The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.


Power = Work / time


or


P = W / t

An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) consists of two protons and two neutrons, and has a mass of 6.64 * 10-27 kg. A
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

t = 4.21x10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

The time (t) can be found using the angular velocity (ω):

\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}

<em>Where θ: is the angular displacement = π (since it moves halfway through a complete circle)</em>

We have:

t = \frac{\theta}{\omega} = \frac{\theta}{v/r}  

<u>Where</u>:      

<em>v: is the tangential speed </em>

<em>r: is the radius</em>

The radius can be found equaling the magnetic force with the centripetal force:

qvB = \frac{mv^{2}}{r} \rightarrow r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where:

m: is the mass of the alpha particle = 6.64x10⁻²⁷ kg

q: is the charge of the alpha particle = 2*p (proton) = 2*1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

B: is the magnetic field = 0.155 T

Hence, the time is:

t = \frac{\theta*r}{v} = \frac{\theta}{v}*\frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{\theta m}{qB} = \frac{\pi * 6.64 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}{2*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*0.155 T} = 4.21 \cdot 10^{-7} s

Therefore, the time that takes for an alpha particle to move halfway through a complete circle is 4.21x10⁻⁷ s.

I hope it helps you!

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 64 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
Nataly [62]
R=\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{64 V}{7 A}=\dfrac{64}{7}\,\Omega\approx9.143\,\Omega

The resistance of the wire is about 9.143 ohms.

A fish is 11.9 cm from the front surface of a fish bowl of radius 33 cm. Where does the fish appear to be to someone in air view
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The fish would appear 42.7 cm on the left side from the front of the bowl.

Explanation:

The fish (object) distance = 11.9 cm, radius of curvature of the bowl = 33 cm. The distance of image of the fish (image distance) can be determined by applying the mirror formula;

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

where f is the focal length of the reflecting surface, u is the object distance and v is the image distance.

But, f = \frac{radius of curvature}{2}

         = \frac{33}{2}

       f = 16.5 cm

Substitute f = 16.5 = \frac{165}{10}, and u = 11.9 = \frac{119}{10} in equation 1;

\frac{10}{165} = \frac{10}{119} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{10}{165} - \frac{10}{119}

  = \frac{1190 - 1650}{19635}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{-460}{19635}

⇒ v  = \frac{19635}{-460}

       = -42.6848

    v = 42.7 cm

The fish would appear 42.7 cm on the left side from the front of the bowl.
