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

help me.. a car moves for half of its time at 80km/h nd for rest of time at 40km/h.total distance coverd is 60km..wat is averge
nalin [4]
Let's use ' t ' to represent half of the time, in hours.

The distance traveled in the first half of the time is  (80 t) km.

The distance traveled in the last half of the time is  (40 t) km.

The total distance covered is    (80t + 40t) = (120t)  km.

You said that the total distance covered was  60 km,
so ...
                             120 t  =  60 km

Divide each side by  120 :      t (half of the time) = 0.5 hour

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

                           =      (60 km)  /  (1 hour)

                           =            60 km/hr .

The demand for your hand-made skateboards, in weekly sales, is q = −3p + 700 if the selling price is $p. You are prepared to sup
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

you should sell your skateboards at $240

Explanation:

The price p to sell your skateboards for so that there is neither a shortage nor a surplus is the price that makes equal the quantity of sales and the quantity of supply, so p is equal to:

q (sales) = q (supply)

-3p + 700 = 2p - 500

700 + 500 = 2p + 3p

1200 = 5p

1200/5 = p

$240 = p

A concrete piling of 50 kg is suspended from a steel wire of diameter 1.0 mm and length 11.2 m. How much will the wire stretch?
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of concrete pilling, m = 50 kg

Diameter of wire, d = 1 mm

Radius of wire, r = 0.0005 m

Length of wire, L = 11.2

Young modulus of steel, Y=20\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2

The young modulus of a wire is given by :

Y=\dfrac{\dfrac{F}{A}}{\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}}

Y=\dfrac{F.L}{A\Delta L}

\Delta L=\dfrac{F.L}{A.Y}

\Delta L=\dfrac{50\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 11.2\ m}{\pi (0.0005\ m)^2\times 20\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2}

\Delta L=0.034\ m

So, the wire will stretch 0.034 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the required rate of return for Climax Inc., assuming that (1) investors expect a 4.0% rate of inflation in the future
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

Explanation:

given,                            

rate of inflection = 4 %

risk free rate = 3 %                      

market risk premium = 5 %                    

firm has a beta  = 2.30                                  

rate of return has averaged 15.0% over the last 5 years

now,                                                                      

Nominal risk free rate = risk free rate  + inflation

                                    = 3%  +  4%

                                   = 7%

Required rate of return = Nominal risk free rate + β (RPM)

                                       = 7%       +          2.3 x 5.0%

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

A simple model of a hydrogen atom is a positive point charge +e (representing the proton) at the center of a ring of radius a wi
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Now e is due to the ring at a

So

We say

1/4πEo(ea/ a²+a²)^3/2

= 1/4πEo ea/2√2a³

So here E is faced towards the ring

Next is E due to a point at the centre

So

E² = 1/4πEo ( e/a²)

Finally we get the total

Et= E²-E

= e/4πEo(2√2-1/2√2)

So the direction here is away from the ring
