A swimmer sets off headed west at 0.40 m/s directly towards the opposite shore of a swift river. The swimmer makes it to the opp

osite shore 30 meters downstream of their expected position. If the river is 7.5 meters wide, what is the velocity of the water relative to the shore?

Answer:

Explanation:

River is 7.5 m wide . Time taken by it cover this displacement

= displacement / velocity

=  7.5 / 0.4  

= 18.75 s

During this period , swimmer  will have a displacement of 30 m due to velocity of river water .

Displacement of 30 m downstream will be due to flow of river .

velocity of water flow = displacement / time

= 30 / 18.75

= 1.6 m /s

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.383. At what minimum rate wo
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

25.59 m/s²

Explanation:

Using the formula for  the force of static friction:

f_s = \mu_s N --- (1)

where;

f_s = static friction force

\mu_s = coefficient of static friction

N = normal force

Also, recall that:

F = mass × acceleration

Similarly, N = mg

here, due to min. acceleration of the car;

N = ma_{min}

From equation (1)

f_s = \mu_s ma_{min}

However, there is a need to balance the frictional force by using the force due to the car's acceleration between the quarter and the wall of the rocket.

Thus,

F = f_s

mg = \mu_s ma_{min}

a_{min} = \dfrac{mg }{ \mu_s m}

a_{min} = \dfrac{g }{ \mu_s }

where;

\mu_s = 0.383 and g = 9.8 m/s²

a_{min} = \dfrac{9.8 \ m/s^2 }{0.383 }

\mathbf{a_{min}= 25.59 \ m/s^2}

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
