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

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The battery can supply 130 W for 11.75 h

Explanation:

In order to discover the time in wich the battery can supply this energy we need to find how much current is being drawn from it, we do that by using the equation for real power that is P = V*I, since we have V and P we can solve for I as seen bellow:

I = P/V = 130/12 = 10.834 A

We can use this value to find how many hours the power can supply said current. We do that by dividing the current capacity of the battery by the current drawn:

t = 141/12 = 11.75 h

MakcuM [25]
When a dielectric material is inserted between two plates of capacitor that are connected to a battery, you would observe that both the charge and the capacitance of the capacitor would change. This is due to the dielectric material which is able to transmit electric force.
