Answer:

Pressure will triple   (Boyle's Law)  

Explanation:

Assuming a constant temperature:  (compressing gases usually raises the temp significantly):

P1V1 = P2V2

P1V1 / V2   = P2      

   Now change V2  to 1/3 V2:

P1V1 / (1/3 V2 ) = P2 / (1/3 )

P1V1/ (1/3 v2 ) = 3 P2                <======= THE PRESSURE WILL TRIPLE

    This is Boyle's Law

Silver has a work function of 4.5 eV . Part A What is the longest wavelength of light that will release an electron from a silve
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm</u>

The submarine emits a pulse of sound to detect other objects in the sea. The sped of sound in sea water is 1500m/s. An echo is r
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

d = 375 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound is constant in any medium, therefore we can use the uniform motion relationships

          v = x / t

          x = v t

In this case it indicates that the time since the sound is emitted and received is t = 0.50 s, in this time the sound traveled a round trip distance

           x = 2d

          2d = v t

          d = v t/2

     

let's calculate

          d = 1500 0.5 / 2

          d = 375 m

I need help with the following question, I am confused!. A block of material has a volume of 2 m3. It has a mass of 1 × 10^4 kg.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
To approximate the density of the block of material, we use the data on mass and the volume of the substance. Density is the mass of a substance over the volume it occupies. The given is 1 x 10^4 kg mass and a volume of 2 m3. We divide the two and get 5000 kg/m3 or 5 g/cm3.
