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

Electric field lines always begin at _______ charges (or at infinity) and end at _______ charges (or at infinity). One could als
lesantik [10]

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

By convention, the electric field lines (which are tangent to the direction of the electric field at a given point) always begin at positive charges, and finish at negative charges.

This is a consequence of the convention that states that the electric field has the direction of the trajectory of a positive test charge when released from rest in an electric field.

(As the positive charge would move away from positive charges and would  be attracted by negative ones).

So, the combination of answers that is true is b) (positive, negative, positive).

Which law of thermodynamics would be violated if heat were to spontaneously flow between two objects of equal temperature?
maks197457 [2]
<span>Actually the second law of thermodynamics would truly gets violated ie, which means that the entrophy changes of the isolated system can never be negative, which covers the above that if heat were to spontaneously flow between any two objects of equal temperature would be fully violated.</span>
