The qualitative velocity change method for circular motion, Qualitative dynamics of circular motion, and Radial acceleration and period

Ultracentrifuge You are working in a biology lab and learning to use a new ultracentrifuge for blood tests. The specifications for the centrifuge say that a red blood cell rotating in the ultracentrifuge moves at 470 m/s and has a radial acceleration of 150,000 g’s (that is, 150,000 times 9.8 m/s2). The radius of the centrifuge is 0.15 m. You wonder if this claim is correct. Support your answer with a calculation.
