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

A 2.0-kg mass is oscillating about the origin at 24 rad/s. The amplitude of the oscillations is 0.040 m. At what position is the

Darya [45]

Answer:

0.0327 m

Explanation:

m = 2 kg

ω = 24 rad/s

A = 0.040 m

Let at position y, the potential energy is twice the kinetic energy.

The potential energy is given by

U = 1/2 m x ω² x y²

The kinetic energy is given by

K = 1/2 m x ω² x (A² - y²)

Equate both the energies as according to the question

1/2 m x ω² x y² = 2 x 1/2 m x ω² x (A² - y²)

y² = 2 A² - 2 y²

3y² = 2A²

y² = 2/3 A²

y = 0.82 A = 0.82 x 0.040 = 0.0327 m

A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is sp

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2$

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

$I = mR^2/2$

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

$I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2$

So the friction torque is

$T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm$

The friction force is

$F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N$

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

$N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N$

A batter hits a fly ball which leaves the bat 0.89 m above the ground at an angle of 62 ∘ with an initial speed of 29 m/s headin

KatRina [158]

consider the motion in Y-direction

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Sin62 = 25.6 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel

Y = vertical displacement = - 0.89 m

using the equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

- 0.89 = (25.6) t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 5.3 sec

consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Cos62 = 13.6 m/s

a = acceleration = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 5.3 sec

X = horizontal displacement =?

using the equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

X = (13.6) (5.3) + (0.5) (0) t²

X = 72.1 m

d = distance traveled by the center fielder to catch the ball = 107 - x = 107 - 72.1 = 34.9 m

t = time taken = 5.3 sec

v = speed of center fielder

using the equation

v = d/t

v = 34.9/5.3

v = 6.6 m/s
