Physics
1 answer:
Neko [114]2 years ago

Explanation:

In physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement. In its simplest form, it is often represented as the product of force and displacement. A force is said to do positive work if (when applied) it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the point of application. A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application of the force.

Quick Facts: Common symbols, SI unit ...

Work

A baseball pitcher does positive work on the ball by applying a force to it over the distance it moves while in his grip.

Common symbols

W

SI unit

joule (J)

Other units

Foot-pound, Erg

In SI base units

1 kg⋅m2⋅s−2

Derivations from

other quantities

W = F ⋅ s

W = τ θ

Dimension

M L2 T−2

For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done by the gravitational force on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). When the force F is constant and the angle between the force and the displacement s is θ, then the work done is given by:

{\displaystyle W=Fs\cos {\theta }}{\displaystyle W=Fs\cos {\theta }}

Work is a scalar quantity, so it has only magnitude and no direction. Work transfers energy from one place to another, or one form to another. The SI unit of work is the joule (J), the same unit as for energy.

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
Fynjy0 [20]

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.

Help please! This question is driving me crazy
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

-10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis

Explanation:

The x component of the resultant vector is:

x = 3.14 cos(30.0°) + 2.71 cos(-60.0°)

x = 4.07

The y component of the resultant vector is:

y = 3.14 sin(30.0°) + 2.71 sin(-60.0°)

y = -0.777

Therefore, the angle between the resultant vector and the +x axis is:

θ = atan(y / x)

θ = atan(-0.777 / 4.07)

θ = -10.8°

The angle is -10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis.

A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 m/ s^{2}

F - w = ma \\

F = w + ma

F = m ( a +g )

F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\

F = 75 ( 11.5 )

F = 862.5 N

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction.  Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac
tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.
