Explain the relationship between energy and the potential to do work

1 answer:

4 0

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration . And energy is the capacity of doing work since power is work divided by time therefore change in potential energy divided by time is equal to the power of the object.

An electron that has a velocity with x component 2.4 x 106 m/s and y component 3.6 x 106 m/s moves through a uniform magnetic fi

likoan [24]

Answer:

(a) 7.315 x 10^(-14) N

(b) - 7.315 x 10^(-14) N

Explanation:

As you referred at the final remark, the electron and proton undergo a magnetic force of same magnitude but opposite direction. Using the definition of magnetic force, a cross product must be done. One technique is either calculate the magnitude of the velocity and magnetic field and multiplying by sin (90°), but it is necessary to assure both vectors are perpendicular between each other ( which is not the case) or do directly the cross product dealing with a determinant (which is the most convenient approach), thus,

(a) The electron has a velocity defined as: $\overrightarrow{v}=(2.4x10^{6} i + 3.6x10^{6} j) \frac{[m]}{[s]}\\\\$

In respect to the magnetic field; $\overrightarrow{B}=(0.027 i - 0.15 j) [T]$

The magnetic force can be written as;

$\overrightarrow{F} = q(\overrightarrow{v} x \overrightarrow{B})\\ \\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]$

Bear in mind $q =-1.6021x10^{-19} [C]$

thus,

$\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q(2.4x10^{6}* (-0.15)- (0.027*3.6x10^{6}))\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= -1.6021x10^{-19} [C](-457200) [T]\frac{m}{s}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=(7.3152x10^{-14}) k [\frac{N*m/s}{C*m/s}]\\\\|F|= \sqrt{ (7.3152x10^{-14})^{2}[N]^2 *k^{2}}\\\\F=7.3152x10^{-14} [N]$

Note: The cross product is operated as a determinant. Likewise, the product of the unit vector k is squared and that is operated as dot product whose value is equal to one, i.e, $k^{2}=k\cdot k = 1$

(b) Considering the proton charge has the same magnitude as electron does, but the sign is positive, thus

$\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q(2.4x10^{6}* (-0.15)- (0.027*3.6x10^{6}))\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= 1.6021x10^{-19} [C](-457200) [T]\frac{m}{s}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=(-7.3152x10^{-14}) k [\frac{N*m/s}{C*m/s}]\\\\|F|= \sqrt{ (-7.3152x10^{-14})^{2}[N]^2 *k^{2}}\\\\F=-7.3152x10^{-14} [N]$

Note: The cross product is operated as a determinant. Likewise, the product of the unit vector k is squared and that is operated as dot product whose value is equal to one, i.e, $k^{2}=k\cdot k = 1$

Final remarks: The cross product was performed in R3 due to the geometrical conditions of the problem.

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s .

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 1.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.

i.e. u = 0

v = 30 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.06 s

Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg

We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :

$F=m\times a$

$F=m\times (\dfrac{v-u}{t})$

$F=0.003\times (\dfrac{30}{0.06})$

F = 1.5 N

So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why are the outlets in homes never wired in series? What problems might this present?

rosijanka [135]

A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.

Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />
