In February 2004, scientists at Purdue University used a highly sensitive technique to measure the mass of a vaccinia virus (the

kind used in smallpox vaccine). The procedure involved measuring the frequency of oscillation of a tiny sliver of silicon (just 32.0 nm long) with a laser, first without the virus and then after the virus had attached itself to the silicon. The difference in mass caused a change in the frequency. We can model such a process as a mass on a spring.
Required:
a. Find the ratio of the frequency with the virus attached ( fS+V) to the frequency without the virus (fS) in terms of mV and mS, where mV is the mass of the virus and mS is the mass of the silicon sliver.
b. In some data, the silicon sliver has a mass of 2.13×10^-16 g and a frequency of 2.04×10^15 Hz without the virus and 2.85×1014 with the virus. What is the mass of the virus in grams?

Answer:

a)   m_v = m_s ((\frac{w_o}{w})² - 1) ,  b)  m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g

Explanation:

a) The angular velocity of a simple harmonic motion is

           w² = k / m

where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the oscillator

let's apply this expression to our case,

silicon only

         w₉² = \frac{K}{m_s}

         k = w₀² m_s

silicon with virus

         w² = \frac{k}{m_s + m_v}

          k = w² (m_v + m_s)

in the two expressions the constant k is the same and q as the one property of the silicon bar, let us equal

           w₀²  m_s = w² (m_v + m_s)

           m_v = (\frac{w_o}{w})²  m_s - m_s

           m_v = m_s ((\frac{w_o}{w})² - 1)

b) let's calculate

          m_v = 2.13 10⁻¹⁶ [(\frac{20.4}{2.85})² - 1)]

          m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g

One jet is flying east at 880 km/h,and another is traveling north at 880 km/h.Do they have the same velocity?the same speed?Expl
shusha [124]
Velocity is the speed and direction combined.
So, the two jets both are going at the same speed.
But they are going in different directions, so their velocities are different.

Give one example of a thermodynamic cycle that does not account for the carnot efficiency.
Arturiano [62]

Thermo-Electrochemical converter (UTEC) is a thermodynamic cycle that does not account for the Carnot Efficiency.

The Carnot cycle is a hypothetical cycle that takes no account of entropy generation. It is assumed that the heat source and heat sink have perfect heat transfer. The working fluid also remains in the same phase, as opposed to the Rankine cycle, in which the fluid changes phase. A practical thermodynamic cycle, such as the Rankine cycle, would achieve at most 50% of the Carnot cycle efficiency under similar heat source and heat sink temperatures.

<h3>What is Thermo-Electrochemical converter?</h3>

In a two-cell structure, a thermo-electrochemical converter converts potential energy difference during hydrogen oxidation and reduction to heat energy.

It employs the Ericsson cycle, which is less efficient than the Carnot cycle. In a closed system, it converts heat to electrical energy. There are no external input or output devices.

This means there will be no mechanical work to be done, as well as no exhaust. As a result, Carnot efficiency is not taken into account in this cycle. Carnot efficiency is accounted for by other options such as turbine and engine.

What is the magnitude of the net force ∑ F on a 1.9 kg bathroom scale when a 74 kg person stands on it?
dexar [7]

Answer:

725.2‬ N

Explanation:

Since it is not stated the scale, the person or both accelerated or experience weightlessness, the net force acting on the bathroom scale is the weight of the person acting downward as the person stands on the scale .

                       Weight = mass of a body × acceleration due to gravity

                                    = 74 kg × 9.8 m/s²

                                    = 725.2‬ N

the moon revolves around the earth in a nearly circular orbit kept by gravitational force exerted by the earth work done will be
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.
