What is the formula to used to find work?

Physics
1 answer:
liubo4ka [24]3 years ago

Answer:

W = F × D

Explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you!

The formula we use to calculate work is shown below:

W = F × D

W = WORK

F = FORCE

D = DISTANCE

For example, let's say you're holding a box with both of your hands, keeping it still. Sure, holding the box requires some amount of effort, no matter the weight or size, but since you aren't moving the box up and down, no work is being applied.

If you slowly raise the box into the air, however, work is being done on the box. It still requires effort, but you're applying force on the box, raising it x amount of distance into the air.

This is where the variables W, F and D come from.

I hope this helped you! Comment below if I can assist with anything else! :)

What is the energy per photon absorbed during the transition from n = 2 to n = 3 in the hydrogen atom?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer : The energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, 3.03\times 10^{-19}J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the wavelength of hydrogen atom.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 10973731.6 m⁻¹

n_f = Higher energy level = 3

n_i= Lower energy level = 2

Putting the values, in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(10973731.6)\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )

\lambda=6.56\times 10^{-7}m

Now we have to calculate the energy.

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength = 6.56\times 10^{-7}m

Putting the values, in this formula, we get:

E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{6.56\times 10^{-7}m}

E=3.03\times 10^{-19}J

Therefore, the energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, 3.03\times 10^{-19}J

a ball is projected horizontally with a velocity of 5 m per second from the top of a building 19.6 m high how long will the ball
zepelin [54]

Answer:

1.98s

Explanation:

The time taken to hit the ground is given by

h=ut+ 1/2 at^2

but u =0

so we have

h=1/2at^2

making t the subject

t=√2h/g

√2×19.6/10

1.98s

A large rocket has a mass of 2.00×10⁶ kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50×10⁷ N. Find its initial accelerati
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

17.5 m/s²

1.90476 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.5\times 10^7}{2\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow a=17.5\ m/s^2

Initial acceleration of the rocket is 17.5 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow \frac{120}{3.6}=0+17.5t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\frac{120}{3.6}}{17.5}=1.90476\ s

Time taken by the rocket to reach 120 km/h is 1.90476 seconds

Change in the velocity of a rocket is given by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation

\Delta v=v_{e}\ln \frac{m_0}{m_f}

where,

m_0 = Initial mass of rocket with fuel

m_f = Final mass of rocket without fuel

v_e = Exhaust gas velocity

Hence, the change in velocity increases as the mass decreases which changes the acceleration

Why would an orange roll of your cafeteria tray if you stopped suddenly
Vikentia [17]
Because the frictional force between the orange skin peel is great enough when you are walking for it to be carried on the tray, along with the gravitational force downwards onto the tray. When you stop, the force that you exerted moving forward it the same as on the tray and on the orange. So when you stop, the force is still on the orange as the same velocity as your we’re traveling, while the tray and you stop.
