Consider Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: FG= G (m1 m2)/d2 .

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity between two objects is

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

d is the separation between the two objects

We notice the following:

- F is directly proportional to the masses, $F\propto m_1, m_2$ . This means that if one of the masses increases, then the force between them, F, increases in a proportional way

- F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, $F\propto \frac{1}{d^2}$ . This means that if the distance between the two objects is increased, the force between them will decrease, and vice-versa.

So, the correct answer is

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The Law of Conservation of Energy states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called Elastic Potential Energy (PE), transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called Kinetic Energy (KE). Since total energy must be constant:

$KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}$

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.

The equation is calculated as:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}+0=0+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}50(0.1)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)v^{2}$

$v^{2}=\frac{50(0.1)^{2}}{0.1}$

$v=\sqrt{50(0.1)}$

$v=\sqrt{5}$

v = 2.24

The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.

Electromagnetic radiation of 8.12×10¹⁸ Hz frequency is applied on a metal surface and caused electron emission. Determine the wo

klemol [59]

Answer:

The work function ϕ of the metal = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

Explanation:

When light is incident on a photoelectric material like metal, photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of the metal. This process is called photoelectric effect.

The relationship between the maximum kinetic energy ( $E_{k}$ ) of the photoelectrons to the frequency of the absorbed photons (f) and the threshold frequency (f₀) of the photoemissive metal surface is:

$E_{k}$ = h(f − f₀)

$E_{k}$ = hf - hf₀

E is the energy of the absorbed photons: E = hf

ϕ is the work function of the surface: ϕ = hf₀

$E_{k}$ = E - ϕ

Frequency f = 8.12×10¹⁸ Hz

Maximum kinetic energy $E_{k}$ = 4.16×10⁻¹⁷ J

Speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js

E = hf = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ x 8.12×10¹⁸

E = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

from $E_{k}$ = E - ϕ ;

ϕ = E - $E_{k}$

ϕ = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ - 4.16×10⁻¹⁷

ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

The work function of the metal ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J
