A centrifuge is a device in which a small container of material is rotated at a high speed on a circular path. Such a device is used in medical laboratories, for instance, to cause the more dense red blood cells to settle through the less dense blood serum and collect at the bottom of the container. Suppose the centripetal acceleration of the sample is 4.87 x 10 times as large as the acceleration due to gravity. How many revolutions per minute is the sample making, if it is located at a radius of 5.18 cm from the axis of rotation? Number Units

A 124-mm-diameter pipe enlarges to a 139-mm-diameter pipe. At section 1 of the smaller pipe, the density of gas in steady flow is 221.912 kilograms per meter cube, and the velocity is 23 meter per second; at section 2 of the larget pipe, the velocity is 15 meter per second. Find the density (in kilograms per meter cube) of the gas at section 2. Round off to three decimal places.
A paper airplane is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 18 m/s. The plane is in the air for 7.43 s before coming to stand still on the ground. (Suppose, the planes fly horizontally without losing any altitude.) Calculate the acceleration of the plane?
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 29 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.15 × 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. a. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.)

This most likely is made to be a probelm about mx''+bx'+kx=f(t) m = mass b = friction k = spring constant 4. A mass weighing four pounds stretches a spring 24 in. Suppose the mass is atequilibrium and is set into motion with a velocity of 6 inches per second. The mass is in a mediumwhere friction is small, and we assume it is zero. Note that the acceleration due to gravity near theearth’s surface where the experiment takes place can be taken as 32 ft/s2.(a) Suppose that in addition to the conditions described above, a hammer strikes the mass everyπ/2 seconds starting at t = 0. A delta function with impulse of 1 pound-second models theforce of each blow to the mass. Find the function x(t) for the displacement from equilibrium infeet of the mass at time t in seconds. Express x(t) as a piecewise defined function without the use ofunit step or Heaviside functions and such that in each time window it is a different multiple of the samesinusoidal function.(b) Now assume the same spring-mass…

While driving along a highway at 80 km/h, a 15-m long truck driving at 60 km/h is exactly 10 m ahead ofyou. If your car is 5.0 m long, what acceleration is necessary if you wish to pass the truck in 3.0 s? With thisacceleration, what will your speed be just as the back end of your car passes the front end of the truck?
Fast pls i will give u like for sure solve this question correctly in 5 min pls Consider a solid bar of length L with variable cross-sectional area given by A(x) , where x ∈ [0, L] is distance along the bar. If the sides of the bar are insulated and if A(x) varies slowly, it is reasonable to make an approximation in which the heat flows only in the x direction. Consider the rate of change of the total thermal energy between arbitrary positions x = a and b to derive a heat equation for the bar in terms of the temperature u(x, t) . You may assume the density, heat capacity and thermal conductivity are constant (i.e. constant thermal properties) and that there is no heat source.
A fluid flows through a pipe and exits into a container that sits on some scales. At the beginning of the pipe the velocity is 6m/s After 156s, the scale shows 7733N. The pipe outlet diameter is 0.1m, and is four times greater than the inlet. Determine the density of a fluid
Hi please help me answer this with drawing, thank you. Plot a displacement diagram for a body that is to rise and fall as follows; rise 1 in. in 4 seconds with uniform acceleration, rise 1 in. in 4 sec. with uniform retardation, rest 6 seconds, fall 1 ¼ in. in 6 sec with harmonic motion, rise ½ in. in 3 sec with uniform velocity, fall 1 ¼ in. at once, and rest 4 sec.. Plot displacement as ordinates full size and the time as abscissas to a scale of 1 in. = 4 sec.
A group of students designed a model drone with a scaling of 1:20 and tested it in a wind tunnel. The wind tunnelhas a flow conditioning system that can produce a mean velocity of 70 m/s, and the drag force measured at this velocityis 350 N. If the drone in real size should operate at 35 m/s,a. determine the pressure inside the wind tunnel,b. determine the drag force that is acting on the real size drone.
