When the light of wavelength is falling on gold surface, the electrons begin to exchange energies.

a)The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cut-off wavelength is λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency is ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

<h3>What is work function?</h3>

The energy needed for a particle to escape and break through the surface.

The kinetic energy of the light emitted is 2.66 eV and wavelength of the light is 160 nm = 160 × 10⁻⁹ m.

a) The work function of the gold for given maximum kinetic energy is

Φ = hc / λ  - K.Emax

Substituting 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s for h, 3 × 10⁸ m/s for c and 2.66 eV for K.Emax, work function will be

Φ =8.16 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

1 eV = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cutoff wavelength is related to work function as

λ₀ = hc / Φ

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation, we get the cut off wavelength

λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency corresponding to the cut-off wavelength is

ν₀ = c / λ₀

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation, we get the frequency,

ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

Therefore, the values for the following are

a)The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cut-off wavelength is λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency is ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

A wheel has a constant angular acceleration of 1.8 rad/s2. During a certain 4.0 s interval, it turns through an angle of 45 rad.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

4.25 s

Explanation:

Given:

angular acceleration'α'=  1.8 rad/s²

angle 'θ'= 45 rad

time 't'= 4s

initial angular velocity 'w_{o}'=0rad^{-1}

as we know that,

θ= w_{1}t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^{2}

45 = 4 w_{1} + (0.5 x 1.8 x 16)

45- 14.4 = 4 w_{1}

30.6 = 4 w_{1}

w_{1}= 7.65 rad^{-1}

Next is to find t by using the equation

w_{1} =  w_{o} + \alpha t_{1}

7.65= 0 + (1.8)t_{1}

t_{1}= 7.65/1.8

t_{1}= 4.25 s

Therefore, At the start of 4s interval the motion is at 4.25 second

The mass of a basketball is three times greater then the mass of a softball. Compare the momentum’s of a softball and a basketba
vagabundo [1.1K]
Let m = the mass of the softball.
Then the mass of the basketball is 3m.

By definition, momentum =  mass * velocity.
If both the softball and basketball move at the same velocity, v, then
Momentum of the softball = mv
Momentum of the basketball = 3mv

Answer: The momentum of the basketball is 3 times that of the softball.

Several large firecrackers are inserted into the holes of a bowling ball, and the 6.3 kg ball is then launched into the air with
Anni [7]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 6.3 kg

speed of the ball = 10.4 m/s

angle made with horizontal = 43°

m_a = 1.8 kg               v_a = 2.2 m/s

m_b = 1.6 kg               v_b = 1.8 m/s

mass of third particle = 6.3 - 1.8 - 1.6

                                   = 2.9 kg

u cos θ = 10.4 x cos 43° = 7.61 m/s

by using conservation momentum along x-axis

6.3 x 7.61 = 1.8 × (-2.2) + 0 + 1.6 × V₃ₓ

V₃ₓ = 32.44 m/s (toward right)

by using conservation momentum along y-axis

0 = 0 + 1.6 x 1.8 + 1.6 × V₃y

V₃y = -1.8 m/s (indicate downward)

velocity of the third particle

v = \sqrt{32.44^2 + (-1.8)^2}

v = 32.49 m/s

tan \theta = \dfrac{-1.8}{32.44}

\theta = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{-1.8}{32.44})

θ = 3.176° (downward with horizontal)

A mass moves back and forth in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and period T.
Sever21 [200]

a. 0.5 T

- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation

During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.

So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

1 T : 4 A = t : 2 A

and solving for t we find

t=\frac{(1T)(2 A)}{4A}=0.5 T

b. 1.25T

Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that

- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A

we can set the following proportion:

1 T : 4 A = t : 5 A

And by solving for t, we find

t=\frac{(1T)(5 A)}{4A}=\frac{5}{4} T=1.25 T
