A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 4000 rpm. Testtubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because ofthe

very large accelerations.
Part A) What is the acceleration at the end of a test tubethat is 10 cm from the axis of rotation?
Part B) For comparison, what is the magnitude of theacceleration a test tube would experience if dropped from a heightof 1.0 m and stopped in a 1.0-ms-long encounter with a hardfloor?

Answer:

A)  a_c = 1.75 10⁴ m / s², B) a = 4.43 10³ m / s²

Explanation:

Part A) The relation of the test tube is centripetal

               a_c = v² / r

the angular and linear variables are related

              v = w r

we substitute

               a_c = w² r

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              w = 4000 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60s) = 418.88 rad / s

               r = 1 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.10 m

let's calculate

              a_c = 418.88² 0.1

               a_c = 1.75 10⁴ m / s²

part B) for this part let's use kinematics relations, let's start looking for the velocity just when we hit the floor

as part of rest the initial velocity is zero and on the floor the height is zero

                v² = v₀² - 2g (y- y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2 9.8 (0 + 1)

                v =√19.6

                v = -4.427 m / s

now let's look for the applied steel to stop the test tube

                v_f = v + a t

                0 = v + at

                a = -v / t

                a = 4.427 / 0.001

                a = 4.43 10³ m / s²

Which of the diagrams below illustrates sound waves generated by a siren
stepladder [879]

Diagram D. shows the sound waves generated by a siren

that is moving with constant speed to the left.

A sound wave is the sample of disturbance caused by the movement of strength journeying thru a medium because it propagates far away from the supply of the sound. Sound waves are created by using object vibrations and bring strain waves, for example, a ringing cellular phone.

Sound waves fall into three classes: longitudinal waves, mechanical waves, and strain waves. keep studying to find out what qualifies them as such. Longitudinal Sound Waves A longitudinal wave is a wave wherein the movement of the medium's debris is parallel to the course of the energy transport. Sound propagates via air or different mediums as a longitudinal wave, in which the mechanical vibration constituting the wave occurs along the direction of propagation of the wave.

(A) If an atom of uranium-238( U ) undergoes alpha decay, what daughter isotope is produced? (B) If this radioisotope from (A) t
salantis [7]

Answer:

Th-234, Pa-234

Explanation:

In alpha decay, 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost.  So U-238 would become Th-234.

In beta decay, one neutron is turned into a proton.  So Th-234 would become Pa-234.
