m/s
(b) the end of the race
m/s

Astudent creates a model of a closed ecosystem by filling a glass tank half full with water, then adding 10 snails and two small aquatic plants. the next day, all the snails are dead. what is the most likely cause of their death?

Positrons are spontaneously emitted from the nuclei of

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples?
