The work function of rubidium smaller than the work function of potassium.

<h3>How can we compare the work function of rubidium and potassium?</h3>

The work function of the films was determined photoelectrically. So we can say that which particle shows a better photoelectric effect that particle has a greater work function.

Films of rubidium were deposited on quartz substrates by evaporation at pressures of less than 10⁻¹⁰ Torr.

At 140 K the work function of rubidium was determined photoelectrically, so the work function of Rubidium was found to be (2.261 ± 0.015) eV.

And now for the potassium we can show that, At 140 K the work function of Potassium was found to be 2.3eV.

So from the above data we can conclude that,

2.26± 0.015 < 2.3

The work function of rubidium smaller than the work function of potassium.

A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the poten

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

h = 20 m

Explanation:

given.

height, h = 10 m

Potential energy at 10 m = 50 J

Kinetic energy at 10 m = 50 J

maximum height the ball will reach, H = ?

Total energy of the system

T E = 50 J + 50 J

T E = 100 J

now,

A h = 10 m

P E = m g h

50 = m g x 10

mg = 5 ..............(1)

at the top most Point the only Potential energy will be acting on the body.

now, TE = Potential energy

100 = m g h

5 h = 100

h = 20 m

hence, the maximum height reached by the ball is equal to 20 m.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

Compute the velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts. express your answe

Elodia [21]

The velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts will be 5.93 * $10^{6}$ m/s

Electrons move because they get pushed by some external force. There are several energy sources that can force electrons to move. Voltage is the amount of push or pressure that is being applied to the electrons.

By conservation of energy, the kinetic energy has to equal the change in potential energy, so KE=q*V. The energy of the electron in electron-volts is numerically the same as the voltage between the plates.

given

charge of electron = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C
