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
