Harry Potter decides to take Pottery 101 as an elective to satisfy his arts requirement at Hog warts. He sets some clay (m = 3.25 kg) on the edge of a pottery wheel (r = 0.600 m), which is initially motionless. He then begins to rotate the wheel with a uniform acceleration, reaching a final angular speed of 2.400 rev/s in 3.00 s. a. What is the speed of the clay when the initial 3.00 s has passed? b. What is the centripetal acceleration of the clay initially and when the initial 3.00 s has passed? c. What is the magnitude of the constant tangential acceleration responsible for starting the clay in circular motion?
Keratinocytes are the most common cells in the skins outer layer. As these approximately circular cells migrate across a wound during the healing process, they roll in a way that reduces the frictional forces impeding their motion. (a) Given a cell body diameter of 1.00 105 m (10 m), what minimum angular speed would be required to produce the observed linear speed of 1.67 107 m/s (10 m/min)? (b) How many complete revolutions would be required for the cell to roll a distance of 5.00 103 m? (Because of slipping as the cells roll, averages of observed angular speeds and the number of complete revolutions are about three times these minimum values.)
