A centrifuge consists of a container held at a distance of 0.20 m from its axis. When turned on, the centrifuge spins the contai

ner and its contents round at 9000 revolutions per minute. a) Find its angular velocity. b) A small mass of 10 g is placed in the drum. Work out what force will need to be provided for it to go round at that rate in a circle of radius 0.20 m. c) In which direction must that force act? d) what supplies that force to the ball? e) taking g to be 9.8N/kg, what size force will the earth supply to the ball when it is at rest on the floor?​

Hi there!

a)

We can convert 9000 rev/min to rad/sec (proper units for angular velocity) using dimensional analysis.

\frac{9000rev}{min} * \frac{min}{60 s}* \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev} = \boxed{942.48 rad/sec}

b)

For the mass to go around at this speed, we can use the rotational equivalent for centripetal force:

F_c = m\omega ^2r

Plug in the given values. Remember to convert grams to kg.

F_c = (0.01)(942.48^2)(0.20) = \boxed{1776.53 N}

c)

The force is a CENTRIPETAL force, so it must act towards the CENTER of the circle at all times.

d)

The only force working in the horizontal direction on the mass is:

\Sigma F = F_c = F_N

The normal force from the container's walls provide the centripetal force experienced by the mass.

e)

When the ball is at rest, the force supplied by the earth is equivalent to its weight:

W = mg

Plug in the givens:

W = (0.01)(9.8) = \boxed{0.098 N}

A woman pulls on a 6.00-kg crate, which in turn is connected to a 4.00-kg
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B. is subject to a smaller net force but same acceleration.

Explanation:

F = m*a

So because our force applied is constant from the women pulling on the rope which means the acceleration is the same on both the 4kg create and the 6kg create. The only thing that changes here is the mass of the creates, so there is more tension force between the women and the 6kg create then there is between the 4kg create and the 6kg. It takes less force to move the 4kg create therefore the tension force is less between the two creates.

A 5 kg projectile is fired at an angle of 25o above the horizontal. Its initial velocity is 200 m/s and just before it hits the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The change in the mechanical energy of the projectile is 43,750 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the projectile, m = 5 kg

initial velocity of the projectile, u = 200 m/s

final velocity of the projectile, v = 150 m/s

The change in mechanical energy is calculated from the principle of conservation of energy;

ΔP.E = ΔK.E

The change in potential energy is zero (0)

0 = ΔK.E

ΔK.E = K.E₁ - K.E₂

ΔK.E = ¹/₂mu² - ¹/₂mv²

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(u² - v²)

ΔK.E = ¹/₂ x 5(200² - 150²)

ΔK.E =  43,750 J

Therefore, the change in the mechanical energy of the projectile is 43,750 J

Which form of energy is due to the movement of electrons?​
larisa86 [58]

Kinetic energy is motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects. Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position gravitational energy. There are several forms of potential energy. Electrical Energy is the movement of electrical charges.

I hope this helps you.
