First, we need to find the centripetal force acting on the chocolate chip:
F = m*v^2 / r
Where:
F = centripetal force (10 N)
m = mass of the chocolate chip (0.0050 kg)
v = speed of the chocolate chip (14 m/s)
r = radius of the blender
Plugging in the values:
10 = 0.0050 * 14^2 / r
10 = 0.0050 * 196 / r
10 = 0.98 / r
r = 0.098 m
Therefore, the radius of the blender at this location is 0.098 meters.
Jessica is making a chocolate milkshake in a blender. A tiny, .0050 kg chocolate chip is rapidly spun around the inside of the container with a speed of 14 m/s, held by a centripetal force of 10 N. What is the radius of the blender at this location? (show your solution
