A steel beam is rotated in a horizontal plane to provide the centripetal acceleration for training pilots. If the pilot sits 2.19 m from the center of rotation, at what speed must he rotate in order to experience a horizontal centripetal acceleration of 65.8 m/s/s?

World class speed skaters can skate a 3,000-m course in about 4 minutes. what is their average speed for this course? a. 12.5 m/sb. 1.33 m/sc. 1.25 m/sd. 13.3 m/s

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?
