´A centrifuge is a device in which a small container of material is rotated at a high speed on a circular path. Such a device is used in medical laboratories, for instance, to cause the more denIse red blood *11. cells to settle through the less dense blood serum and collect at the bot- tom of the container. Suppose the centripetal acceleration of the sample is 6.25 × 10° times as large as the acceleration due to gravity. How many revolutions per minute is the sample making, if it is located at a radius of 5.00 cm from the axis of rotation?

In a laboratory test of tolerance for high acceleration, a pilot is swung in a circle 15.0 m in diameter. It is found that the pilot blacks out when he is spun at 30.6 rpm (rev/min). At what acceleration (in SI units) does the pilot black out? acceleration: 77.01 m/s? Express this acceleration in terms of a multiple of g. acceleration as a multiple of g: 7.858 If you want to decrease the acceleration by 22.0% without changing the diameter of the circle, by what percent must you change the time for the pilot to make one circle? percent of time change:

In the movie Kill Bill the character Gogo Yubari fights with a meteor hammer, which is a bladed metal sphere on the end of a chain. Let’s assume Gogo is spinning the meteor hammer in a vertical spin, as shown below, with a radius of motion as 1 m. She spins the weapon at 18 m/s. Gogo then lets out more chain, increasing the radius to 1.62 m. What is the new velocity of her weapon?
