Answer #1

Angular speed the turntable is rotating at = = 30 rpm = 30 x (2/60) rad/s = 3.141 rad/s

Distance of coin 1 from the center of rotation = R1

Centripetal acceleration of coin 1 = a1

Distance of coin 2 from the center of rotation = R2

Coin 1 is placed at half the distance of coin 2.

R2 = 2R1

Centripetal acceleration of coin 2 = a2

Taking ratio of the centripetal accelerations,

Magnitude of centripetal acceleration of coin 1 is half of that of coin 2.

Suppose I have two biased coins: coin #1, which lands heads with probability 0.9999, and coin #2, which lands heads with probability 0.1. I conduct an experiment as follows. First I toss a fair coin to decide which biased coin I pick (say, if it lands heads, I pick coin #1, and otherwise I pick coin #2) and then I toss the biased coin twice. Let A be the event that the biased coin #1 is chosen, B1 the event...
