Assuming a mass of 0.04 g, what is the power exerted by the electrical forces on a fragment of fiber if the fragment has a veloc

ity of 200 mm/s, 10 ms after ejection? For this problem, I used the formula P= Force * velocity = mass* (velocity/time)*velocity = (mass * velocity^2) /time. However I got the problem wrong. In the answer, they used the formula P= W/t = 1/2* (mass*velocity^2)/time. I am confused.When do you use P = Force * velocity = (mass * velocity^2) /time and when do you use P= W/t = 1/2* (mass*velocity^2)/time?

The power exerted by the electrical forces on a fragment of fiber is 8.0× 10^-5 Watts

<h3>Power and Energy or Work done</h3>

Power is the rate of doing work.

Power = work done / time

Energy is the ability to do work.

Work done and energy are used interchangeably.

Work done = Force × distance

In the example above, the energy possessed by the mass is kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy a body has by virtue of its motion.

Kinetic energy, KE = 1/2 mv^2

Calculating kinetic energy of the body:

mass of the body = 0.04 g = 4.0 × 10^-5 kg

velocity of the body = 200mm/s = 0.2 m/s

Kinetic energy of the body = 1/2 × 4.0 × 10^-5 × 0.2^2

Kinetic energy of the body = 8.0× 10^-7

Thus, work done = 8.0× 10^-7 J

Calculating power exerted:

time taken = 10 ms = 0.01 s

Power = work done/ time

Power exerted = 8.0× 10^-7/0.01

Power exerted = 8.0× 10^-5 Watts

Therefore, the power exerted by the electrical forces on a fragment of fiber is 8.0× 10^-5 Watts

An observation of the red shift of galaxies suggestst that the universe is

Rufina [12.5K]

A) Expanding. We know this because it has a similar effect with sound. When a car goes by the pitch gets deeper and deeper. It's because you're receiving less waves. Same thing for light but instead of a pitch it's light, and the farther spread the waves - the redder, the closer and more contracted - the bluer

gayle cooks a roast in her microwave oven. the klystron tube in the oven emits photons whose energy is 1.20 x 10^-3 ev. what are

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of the microwave oven is $1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV$ .

We need to find the wavelength of these photons.

$1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV=1.2\times 10^{-3}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\=1.92\times 10^{-22}\ J$

The energy of a wave is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}$

Put all the values,

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.92\times 10^{-22}}\\\\\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the wavelength of these photon is $1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$ .

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?

kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease.

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host. A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.
