a typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 4000 rpmrpm. test tubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because of the very large accelerations. part a what is the acceleration at the end of a test tube that is 10 cmcm from the axis of rotation?

Respuesta :

The acceleration at the end of a test tube that is 10 cmfrom the axis of rotation is 17545.9m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

What is axis of rotation ?

The line drawn through all of a rotating rigid body's fixed points, around which all of the body's other points revolve.

The relation for the centripetal acceleration is:

ac=[tex]w^{2}[/tex]R

   = 4[tex]\pi[/tex][tex]pi^{2} f^{2}[/tex]R

Where f is a  frequency  of  rotation,

R –distance from axis  of  rotation to  the end of the tube.

Numerically

ac=17545.9m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
