Short Answer

Is there a real force that throws water from clothes during the spin cycle of a washing machine? Explain how the water is removed.

In washing machine water doesn’t experience any force but cloth does that is centrifugal force which work on cloths.

Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS :
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1: Definition of water

Water is a colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that makes up the oceans, lakes, rivers, and rain, as well as the fluids that keep living beings alive.

Step 1: Determining force

Centrifugal Force is a force (inertial by nature) that acts on the object which is observed in a rotating frame of reference.

Example: motion of stone tied on a string, motion of the earth is generally on them centrifugal force works.

Step 2: Explaining removal of water

In washing, machine water doesn’t experience any force but cloth does that is a centrifugal force which works on cloths.

Cloth move round in spin or circle but water remains straight. Through-hole to drum and this gets clothes to wash.

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at Earth due to the Sun. (c) Take the ratio of the Moon’s acceleration to the Sun’s and comment on why the tides are predominantly due to the Moon in spite of this number.

What is the ideal banking angle for a gentle turn of \(1.20{\rm{ km}}\) radius on a highway with a \(105{\rm{ km}}/{\rm{h}}\) speed limit (about \(65{\rm{ mi}}/{\rm{h}}\)), assuming everyone travels at the limit?

Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in Figure. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is \({\bf{15}}.{\bf{0}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}\) and the downward acceleration of the car is \({\bf{1}}.{\bf{50g}}\)?.

(a) What is the radius of a bobsled turn banked at 75.0°and taken at 30.0 m/s, assuming it is ideally banked? (b) Calculate the centripetal acceleration. (c) Does this acceleration seem large to you?

If centripetal force is directed toward the centre, why do you feel that you are ‘thrown’ away from the centre as a car goes around a curve? Explain.
