It will be approximately equal.

<h3>How will the final kinetic energy change?</h3>

We can infer that all of the energy in the electron is Potential energy (PE) because the energy provided by the photon is hardly enough to outweigh the work function.

It will gain kinetic energy (KE) as it advances in the direction of the anode because it is moving through an electric field. All of the PE will have been transformed to KE by the time it reaches the anode.

According to the question

K = hf - W

W = Work function

The energy of photons is comparable. After conversion, there was only a little amount of KE remaining.

Therefore, PE (W) essentially equals KE (K).

It will about be equal.

The period of a simple pendulum in a grandfather clock on another planet is 1.80 s. What is the acceleration due to gravity (in
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

12.17 m/s²

Explanation:

The formula of period of a simple pendulum is given as,

T = 2π√(L/g)........................ Equation 1

Where T = period of the simple pendulum, L = length of the simple pendulum, g = acceleration due to gravity of the planet. π = pie

making g the subject of the equation,

g = 4π²L/T²................... Equation 2

Given: T = 1.8 s, l = 1.00 m

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 2

g = (4×3.14²×1)/1.8²

g = 12.17 m/s²

Hence the acceleration due to gravity of the planet = 12.17 m/s²

"If you double the wavelength of a wave on a particular string", what happens to the wave speed v and the frequency f ? (i) v do
nadezda [96]

Answer:

v doubles and f is unchanged

Explanation:

According to the formula v = f¶

Where v is the velocity of the wave

f is the frequency

¶ is the wavelength

Velocity is directly proportional to wavelength. Direct proportionality shows that increase in velocity will cause an increase in the wavelength and decrease in velocity will also cause a decrease in wavelength with the frequency not changing since the velocity and wavelength are both increasing and decreasing at the same rate.

According to the question, if the wavelength is doubled, the velocity (v) will also double while the frequency (f) remains unchanged.
