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.

kherson [118]

Answer:

\omega=3.135rad/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

initial Speed V_1=2.50

Mass m=70.0kg

Center of mass d=0.0.800m\

Generally the equation for angular velocity is is mathematically given by

\omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\\\omega=\frac{2.50}{0.0800}

\omega=3.135rad/s

The earth exerts a force of 500 newtons on an object what is the mass of the object in kg
guajiro [1.7K]

 Weight (that's what the 500 N is) = (mass) x (gravity) .

On Earth, gravity = about 9.8 m/s² , so

                                 500 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) .

Divide each side by 9.8 m/s²: 

                                 Mass = (500 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                          =    51 kg  (rounded) .
