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

Explanation:

Writers periodically compete to see who can write the longest sentence in literature. James Joyce long held the English record with a 4,391 word sentence in Ulysses. Jonathan Coe one-uped him in 2001 with a 13,955 word sentence in The Rotter’s Club. More recently, a single-sentence, 469,375 word novel appeared.Writers periodically compete to see who can write the longest sentence in literature.

A rigid, nonconducting tank with a volume of 4 m3 is divided into two unequal parts by a thin membrane. One side of the membrane

kondor19780726 [428]

The final temperature of the system will be equal to the initial temperature, and which is 373K. The work done by the system is 409.8R Joules.

To find the answer, we need to know about the thermodynamic processes.

<h3>How to find the final temperature of the gas?</h3>

Any processes which produce change in the thermodynamic coordinates of a system is called thermodynamic processes.
In the question, it is given that, the tank is rigid and non-conducting, thus, dQ=0.
The membrane is raptured without applying any external force, thus, dW=0.
We have the first law of thermodynamic expression as,

$dU=dQ-dW$

Here it is zero.

$dU=0$ ,

As we know that,

$dU=C_pdT=0\\\\thus, dT=0\\\\or , T=constant\\\\i.e, T_1=T_2$

Thus, the final temperature of the system will be equal to the initial temperature,

$T_1=T_2=100^0C=373K$

<h3>How much work is done?</h3>

We found that the process is isothermal,
Thus, the work done will be,

$W=RT*ln(\frac{V_2}{V_1} )=373R*ln(\frac{4}{\frac{4}{3} })\\ \\W=409.8R J$

Where, R is the universal gas constant.

<h3>What is a reversible process?</h3>

Any process which can be made to proceed in the reverse direction is called reversible process.
During which, the system passes through exactly the same states as in the direct process.

Thus, we can conclude that, the final temperature of the system will be equal to the initial temperature, and which is 373K. The work done by the system is 409.8R Joules.
