Answer:

W = 650 [kJ]

Explanation:

The definition of work is denoted by the product of force by the distance traveled by the body, this distance traveled corresponds to the direction of the force.

In this case we have:

d = distance = 2.6[km] = 2600 [m]

F = force = 250 [N]

W = F*d = 250 * 2600 = 650000 [J] or 650 [kJ]

What is the velocity of a beam of electrons that goes undeflected when passing through perpendicular electric and magnetic field

goldenfox [79]

F = qE + qV × B
where force F, electric field E, velocity V, and magnetic field B are vectors and the × operator is the vector cross product. If the electron remains undeflected, then F = 0 and E = -V × B
which means that |V| = |E| / |B| and the vectors must have the proper geometrical relationship. I therefore get
|V| = 8.8e3 / 3.7e-3
= 2.4e6 m/sec
Acceleration a = V²/r, where r is the radius of curvature.
a = F/m, where m is the mass of an electron,
so qVB/m = V²/r.
Solving for r yields
r = mV/qB
= 9.11e-31 kg * 2.37e6 m/sec / (1.60e-19 coul * 3.7e-3 T)
= 3.65e-3 m

How much work is done by 0.070 m3 of gas, when the volume remains constant with pressure of 63 x 105 Pa?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

W = 0 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done by gas at constant pressure is given by the following formula:

$W = P\Delta V$

where,

W = Work done by the gas

P = Pressure of the gas

ΔV = Change in the volume of the gas

Since the volume of the gas is constant. Therefore, there is no change in the volume of the gas:

$W = P(0\ m^3)\\$

An object with an initial velocity of 10 m/s accelerates at a rate of 3.5 m/s2 for 8 seconds. How far will it have traveled duri

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Distance, d = 192 meters

Explanation:

We have,

Initial velocity of an object is 10 m/s

Acceleration of the object is 3.5 m/s²

Time, t = 8 s

We need to find the distance travelled by the object during that time. Second equation of motion gives the distance travelled by the object. It is given by :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$d=10\times 8+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.5\times 8^2\\\\d=192\ m$

So, the distance travelled by the object is 192 meters.
