This is not as simple as it looks.  

His average speed is NOT (10km/hr + 50km/hr)/2 = 30 km/hr.

You have to use the definition of speed:

Speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Let's say the distance up (and down) the hill is 'd' .

Then the time it takes to go up the hill is (d/10) hours.

And the time it takes to come down the hill is (d/50) hours.

Total distance = 2d km

Total time = (d/10) + (d/50) = (5d/50) + (d/50) = 6d/50

Speed = distance/time = 2d/(6d/50) = 100d/6d

<em>Speed = </em>100/6 = <em>16-2/3 km/hr</em>

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 speed of light in vacuum is defined to be c = 299,792,458 m/s = 1 μ0ε0 . The permeability constant of vacuum is defined to b
Radda [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The speed of light in vacuum is, c = 299,792,458 m/s

The permeability constant of vacuum is, \mu_o=4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2

Let \epsilon_o is the permittivity of free space. The relation between \mu_o,\epsilon_o\ and\ c is given by :

c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o\epsilon_o}}

\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{c^2u_o}

\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{(299792458\ m/s)^2\times 4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2}

\epsilon_o=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ C^2/N.m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

a package was determined to have a mass of 5.7kilograms. what's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?(a)37.93N(b)
Nana76 [90]
The force of gravity on earth is 9.807 m/s^2 (or meters per second per second).
To determine the force applied, multiply the mass of the package (5.7 kg) by the force of gravity on Earth (9.807 m/s^2).
5.7 x 9.807 = 55.86 N The answer is D.

Note: the actual force is 55.89 Newtons.
