Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

ers is 1000 W/m2, the same as the intensity of sunlight at the surface of the Earth.
Required:
a. What is the pressure on an atom if light from the tweezers is totally absorbed? ?
b. If this pressure were exerted on a tritium atom, what would be its acceleration?

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

If it is totally absorbed pressure is calculated as follows .

Pressure = I / c where I is intensity of light falling .

= 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ N / m²

b ) weight of tritium atom

=  3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

acceleration = force / mass

=    3.33x 10⁻⁶ / 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷

= .6646 x 10²¹ m /s²

= 66.46 x 10¹⁹ m / s²

How often must you check the temperature of food that is being held with temperature control?.
loris [4]

You need to check the temperature of food being stored in a temperature-controlled environment every four hours. The process of changing a space's temperature is called temperature control.

Cooking food alone may not be enough to avoid food poisoning, though, if the bacteria in food are allowed to grow to large numbers. When the temperature is between 5°C and 63°C, bacteria can grow. The risk zone is the range between 5°C and 63°C.

Temperature control is a process where the passage of heat energy into or out of a space or substance is adjusted to achieve the desired temperature. This process involves measuring or otherwise detecting changes in the temperature of the space (and all of the objects contained therein) or of the substance.

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.148 kg baseball crashing through the pane
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg

initial velocity, u = 15.5 m/s

final velocity, v = 10.1 m/s

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = change in momentum

I = m (v - u)

I = 0.148 (10.1 - 15.5)

I = - 0.8 Ns

A heater marked 2000W/3000W is switched on for 4 hours. For the first hour it is on the highest setting and for the last 3 hours
Leni [432]

Answer:

9 kW-hr

Explanation:

3000 W  = 3 kW          for 1 hr =    <u>3 kW - hr </u>

2000 W  = 2 kW          for 3 hr =  <u> 6 kW -hr</u>

<u />

total power =  <u> 3 + 6 = 9 kW-hr</u>
