A centrifuge is a common laboratory instrument that separates components of differing densities in solution. This is accomplished by spinning a sample around in a circle with a large angular speed. SUppose that after a centrifuge in a medical laboratory is turned off it continues to rotate with a constant angular deceleration for 14.5s before coming to rest.
A. If its initial angular speed was 3150 rpm, what is the magnitude of its angular deceleration?
-- The answer is 3.62 rev/s2
B. How many revolutions did the centrifuge complete after being turned off?
Thanks for the help!
