Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is foc

used to a very small-diameter spot. Because small particles are attracted to regions of high light intensity, the focused beam can be used to "grab" onto particles and manipulate them for various experiments. In one experiment, a 10 mW laser beam is focused to a spot that has a diameter of 0.67 μm
Part A: What is the intensity of the light in this spot?

Part B: What is the amplitude of the electric field?

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A) Using

light intensity I= P/A

A= Area= π (Radius)^2= π((0.67*10^-6m)/(2))^2= 1.12*10^-13 m^2

Radius= Diameter/2

P= power= 10*10^-3=0.01 W

light intensity I= 0.01/(1.12*10^-13)= 9*10^10 W/m^2

Part B)  Using

I=c*ε*E^2/2

rearrange to solve for E= \sqrt{((I*2)/(c*ε))

c is the speed of light which is 3*10^8 m/s^2

ε=permittivity of free space or dielectric constant= 8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1

I= the already solved light intensity= 8.85*10^10 W/m^2

amplitude of the electric field E= \sqrt{(9*10^10 W/m^2)*(2) / (3*10^8 m/s^2)*(8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1)

---> E= \sqrt{(1.8*10^11) / (2.66*10^-3) = \sqrt{(6.8*10^13) = 8.25*10^6 V/m

Texting and driving is a dangerous act
sveta [45]

Answer:

s = 92.36 m

Explanation:

The distance covered by an object moving with uniform speed is given by the following formula:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered by car during the time when driver was distracted in texting = ?

v = uniform speed of car = (95 km/h)(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m/1 km) = 26.39 m/s

t = time taken by the driver for texting = 3.5 s

Therefore, using these values in equation, we get:

s = (26.39 m/s)(3.5 s)

<u>s = 92.36 m</u>

A movie stunt driver on a motorcycle speeds horizontally off a 50.0 m high cliff. how fast must the motorcycle leave the cliff-t
Marina86 [1]
This is a projectile motion problem, so, we use the formula for trajectory:

y =xtanα + gx^2/2v^2(cosα)^2

where 
y is the vertical distance (y = 50 m)
x is the horizontal distance (x=90 m)
α is the angle of trajectory; since it levels of HORIZONTALLY, α = 0°
v is the initial velocity 
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting to the formula,

50 =90tan(0°) + (9.81)(90)^2/2v^2(cos0°)^2
v = 28.2 m/s

A man with a mass of 60 kg rides a bike with a mass of 13 kg. What is the force needed to accelerate the bike at 0.90 m/s2?
Scrat [10]
The total mass of the things on the road is 60 + 13, which is 73kg.

mass • acceleration = F

73 x 0.9m/s^2 = 65.7N

F = 65.7 N
