A centrifuge in a medical laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,500 rev/min, clockwise (when viewed from above). When swit

ched off, it rotates through 46.0 revolutions before coming to rest. Assuming it is constant, what is the magnitude of angular acceleration (in rad/s2)?

Answer:

The magnitude of angular acceleration is 232.38\ rad/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular velocity, \omega_i=3500\ rev/min=366.5\ rad/s

When it switched off, it comes o rest, \omega_f=0

Number of revolution, \theta=46=289.02\ rad

We need to find the magnitude of angular acceleration. It can be calculated using third equation of rotational kinematics as :

\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-(366.51)^2}{2\times 289.02}\\\\\alpha =-232.38\ rad/s^2  

So, the magnitude of angular acceleration is 232.38\ rad/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following statements concerning the nuclear force is false? O The nuclear force is attractive and not repulsive. O
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

  • The nuclear force is attractive and not repulsive.
  • The nuclear force is very weak and much smaller in relative magnitude than the electrostatic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

  • Nuclear force is the strongest existing force in the nature.
  • It has the shortest range.
  • Its main function is to hold the subatomic particles together in nature.
  • The nuclear force is created  by the exchange of pi mesons between the nucleons of an atom, but for this exchange to happen the particles must be close to one another of the order of few femtometer.
  • At about 1 femtometer the nuclear force is very strongly attractive in nature but at distance greater than 2.5 femtometer it fades away.
  • The force becomes repulsive in nature at distance less than 0.7 femtometer.
  • This force holds the likely charged protons together in the nucleus.

PLS HELP. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. PLS THIS IS WORTH 35 POINTS ON MY TEST
Nata [24]

Answer:

18m/s^2

Explanation:

Vf = Vi + at

t = distance/ average velocity

(120 + 0)/2 = 60 (average velocity)

400m/60m/s = 20/3 s

insert into first equation:

120 = 0 + a(20/3)

360 = 20a

18 = a

Desertification is a process whereby land degradation in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub humid areas results from climatic variatio
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Desertification is usually defined as the process by which a productive land is transformed into a desert. This process occurs mainly in the arid, semi-arid as well as in the dry sub-humid areas, where there occurs less amount of rainfall and presence of less or no moisture content in the air.

It is caused by various processes, such as-

  • Cutting down of trees, in order to make urban areas.
  • Lack of rainfall.
  • Overgrazing of animals.
  • Low level of groundwater.
  • Forest-fire can also lead to desertification, as the trees are burned by this process.
  • Soil erosion also is a major cause.
  • It also occurs due to changes that occur in the climate of the area.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.

Benny wonders why when he presses his finger against a map nothing happens to the map. However if he presses a thumbtack into th
anastassius [24]

Answer: The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the surface area of contact decreases.

Explanation:

Pressure measures the amount of force exerted per a given area of an object. From this definition, the surface area of the object and force applied, affects the pressure applied.

As Benny presses his finger against a map, nothing happens to the map because the force applied is affected by the increased surface area of his finger. However as he presses a thumbtack into the map using the same force the tack will probably poke a hole in the map because the small( decreased) surface area of the sharp point of the thumbtack produces a much larger pressure on the map than the area of Benny finger. I hope this helps, thanks!
