ao In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates in a horizontal circle. A trainee riding in the chamber of a centrifuge rotating with a constant angular speed of 2.5 rad/s experiences a centrip- etal acceleration of 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity. In a sec- ond training exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from rest with a constant angular acceleration. When the centrifuge reaches an angular speed of 2.5 rad/s, the trainee experiences a total acceleration equal to 4.8 times the acceleration due to gravity. (a) How long is the arm of the centrifuge? (b) What is the angular acceleration of the centrifuge in the second training *70. exercise?

A particular DVD player has an operational angular velocity of 2500 rpm. We model thespinning DVD as a disk (I = 0.5 mr^2) with radius r = 0.1m, m = 40 g. A) What is the centripetal acceleration of a point on the edge of the DVD when it is spinningat operational speed? What is the tangential velocity of this point? B) We turn off the DVD player and notice it takes 3 seconds for the DVD to stop spinningdue to kinetic friction. What is the angular acceleration of the DVD? How many rotations does theDVD make before it stops? C) If we model the total kinetic friction force acting on the DVD as acting on a point r = 0.05m from the center of the disk, pointing in the direction opposite of the motion at this point, then whatis the coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the disk tray?
A “blink of an eye” is a time interval of about 150 ms for an average adult. The “closure” portion of the blink takes only about 55 ms.
