How fast (in rpm) must a centrifuge rotate if a particle 6.50 cm from the axis of rotation is to experience an acceleration of 120000 g's? If the answer has 4 digits or more, enter it without commas, e.g. 13500. Express your answer using three significant figures.
In the very Dutch sport of ducth-dude-on-a-pole, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 70kg vaulter is moving at 3.5m/s and is 5.0m from the bottom end of the pole. If the athlete is holding on the pole at its half-way point, what is the tangential speed of the pole’s upper end?

The coordinate axes shown represent the principal centroidal axes of inertia of a 3000-lb space probe whose radii of gyration are kx = 1.375 ft,ky = 1.425 ft, and Kz = 1.250 ft. The probe has no angular velocity when a 5-oz meteorite strikes one of its solar panels at point A with a velocity v0 = (2400 ft/s)i- (3000 ft/s)j + (3200 ft/s)k relative to the probe. Knowing that the meteorite emerges on the other side of the panel with no change in the direction of its velocity, but with a speed reduced by 20 percent, determine the final angular velocity of the probe.
