Which term is the rate at which work is done? energy power joules force

1 answer:

6 0

Power is joules per second or J/s when work is measured in joules and time in seconds. The basic unit of power, 1 J/s is called a watt (W), named after James Watt who made important improvements to the steam engine. By definition, a watt is the consumption of one joule of energy per second.

A baseball is thrown horizontally at a rate of 40m/s toward a home plate 18.4 m away. How far below the launch height is the bal

sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g where

R is the distance moves in horizontal direction = 18.4m

H is the height

U is the velocity of the baseball = 40m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate H as shown;

18.4 = 40√2H/9.8

18.4/40 = √2H/9.8

0.46 = √2H/9.8

square both sides;

(0.46)² = (√2H/9.8)²

0.2116 = 2H/9.8

2H = 9.8*0.2116

2H = 2.07368

H = 2.07368/2

H = 1.03684m

Hence the ball is 1.03684m below the launch height when it reached home plate.

A monochromatic light beam is incident on a barium target that has a work function of 2.50 \mathrm{eV} . If a potential differen

leva [86]

The wavelength of the light beam required to turn back all the ejected electrons is 497 nm which is option (b).

Work function is a material property defined as the minimum amount of energy required to infinitely remove electrons from the surface of a particular solid.
The potential difference required to support all emitted electrons is called the stopping potential which is given by $v_0=\frac{K.E_m_a_x}{e}$ .....(1)
where $v_0$ is the stopping potential and e is the charge of the electron given by $1.6\times10^-^1^9$ .

It is given that work function (Ф) of monochromatic light is 2.50 eV.

Einstein photoelectric equation is given by:

$K.E_m_a_x=E-\phi$ ....(2)

where K.E(max) is the maximum kinetic energy.

Substituting (1) into (2) , we get

$ev_0=E-\phi\\1.6\times10^{-19} \times1=E-2.50\\E=1.6\times10^{-19}+2.50\\E=2.50eV$

As we know that $E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ ....(3)

where Speed of light, $c = 3\times10^8 m/s$ and Planck's constant , $h = 6.63\times 10^-^1^9Js = 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 eVs$

From equation (3) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} \\\\\lambda=\frac{ 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 \times 3 \times10^8}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=\frac{1240\times10^-^9}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=496.8\times10^-^9\\\\\lambda=497nm$

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

$F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}$
