- There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 14.9 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 1.28 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall? _____ m/s^2arrow_forwardCould someone explain how to work this out?arrow_forwardA three-blade wind turbine, which spins perpendicularly to the ground, is set on a pole that is 38 m tall and completes 5 revolutions in one minute. The length of one blade is approximately 4 m long. One particular blade lies parallel to the ground before the turbine started to spin. b) What is the height of the tip of the blade after one second from start?arrow_forward

- A figure skater has a rotational inertia of 276 kg m² when spinning with arms and one leg outstretched. She is rotating at 56 rpm. When she brings in her arms, her rotational inertia becomes 85 kg m2. What is her new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? (Note: the randomization of numbers may create very unrealistic situations. Just do the math and enter what you get.) What is her new angular velocity in rad/s?arrow_forwardAn optical disk drive in your computer can spin a disk up to 10,000 rpm (about 1045 rad/s1045 rad/s).
