A laser with a power of 1.0 mW has a beam radius of 1.0 mm. What is the peak value of the electric field in that beam

Physics
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

power of the laser, P = 1.0 mW = 1 x 10⁻³ W

Radius of the beam, R = 1.0 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the beam = πr² = π(1 x 10⁻³ )² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The average intensity of the light = P / A

The average intensity of the light = ( 1 x 10⁻³) / (3.142 x 10⁻⁶)

The average intensity of the light = 318.27 W/m²

The peak value of the electric field is given by;

E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2I_{avg}}{c\epsilon_o}}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2(318.27)}{(3*10^8)(8.85*10^{-12})}}\\\\E_o = 489.64 \ V/m

Therefore, the peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m.

A wooden block of mass M resting on a frictionless, horizontal surface is attached to a rigid rod of length ℓ and of negligible
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

a)

mv l

b)

\frac{M }{(M + m)}

Explanation:

Complete question statement is as follows :

A wooden block of mass M resting on a friction less, horizontal surface is attached to a rigid rod of length ℓ and of negligible mass. The rod is pivoted at the other end. A bullet of mass m traveling parallel to the horizontal surface and perpendicular to the rod with speed v hits the block and becomes embedded in it.

(a) What is the angular momentum of the bullet–block system about a vertical axis through the pivot? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)

(b) What fraction of the original kinetic energy of the bullet is converted into internal energy in the system during the collision? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)

a)

m = mass of the bullet

v = velocity of the bullet before collision

r = distance of the line of motion of bullet from pivot = l

L = Angular momentum of the bullet-block system

Angular momentum of the bullet-block system is given as

L = m v r

L = mv l

b)

V = final velocity of bullet block combination

Using conservation of momentum

Angular momentum of bullet block combination = Angular momentum of bullet

(M + m) V l = m v l\\V =\frac{mv}{(M + m)}

K_{o} = Initial kinetic energy of the bullet

Initial kinetic energy of the bullet is given as

K_{o} = (0.5) m v^{2}

K_{f} = Final kinetic energy of bullet block combination

Final kinetic energy of bullet block combination is given as

K_{f} = (0.5) (M + m) V^{2}

Fraction of original kinetic energylost is given as

Fraction = \frac{(K_{o} - K_{f})}{K_{o}} = \frac{((0.5) m v^{2} - (0.5) (M + m) V^{2})}{(0.5) m v^{2}}

Fraction = \frac{(m v^{2} - (M + m) (\frac{mv}{(M + m)})^{2})}{m v^{2}} = \frac{(Mm v^{2} + m^{2} v^{2} - m^{2} v^{2})}{(M + m) m v^{2}}

Fraction = \frac{(Mm v^{2} + m^{2} v^{2} - m^{2} v^{2})}{(M + m) m v^{2}}\\ \frac{M }{(M + m)}

You throw a balloon that floats in the air with a velocity of 2 m / s south . If the wind speed is 5 m / s west , how far south
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m

Explanation:

velocity of the ball, v_b = 2 m/s south

velocity of the air, v_a = 5 m/s west

To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.

                                       | 2m/s

                                       |

                                       |

                                      ↓

      5m/s  ←------------------

the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.

R² = 5² + 2²

R² = 29

R = √29

R = 5.385 m/s

The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;

d = R x t

where;

t is time of the motion = 2 seconds

d = 5.385 x 2

d = 10.77 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.

A wrench 0.500 m long is applied to a nut with a force of 80.0 N. Because of the cramped space, the force must be exerted upward
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Torque, \tau=34.6\ N.m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.5 m

Force acting on the wrench, F = 80 N

The force is acting upward at an angle of 60.0° with respect to a line from the bolt through the end of the wrench. We need to find the torque is applied to the nut. We know that torque acting on an object is equal to the cross product of force and distance. It is given by :

\tau=Fr\ sin\theta

\tau=80\times 0.5\ sin(60)

\tau=34.6\ N.m

So, the torque is applied to the nut is 34.6 N.m. Hence, this is the required solution.
