What is the relationship between SI units and CGS unit of work ?

1 answer:

8 0

Work SI unit = joule = N*m= [kg]*[m/s^2] *[m] = kg * m^2/s^2

Work cgs unit = erg = [g][cm/s^2][cm] = g*cm^2 / s^2

Then 1 kg * m^2 / s^2 * [1000 g/kg] * [100cm/m]^2 = 10,000,000 g*cm^2/s^2

The relation is 1 joule = 10,000,000 erg or 1 erg = 10^-7 joule

Experiments using "optical tweezers" measure the elasticity of individual DNA molecules. For small enough changes in length, the

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 0.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on DNA molecule, $F=1.5\ nN=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N$

The molecule got stretched by 5 nm, $x=5\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Let k is the spring constant of that DNA molecule. It can be calculated using the Hooke's law. It says that the force acting on the spring is directly proportional to the distance as :

$F=-kx$

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N}{5\times 10^{-9}\ m}$

k = 0.3 N/m

So, the spring constant of the DNA molecule is 0.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the slope of the line plotted below?<br> A. 1.33<br> B. -1.33<br> C. -0.6<br> D. 0.6

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

C. -0.6

Explanation:

Line is passing through the points ( - 3, 1) & (2, - 2)

Slope of line

$= \frac{ - 2 - 1}{2 - ( - 3)} = \frac{ - 3}{2 + 3} = \frac{ - 3}{5} = - 0.6 \\$

A block oscillating up and down on a spring comes to the top of its path, where it is momentarily at rest. At the instant it is

True [87]

Opposite to the direction of the velocity which led it to its current position.

Explanation:

The direction of momentum when a vertically oscillating block comes to the rest momentarily will be opposite to the direction of the velocity that it has just followed to reach reach its current position.

The direction of change in momentum at the bottom will be upwards and at the top will be downwards.

The change in momentum is mathematically defined as:

$\Delta P=m.v_f-m.v_i$

where:

$m=$ mass of the block

$v_f=$ final velocity of the block

$v_i=$ initial velocity of the block

When the block comes to rest it is due to the result of continuously decreasing velocity.
