1 WebAssign Ch. 8 Regular Physics (Homework) Current Score : 26.7 / 40 Due : Monday, October :00 PM MDT ISAAC PARKER Physics, section T1_P5_Carlson, Instructor: Sarah Carlson /1.9 points Previous Answers GPhys09 8.AC.063. What does a spin cycle of a washing machine do? Explain in terms of the forces on the clothes and water. The spinning motion of the washing machine creates an outward centripetal force the clothes, water and lint are forced away from the center (the strange pole in the center of the drum), also known as the axis rotation. The water (being a liquid) is able to flow out of the cute little holes in the sides of the barrel. Unfortunately, the clothes aren't able to fly through the /1.9 points Previous Answers GPhys09 8.MC.048. A bicycle wheel rotates at a constant 20 rev/min. Is its angular velocity decreasing, increasing, or constant? decreasing increasing constant /1.9 points Previous Answers GPhys09 8.MC.050. Do all parts of Earth rotate at the same rate? Explain some parts are further from the point of rotation than others, but they are all moving at the same rate they move a number of degrees in a given time.

6 nothing G would be halved G would be doubled G would be quadrupled /1.9 points Previous Answers GPhys09 7.MC.028. What happens to the gravitational force between two masses when the distance between the masses is doubled? The force is unchanged. The force is quartered. The force is doubled. The force is halved. 12. /1.9 points GPhys09 8.MP.078. A washing machine's two spin cycles are 320 rev/min and 550 rev/min. The diameter of the drum is 0.43 m.

9 /1.9 points Previous Answers GPhys09 6.CR.092. Plot the data in the table below on a position time graph. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this graph.) Find the average velocity in the time interval between 0.0 s and 4.0 s. 7.5 m/s 21. 2/2 points Previous Answers GPhys09 6.MC.036. (a) Can you go around a curve with zero acceleration? Explain. Speed is a rate (m/s). Velocity is a speed with a definite direction. When this Velocity is changed, we measure the change as Acceleration. Acceleration is when either the speed element of Velocity is changed, or the direction element changes, or both. (b) Can you go around a curve with constant acceleration? Explain.

10 , because if it's pointing 20 degrees at one time and 25 at another (it's turning) then it's acceleration values would be different because the direction is different in both cases.
