a new ultracentrifuge for blood tests. The specifications for the centrifug

e say that a red blood cell rotating in the ultracentrifuge moves at 470 m/s and has a radial acceleration of 150,000 g's (that is, 150,000 times 9.8 m/s2). The radius of the centrifuge is 0.15 m. You wonder if this claim is correct.

Answer:

Yes, correct

Explanation:

velocity, v = 470 m/s

radius, r = 0.15 m

The radial acceleration is the centripetal acceleration which always acts towards the centre of the circular centrifuge.

The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by

a =\frac{v^{2}}{r}

a =\frac{470^{2}}{0.15}

a = 1472666.667

a = 150272.1 g

According to the question, we can get the acceleration as mentioned. So the claim is correct.

Answer:

no, the claim is not correct

Explanation:

You are working in a biology lab and learning to use a new ultracentrifuge for blood tests. The specifications for the centrifuge say that a red blood cell rotating in the ultracentrifuge moves at 470 m/s and has a radial acceleration of 150,000 g's (that is, 150,000 times 9.8 m/s2). The radius of the centrifuge is 0.15 m. You wonder if this claim is correct.

centripetal force is the force that is needed to keep an object undergoing a circular motion in a circular path .

a centripetal force is responsible for centripetal acceleration

a=v^2/r

a=470^2/0.15

a=1472666.66m/s^2

for the radial acceleration

150000*9.8

1470000m/s^s

the  two differ by

da=1472666.66m/s^2-1470000m/s^2

da=2666.66m/s^2

therefore the claim is not correct

Location C is 0.02 m from a small sphere which has a charge of 3 nanocoulombs uniformly distributed on its surface. Location D i
kkurt [141]

The change in potential along a path from C to D due to a small charged sphere is 900 V.

Given:

Charge, Q = 3 nC = 3 × 10⁻⁹ C

Distance between the sphere and point C, r₁ = 0.02 m

Distance between the sphere and point D, r₂ = 0.06 m

Calculation:

We know that the electric potential is given as:

V = k Q/r   - (1)

where, V is the electric potential

            k is Coulomb's force constant

            Qis the charge on the  sphere

            r is the  separation distance

The electric potential at point C due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₁ = k Q/r₁

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.02 m)]

   = 1350 V

The electric potential at point D due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₂ = k Q/r₂

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.06 m)]

   = 450 V

Now, the change in potential along the path from C to D can be calculated as:

ΔV = V₂ - V₁

     = 450 V - 1350 V

     = -900 V

The negative sign indicates that the work is done against the electric field in moving the charge from C to D.

Therefore, the change in potential along a path from C to D is 900 V against the direction of the electric field.

What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 55.0 μs ?
Komok [63]
Electromagnetic radiation is an energy that is known as light. so electromagnetic radiation will have the same speed as the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8 m/s. so the distance it travel at 55 x 10^-6 s is:
D = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) (  55 x 10^-6 s )
D = 16500 m

Michael's house is 5.0 km away from his school. How long would it take him to go ti school, riding a bus, if its velocity is 25
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

12 mins

Explanation:

The distance covered is 5 km, divide this by 25 to get the fraction of an hour it takes. Doing this you get .2, times this by 60 min (1 hour) to get how many mins it takes
