When wet clothes are placed inside a spin dryer and it is switched on, the drum in which the clothes are placed rotates very fast. This makes the water go out of the clothes due to a force called centrifugal force.

Could you spin your clothes in a spin dryer completely dry?

A spin dryer removes excess water from clothes through centrifugal force, but it may not completely dry them. To ensure thorough drying, it's recommended to follow up with air drying or using a traditional clothes dryer.


What is wrong if the wrong if the spin dryer is still leaving the clothes dripping wet?

Firstly, verify that the dryer is still getting hot. Are the clothes coming out hot and wet, or cold and wet? If they are coming out hot and wet, throughly clean your lint trap, and verify that your dryer vent hose is not kinked, crushed, or obstructed in any way. If they are coming out cold and wet, consult a repairman to service your dryer's heating element.


Would a blow dryer work in a place with no atmosphere?

No. A blow dryer sucks in air, heat/cools it, then blows it back out again. Without atmosphere, there is no air, and without air, there is no blow dryer.


Why is the spin dryer in a washing machine a type centrifuge?

The spin dryer in a washing machine is a type of centrifuge because it uses centrifugal force to separate water from the clothes during the spinning cycle. The rapid spinning motion creates a centrifugal force that pushes water outwards, allowing it to be expelled through the machine's drain while the clothes remain relatively dry.


Some housewives spin dryers to dry the clothes Explain how water is removed from the clothes in a spin dryer?

Because of directional inertia of matter. When the dryer rotates water particles in the clothes are experiencing centrifugal force and they are moving away from the centre more distant than the clothe itself. So water is removed and clothes get dried easily.
