Final answer:
To calculate the centripetal acceleration and linear speed of a grindstone's edge, we apply physics formulas using the provided radius and rotational speed, converting rotational speed into linear speed before computing acceleration.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculations for a Grindstone's Centripetal Acceleration and Linear Speed
To solve for the centripetal acceleration and linear speed of a grindstone's edge, we must use the given radius and rotational speed. The grindstone in question has a radius of 7.50 cm and rotates at 6500 revolutions per minute (rev/min).
Centripetal Acceleration (a)
The formula for centripetal acceleration at the edge of a rotating object is a = (v^2)/r, where v is the linear speed and r is the radius. Since we have the rotational speed in rev/min, we first convert this to meters per second (m/s) by using the radius and the fact that 1 rev equals 2π radians.
6500 rev/min × (1 min/60 s) × (2π radians/1 rev) × (0.75 m/1 rad) = v m/s
Now, we can calculate the centripetal acceleration and convert to g, where 1g = 9.8 m/s².
Linear Speed (v)
The linear speed is found by v = r ω, where ω is the angular velocity in radians per second. Using the conversion from revolutions per minute to radians per second:
v = 0.075 m × ω rad/s
These calculations detail how to approach the problem using the relationships between linear speed, rotational speed, and centripetal force. Note that actual calculation results are not provided here due to a policy of guiding the student through the process rather than giving direct answers.
