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}

Why are circuit breakers and fuses important?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

A fuse and circuit breaker both serve to protect an overloaded electrical circuit by interrupting the continuity, or the flow of electricity. ... Fuses tend to be quicker to interrupt the flow of power, but must be replaced after they melt, while circuit breakers can usually simply be reset.

When you let the air go out of a balloon the balloon moves or shoots like a rocket. Would this happen if there was no surroundin
Pie

Answer:

The balloon would still move like a rocket

Explanation:

The principle of work of this system is the Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action), object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the balloon as object A and the air inside the balloon as object B. As the air goes out from the balloon, the balloon exerts a force (backward) on the air, and as a result of Newton's 3rd law, the air exerts an equal and opposite force (forward) on the balloon, making it moving forward.

This mechanism is not affected by the presence or absence of surrounding air: in fact, this mechanism also works in free space, where there is no air (and in fact, rockets also moves in space using this system, despite the absence of air).
