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

Basile [38]

The cats have full bowls in the morning and afternoon, Katy can assume that the cats do not eat in the morning or afternoon. The bowls are replenished in the evening, which suggests that they become empty in the evening, which suggest that the pattern is that the cats eat in the evening so your answer would be C. Hope this helps. ;)

A rock hits a window and stops in 0.15 seconds. The net force on the rock is 58N during the collision. What is the magnitude of

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The change in momentum is $\Delta p = 0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken for the stone to stop is $\Delta t = 0.15 \ seconds$

The net force on the rock is $F = 58 \ N$

The impulse of the rock can be mathematically represented as

$I = F * \Delta t$

Substituting values

$I = 58 * 0.15$

$I = 0.7\ kg * m * s^{-1}$

Now impulse is defined as the rate at which momentum change

Hence the change in momentum $\Delta p$ of the rock is equal to the impulse of the rock

So

$\Delta p = I = 0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$

Do all objects fall at the same rate?and if they do not why?

Tema [17]

No, I heavier object will fall much faster than something lighter than it. This is because it’s more dense and hard so it can cut through the air particles quicker than a lighter object which takes longer to cut through the air and fall

Example:

A rock vs a feather
The rock will fall quicker because it’s more dense and falls straight down and the feather will be slower because it flows slowly down through the air particles

An object is five focal lengths from a concave mirror.how do the object and image heights compare?

enot [183]

An object distance is presented as s = 5f and we know that the mirror equation relates the image distance to the object distance and the focal length.

The mirror equation is 1/f = 1/s + 1/s’ where the variable f stands for the focal length of the mirror. Variable (s) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the object and the variable <span>(s’) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the image. </span>

In addition, a concave mirror will have a positive focal length (f) and a convex mirror will have a negative focal length (f).

Now, we then have 1/f = 1/5f + 1/s’ which is s’ = 5f/4

Then we get the magnification ratio that expresses the size or amount of magnification or reduction of the object or image and to get the magnification, we use this equation: M= s’/s

M= 5f/4x5f

s’ = 1/4s

Therefore, the image height is one fourth of the object height

20. Using the picture, how many neutrons does lithium have?

Igoryamba

Answer:

No. of Neutrons = 3

Explanation:

The atomic number of Lithium is given as 3 in the symbol while the mass number is given as 5.941 which is approximately equal to 6.

Mass Number = No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons = 6

Atomic Number = Number of Electrons = No. of Protons = 3

Therefore,

Mass Number - Atomic Number = (No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons) - No. of Protons

Mass Number - Atomic Number = No. of Neutrons

No. of Neutrons = 6 - 3

<u>No. of Neutrons = 3 </u>
