The density of the metal sphere is 2 times the density of the liquid as proved.

<h3>Net upward force acting on the metal sphere</h3>

The net upward force acting on the sphere as it is dropped into the liquid is calculated as follows;

F =  σVg - ρVg

ma =  σVg - ρVg  

where;

  • ρ is density of the liquid
  • σ is the density of the metal
  • a is acceleration of the metal

σV(a) =  σVg  - ρVg

σ(a) = σg  - ρg

σ(g/2) = σg -  ρg  

g(σ/2) = g(σ -  ρ)

σ/2 = σ -  ρ

σ/2 - σ = -  ρ

-σ/2 = -  ρ

σ = 2ρ --- proved

Thus, the density of the metal sphere is 2 times the density of the liquid as proved.

Doss [256]

Answer:

400000\ \text{N/C}

Explanation:

q_1 = Charge at 3000 m = 40 C

q_2 = Charge at 1000 m = -40 C

r_1 = 3000 m

r_2 = 1000 m

k = Coulomb constant = 9\times10^9\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2

Electric field due to the charge at 3000 m

E_1=\dfrac{k|q_1|}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow E_1=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 40}{3000^2}\\\Rightarrow E_1=40000\ \text{N/C}

Electric field due to the charge at 1000 m

E_2=\dfrac{k|q_2|}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 40}{1000^2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=360000\ \text{N/C}

Electric field at the aircraft is E_1+E_2=40000+360000=400000\ \text{N/C}.

Which of the following metals require ultraviolet light to exhibit the photoelectric effect?The options available: a. Cs, work f
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light starts at the end of the visible light spectrum, where violet light ends:

\lambda=380 nm =3.8\cdot 10^{-7}m (wavelength of lowest-energy ultraviolet light)

So, the lowest energy of ultraviolet light can be found by using the formula

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

Substituting,

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.8\cdot 10^{-7} m}=5.23\cdot 10^{-19}J

And keeping in mind that

1 eV = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}J

This energy converted into electronvolts is

E=\frac{5.23\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=3.27 eV

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the surface of the metal. Therefore, the metals that exhibit photoelectric effect are the ones whose work function is larger than the energy we found previously, so:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Because for all the other metals, visible light will be enough to extract photoelectrons.
