Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

Commercial ultracentrifuges can rotate at rates of 100,000 rev/min. As a consequence,
they can create accelerations on the order of 800,000g (g is the acceleration of gravity).
Calculate the speed of the object in such conditions and the length of the rotation axis
under such conditions.
