Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour. What is her typing speed in words per minute?

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60words/minute

Explanation:

If Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour, this can be expressed as;

1800 words = 30 minutes

To get her typing speed per minute, we will use the formula

Speed = Number of words/Time used

Typing speed = 1800/30

Typing speed = 60words/minute

Hence her typing speed in words per minute is 60words/minute

High‑speed ultracentrifuges are useful devices to sediment materials quickly or to separate materials. An ultracentrifuge spins

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Fc = 7.14N

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert everything to the same unit system:

m = 0.0031kg R = 13.1cm * 1m / 100cm = 0.131m

ω = 50000 rev/min * 1rev /( 2π rad ) * 1min / 60s = 132.63 rad/s

Now we can calculate centripetal force as:

$Fc = m * \frac{V^2}{R} = m * \frac{(\omega*R)^2}{R}=m*R*\omega ^2$

Replacing the values we get the answer:

Fc = 7.14N

A box slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ ¸ above the horizontal. The gravitational force on the box is dire

DedPeter [7]

<h2>Answer: at an angle $\theta$ below the inclined plane. </h2>

If we draw the <u>Free Body Diagram</u> for this situation (figure attached), taking into account only the gravity force in this case, we will see the weight $W$ of the block, which is directly proportional to the gravity acceleration $g$ :
