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. (a) What is the pressure on an atom if light from the tweezers is totally absorbed

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

A worker is thinking about two ways to get a box up 1.2 m onto a loading dock. He can use a force of 250 N to lift it straight u
harina [27]

Answer:

<em>The second option has a lower power output. P=30 W</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Power </u>

It is a physical magnitude that measures the rate a work W is done over time t.

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}

Since W=F.d

\displaystyle P=\frac{F.d}{t}

The first option means the worker will lift the box by a distance of 1.2 meters in 3 seconds by applying 250 N of force. That produces a power of

\displaystyle P=\frac{(250). (1.2)}{3}=100\ Watt

The second option requires the worker applies 75 N of force and travel a distance of 4 meters for 10 seconds, thus the power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{(75). (4)}{10}=30\ Watt

The second option has a lower power output

Sometimes balance point may not be obtained on the potentiometer wire why​
scoundrel [369]
Solution
Let a cell of emf E be connected across the entire length L of a potentiometer wire . Now , if the balance point is obtained at a length l during measurement of an unknown voltage

.
The balance point is not on the potentiometer wire - this statement means that

. In that case ,
l > L
V > E

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s  (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

How to calculate displacement?​
Blizzard [7]

-- Take a straight ruler.

-- Lay it down with the 'zero' mark at the start point.

-- Rotate it around the start point until the end point is also touching the edge of the ruler.

-- From the marks on the ruler, read the straight-line distance from the start point to the end point.

-- Without moving the ruler, observe and write down the DIRECTION from the start point to the end point.

-- The Displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from the start point to the end point.
