For physics show-and-tell, you want to impress the class by sipping water through a long straw. If you hold the straw vertically, determine the length of the longest straw that you could, in principle, drink from in this manner. mAdditional Materials Show My Work (Optional)

Space vehicles traveling through earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. the resulting charge buildup can damage electronic components and disrupt operations. suppose a spherical metallic satellite 1.3 m in diameter accumulates 3.0 µc of charge in one orbital revolution. (a) find the resulting surface charge density. (b) calculate the magnitude of the electric field just outside the surface of the satellite, due to the surface charge.

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? ( be thorough on your answer)
