A salad spinner is used to dry lettuce that has been recently washed. For the salad spinners to operate properly, the lettuce sh

ould be evenly distributed in the basket of the salad spinner. Otherwise, after you spin the basket and remove your hand, the salad spinner will wobble and slip on the kitchen counter.
You're curious how unbalanced your salad spinner can be before it starts to slip on the counter.
-You measure the dimensions of your salad spinner and determine that the basket has a diameter of 32.2 cm and a height of 21.0 cm.
-You place the salad spinner on a kitchen scale and determine that the mass of the salad spinner is 449 g.
-The bottom of the salad spinner is rubberized. Consulting friction coefficient tables, you estimate that the coefficient of friction between the bottom of the salad spinner and your kitchen counter is 0.83.
-You search online for information about the rotational speed of your spinner. You come across a journal article about students at Rice University who modified a salad spinner to create an inexpensive medical centrifuge to diagnose anemia in remote or low-resource areas. The article states that the maximum rotational speed of their salad spinner is 600 rpm. Your salad spinner is similar to the one featured in the article.
Suppose you place some lettuce into one side of the basket, pump the salad spinner until the basket is spinning at top speed and then remove your hand.
What is the maximum amount of lettuce that can be in the basket such that the salad spinner does not slip when you remove your hand?

Ice fishermen sit on top of frozen lakes in the winter and catch fish in the liquid water below through holes cut in the ice she
melomori [17]

Answer:

This is because below 4°c, water unlike other materials becomes less dense when it's temperature is further lowered.

Explanation:

Due to the unusual nature of water; at about 4°c, the behavior of the density of water in relation to its temperature reverses. This means that water becomes less dense as it becomes colder below 4°c. The colder parts therefore floats to the top of the water body while the warmer part sinks allowing the top to freeze and the remaining body below to remain in its liquid state.

The freezing of the top of the lake alone protects the remaining depth of water from freezing by acting as an insulator and preventing further heat loss from the water to the ambient space. If this had not been the case, and water froze all through, marine lives will freeze to death and it will be more difficult to melt the ice come the next summer.

This behavior is due to the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules.

A 21200 kg sailboat experiences an eastward force 42700 N due to the tide pushing its hull while the wind pushes the sails with
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

2.95 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The resultant force F

F=\sqrt {F_{1}^{2}+F_{2}^{2}+2F_{1}F_{2}cos135^{o}} where F_{1} is eastward force, F_{2} is force directed towards the North

F=\sqrt {42700^{2}+85000^{2}+(2*42700*85000)cos135^{o}}=62573.17217 N

F=62573.2 N

The magnitude of acceleration of sailboat is given by

a=\frac {F}{m}=\frac {62573.2}{21200}=2.95 m/s^{2}

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

A 57 kg paratrooper falls through the air. How much force is pulling him down?
just olya [345]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force = Mass * acceleration due to gravity.

Given

Mass of the paratrooper = 57kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Required

Force pulling him down

Substitute unto formula;

F = 57 * 9.81

Force = 559.17 N

Hence the force pulling him down is 559.17N

A car is traveling with speed v0 when it begins to speed up at a rate of Δv every second. After t1 seconds, the car travels with
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

d = Δv(t2-t1)

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the change of displacement with respect to time. It is expressed as shown;

Speed = change in displacement/change in time

Δv = d/Δt

d = Δv*Δt

d = ΔvΔt

Δt = t2-t1

d = Δv(t2-t1)

Δv is the change in rate of speed

Δt = change in time

The correct expression for the displacement of the car during this motion is d = Δv(t2-t1)
