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 12 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 2.0 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall?a. 4.8 m/s²b. 19 m/s²c. 27 m/s²d. 9.8 m/s²e. 6.0 m/s²

Answer:

Option B

$a=19 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, $\omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061$

We know that speed, $v=r\omega$

Centripetal acceleration, $a=\frac {v^{2}}{r}$ and substituting $v=r\omega$ we obtain that

$a=r\omega^{2}$

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061 and r for 0.12

$a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}$

Rounded off, $a=19 m/s^{2}$

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

You are performing an experiment that requires the highest possible energy density in the interior of a very long solenoid. Whic

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

Explanation:

As we know that energy density depends on the strength of the magnetic field. The magnetic field strength depends on the no of turns of the solenoid and the current passing through it. The greater the number of turns per unit length, greater the current passing through it, more stronger the magnetic field is. As

B = μ₀nI

n = no of turns

I = current through the wire

So the right options are

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid
