- 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 12.2 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 2.45 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall?

The disk accelerates at 700 rad/s^2 for 1/2s, then coasts at a steady angular velocity for another 1/2s. What is the speed of the dot at t= 1.0 s? Through how many revolutions has it turned?arrow_forwardA circular track has several concentric rings where people can run at their leisure. Phil runs on the outermost track with radius rP while Annie runs on an inner track with radius rA = 0.70 rP. The runners start side by side, along a radial line, and run at the same speed in a counterclockwise direction. How many revolutions has Annie made when Annie's and Phil's velocity vectors point in opposite directions for the first time?arrow_forward
- A ferris wheel begins at rest. During the first part of the journey, the ferris wheel accelerates through 4 rotations at a rate of 0.0500 rad/s2. During the second part of the journey, the ferris wheel then remains at its top speed for 14 rotations. Finally, during the third part of the journey, the ferris wheel slows down to rest over 3 rotations. What is the ferris wheel's top angular speed? How long does it take for the ferris wheel to accelerate from rest up to its top speed? How long the ferris wheel remain at its top speed for?
