That's a description of WORK in Physics.

The correct option is A) work.

Work is said to be done by a force when a force is exerted on an object and the the object on which the force is exerted moves in the direction of the force.

The amount of work done is given by the product of the force and the displacement made by the object.

Option (B) is incorrect, since Watt is the unit of power.

Option (C) is wrong, since joule is the unit of work or energy.

Option (D) is wrong, since power is the rate at which work is done.

Work done= ________ transferred

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Work done= Energy transferred

Explanation:

Work is the transfer of energy. In physics we say that work is done on an object when you transfer energy to that object. If you put energy into an object, then you do work on that object (mass).

Explain why air masses do not mix

kati45 [8]

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find th

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. $\rm -1.49\ m/s^2.$

b. $\rm 50.49\ m.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .

The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3\cos(0.5\ t ))\\=3(-0.5\sin(0.5\ t.))\\=-1.5\sin(0.5\ t).$

At time t = 3 seconds,

$\rm a=-1.5\sin(0.5\times 3)=-1.49\ m/s^2.$

<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>

The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.

$\rm v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}.\\\therefore dr = vdt\Rightarrow \int dr=\int v\ dt.$

For the time interval of 2 seconds,

$\rm \int\limits^2_0 dr=\int\limits^2_0 v\ dt\\r(t=2)-r(t=0)=\int\limits^2_0 3\cos(0.5\ t)\ dt$

The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,

$\Delta r=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\ t)}{0.05} \right )\limits^2_0\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\times 2)-sin(0.5\times 0)}{0.05} \right )\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(1.0)}{0.05} \right )\\=50.49\ m.$

It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.

A solenoid coil with 22 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 340 turns. The inner solenoid is 25.0 cm long an

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

a) 1.34*10^-8 W

b) 1.18*10^-5 H

c) 20mV

Explanation:

a) To find the average magnetic flux trough the inner solenoid you the following formula:

$\Phi_B=BA=\mu_oNIA$

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^-7 T/A

N: turns of the solenoid = 340

I: current of the inner solenoid = 0.100A

A: area of the inner solenoid = pi*r^2

r: radius of the inner solenoid = 2.00cm/2=1.00cm=10^-2m

You calculate the area and then replace the values of N, I, mu_o and A to find the magnetic flux:

$A=\pi(10^{-2}m)^2=3.141510^{-4}m^2\\\Phi_B=(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(340)(0.100A)(3.1415*10^{-4}m^2)=1.34*10^{-8}W\\$

the magnetic flux is 1.34*10^{-8}W

b) the mutual inductance is given by:

$M=\mu_o N_1 N_2 \frac{A_2}{l}$

N1: turns of the outer solenoid = 22

N2: turns of the inner solenoid

A_2: area of the inner solenoid

l: length of the solenoids = 25.0cm=0.25m

by replacing all these values you obtain:

$M=(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(340)(22)\frac{3.14*10^{-4}m^2}{0.25m}=1.18*10^{-5}H$

the mutual inductance is 1.18*10^{-5}H

c) the emf induced can be computed by using the mutual inductance and the change in the current of the inner solenoid:

$\epsilon_1=M\frac{dI_2}{dt}$

by replacing you obtain:

$\epsilon_1=(1.18*10^{-5}H)(1700A/s)=0.02V=20mV$

the emf is 20mV

What exerts a centripetal force on a person running around a curve?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.
