An electron is ejected from the cathode by a photon with an energy slightly greater than the work function of the cathode. How w

ill the final kinetic energy of the electron upon reaching the anode compare to its initial potential energy immediately after it has been ejected?.

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.

Given that on Earth, gravity causes an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, what is an acceleration of 7 g?
zzz [600]

Answer:

68.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

1 g = 9.8 m/s^2

so

7 g × 9.8m/s^2 = 68.6

3) A 900N mountain climber scales a 100m cliff. How much work is done by the mountain climber?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

90 kJ

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (900 N) (100 m)

W = 90,000 J

W = 90 kJ

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

m v1 = (m + M) v2

v2 = m v1 / (m + M)

v2 = 7 * 74 / (74 + 65)

3.73 m/s

74 kg is too heavy for the cannonball (over 150 lbs)

An atom emits a light wave with a wavelength of 449 nm. what type or color of light does this represent?
Vinvika [58]
The visible spectrum ranges from 390 nm to 700 nm. the visible spectrum consist of the red ( 620 - 750 nm ) , orange ( 590 - 620 nm ) , yellow ( 570 - 590 nm ) , green ( 495 - 570 nm ) , blue ( 450 - 495 nm ) and violet ( 380 - 450 nm ) so the wave length 449 nm will produce a violet color

a skinny girl devours food that is equivalent to 600 kcal, as she is anorexic she repents and wants to lose twice as many calori
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in lifting the weight once = mgh

= 20 x 9.8 x (1.9+1.7)

= 705.6 J  

= 705.6 / 4.2 calorie

= 168 cals

Total energy to be spent = 600 x 10³ cals

No of times weight is required to be lifted

= 600 x 10³ / 168

= 3.57  x 10³ times

Total time to be taken = 2 x 3.57 x 10³

= 7.14 x 10³ s

=119 minutes .
