When you see a quantity like 20 m/s N, how do you know that it's a vector quantity and not a scalar quantity?

We know that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because N in the expression signifies the direction

<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>

This is a which have both magnitude and direction. Example include:

  • Velocity
  • Displacement
  • Force
  • Acceleration
  • Moment
  • Weight

<h3>How to determine whether 20 m/s N is a vector quantity</h3>
  • 20 m/s indicates just the speed i.e magnitude
  • 20 m/s N indicates the speed i.e magnitude why the N indicates the direction.

Thus, we can conclude that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

A graph shows how the temperature of a substance changes as energy is added steadily over time.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A flat, horizontal line  

Explanation:

A flat, horizontal line indicates a phase change.

The temperature does not increase because the added heat goes into converting one phase into another.

A is wrong. A downward-sloping line indicates that the temperature is decreasing with time.

C is wrong. An upward-sloping line indicates that the temperature is increasing with time.

Ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 97 nm strikes a metallic surface. Electrons leave the surface with speeds up to 3.48 ×
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

<h2><em>12.45eV</em></h2>

Explanation:

Before calculating the work function, we must know the formula for calculating the kinetic energy of an electron. The kinetic energy of an electron is the taken as the difference between incident photon energy and work function of a metal.

Mathematically, KE =  hf - Ф where;

h is the Planck constant

f is the frequency = c/λ

c is the speed of light

λ is the wavelength

Ф is the work function

The formula will become KE =  hc/λ - Ф. Making the work function the subject of the formula we have;

Ф = hc/λ - KE

Ф = hc/λ - 1/2mv²

Given parameters

c = 3*10⁸m/s

λ = 97*10⁻⁹m

velocity of the electron v = 3.48*10⁵m/s

h = 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴

m is the mass of the electron = 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹kg

Substituting the given parameters into the formula Ф = hc/λ - 1/2mv²

Ф =  6.63 × 10⁻³⁴*3*10⁸/97*10⁻⁹ -  1/2*9.11*10⁻³¹(3.48*10⁵)²

Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 4.555*10⁻³¹*12.1104*10¹⁰

Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 55.163*10⁻²¹

Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 0.0055.163*10⁻¹⁷

Ф = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷Joules

Since 1eV = 1.60218*10⁻¹⁹J

x = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷Joules

cross multiply

x = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷/1.60218*10⁻¹⁹

x = 0.1245*10²

x = 12.45eV

<em>Hence the work function of the metal in eV is 12.45eV</em>

What mass of steam at 100°C must be mixed with 119 g of ice at its melting point, in a thermally insulated container, to produce
N76 [4]

Answer:M=27.92\ gm

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice m=119\ gm

Final temperature of liquid T_f=57^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water c=4186\ J/kg-K

Latent heat of fusion L=333\ kJ/kg

Latent heat of vaporization L_v=2256\ kJ/kg

Suppose M is the mass of steam at 100^{\circ} C

Heat required to melt ice and convert it to water at 57^{\circ}C

Q_1=mL+mc(T_f-0)

Heat released by steam

Q_2=ML_v+Mc(100-T_f)

Q_1 and Q_2 must be equal as the heat gained by ice is equal to Heat released by steam

Q_1=Q_2

\Rightarrow mL+mc(T_f-0)= ML_v+Mc(100-T_f)

\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{m[L+c\times T_f]}{L_v+c(100-T_f)}

\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{119[333\times 10^3+4186\times 57]}{2256\times 10^3+4186\times (100-57)}

\Rightarrow M=119\times 0.2346

M=27.92\ gm
