By photoelectric effect, the remaining energy is 3.82 x 10¯¹⁹ joule.

The photoelectric effect occurs when electrons are emitted from metal when the metal is struck by light of certain frequencies. The electrons produced by the photoelectric effect have maximum kinetic energy proportional to stopping potential energy from the metal which can be determined as:

Kmax = e.Vo

where Kmax is maximum kinetic energy and Vo is stopping potential energy.

From the question above, we know that:

Kmax = 0.61 eV = 9.77 x 10 ¯²⁰ joule

λ = 415 nm = 415 x 10¯⁹ m

Light energy is

E = hc / λ

E = 6.63 × 10¯³⁴ . 3 x 10⁸ / ( 415 x 10¯⁹ )

E = 4.79 x 10¯¹⁹ joule

Hence the remaining energy is

ΔE = E - Kmax

ΔE = 4.79 x 10¯¹⁹ - 9.77 x 10 ¯²⁰

ΔE = 3.82 x 10¯¹⁹ joule

xeze [42]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.
