A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 4000 rpm. Test tubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because of the very large accelerations.

a. What is the acceleration at the end of a test tube that is 10 cm from the axis of rotation?

b. For comparison, what is the magnitude of the acceleration a test tube would experience if stopped in a 1.0-ms-long encounter with a hard floor after falling from a height of 1.0 m?
