Answer:

4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²

Explanation:

A = energy absorbed = 500 J

η = efficiency = 0.90

E = Total energy

Total energy is given as

E = A/η

E = 500/0.90

E = 555.55 J

t = time = 4.00 s

Power of the beam is given as

P = E /t

P = 555.55/4.00

P = 138.88 Watt

d = diameter of the circular spot = 2.00 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the circular spot is given as

A = (0.25) πd²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2 x 10⁻³)²

A = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

Intensity of the beam is given as

I = P /A

I = 138.88 / (3.14 x 10⁻⁶)

I = 4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²

The intensity of a laser beam : <u>4.42.10⁷ W/m²</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The energy transferred by waves per unit area per unit time is called wave intensity  

Because energy per unit time is Power, the intensity of the wave is equal to Power divided by area  

\rm P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P = power, watt

W = energy, J  

t = time, s  

For waves that spread in all directions, the intensity at the distance R from the source can be formulated  

\rm I=\dfrac{Power}{Area}=\dfrac{P}{\pi .R^2}

From the equation above shows the intensity of the wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.  

\rm I\approx \dfrac{1}{R^2}

The farther the wave spreads, the smaller the intensity  

Cancerous tissue area:

\rm A=\dfrac{1}{4}\pi d^2\\\\A=\dfrac{1}{4}\pi(2.10^{-3})^2\Rightarrow d=2~mm=2.10^{-3}\:m\\\\A=\frac{1}{4}\pi 4.10^{-6}\\\\A=\pi .10^{-6}\\\\A=3.14.10^{-6}

So that the intensity

\rm 0.9I(only~90\%~absorbed)=\dfrac{W}{A.t}\\\\0.9I=\dfrac{500}{3.14.10^{-6}.4}\\\\I=4.42.10^7~\dfrac{W}{m^2}

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) P=2450\ Pa

b) \delta h=23.162\ cm

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m

a)

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

P=\rho_w.g.h_w

we've the density of the water =1000\ kg.m^{-3}

P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25

P=2450\ Pa

b)

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m

1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m

h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

\delta h=h_w-h_m

\delta h=25-1.838

\delta h=23.162\ cm

The relationship between frequency and period is...
Kazeer [188]

\\

Frequency, f, is how many cycles of an oscillation occur per second and is measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). The period of a wave, T, is the amount of time it takes a wave to vibrate one full cycle. These two terms are inversely proportional to each other: f = 1/T and T = 1/f.

What is the motion of the object?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

<em>Thus, the object is accelerating to the left</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Net Force</u>

The net force is the result of adding all the forces as vectors acting on a body.

\vec F=\vec F_1+\vec F_2+...+\vec F_n

Each vector can be expressed in its rectangular components Fx and Fy, and the sum is the sum of the rectangular components separately.

Second Newton's law gives the relation between the net force and the acceleration of the body:

\vec F = m.\vec a

We can see the acceleration is a vector with the same direction as the net force.

The diagram shows two vertical forces and two horizontal forces.

The vertical forces are acting in opposite directions and with the same magnitude, thus they cancel out, leaving zero net force in the y-axis.

The horizontal forces are opposite and with different magnitudes. Since the force acting to the left (F3) has a greater magnitude than the force acting to the right (F4), there is a net force directed to the left with a magnitude of 60 N - 20 N = 40 N

Thus, the object is accelerating to the left
