Meteoroids are small objects in space, usually made of rock or metal. These bodies often get close to a planet and fall through

its atmosphere. A burning streak of light, called a , is visible as it falls through the sky. Sometimes the object does not burn up completely and a part of it survives the fall to the planet’s surface. These rocky bodies, called , are studied by scientists to gain a better understanding of our solar system. NextReset

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface,pointing down, that averages 102 N/C. This field is maintained by various

Schach [20]

Answer:

$q = -461532.5 \ C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The electric filed is $E = 102 \ N/C$

Generally according to Gauss law

=> $E A = \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }$

Given that the electric field is pointing downward , the equation become

$- E A = \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }$

Here $q$ is the excess charge on the surface of the earth

$A$ is the surface area of the of the earth which is mathematically represented as

$A = 4\pi r^2$

Where r is the radius of the earth which has a value $r = 6.3781*10^6 m$

substituting values

$A = 4 * 3.142 * (6.3781*10^6 \ m)^2$

$A =5.1128 *10^{14} \ m^2$

So

$q = -E * A * \epsilon _o$

Here $\epsilon_o$ s the permitivity of free space with value

$\epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12} \ m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot s^4 \cdot A^2$

substituting values

$q = -102 * 5.1128 *10^{14} * 8.85 *10^{-12}$

$q = -461532.5 \ C$

At a temperature of 320K, the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 40.0 liters. If the volume of the gas is decreased to 20.0 liter

Lerok [7]

Assuming the gas behaves ideally,
PV/T = constant. P will also be constant in this giving us:
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
40/320 = 20/T₂
T₂ = 160 K
The answer is A.

An 80-cm uniform 10-kg bar is resting on two scales, one at either end. A smaller 4-kg mass (m) is placed at a distance of d = 2

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer

given,

length of bar = 80 cm

mass of the bar = 10 kg

smaller mass = 4 kg

distance = 20 cm

$s_1 + s_2 = 10 + 4$

$s_1 + s_2 = 14\ kg$

taking moment about B

$s_1 \times 0.8 - 10 \times 0.4 - 4 \times 0.6 = 0$

$s_1 \times 0.8 = 6.4$

$s_1 = 8\ N$

$s_2 = 14 - s_1$

$s_2 = 14 - 8$

$s_2 = 6 N$

difference between two scale = 8 - 6

= 2 N

Ultraviolet light of wavelength 270 nm strikes a metal whose work function is 2.3 eV.What is the shortest de Broglie wavelength

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of ultraviolet light, λ = 270 nm

work function of the metal, φ = 2.3 eV = 2.3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the ultraviolet light is given by;

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\E = \frac{(6.626*10^{-34} )(3*10^{8}) }{270*10^{-9} }\\\\E = 7.362 * 10^{-19} \ J$

The energy of the incident light is related to kinetic energy of the electron and work function of the metal by the following equation;

E = φ + K.E

K.E = E - φ

K.E = (7.362 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) - (3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J )

K.E = 3.677 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

mv² = 2K.E

velocity of the electron is given by;

$V = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} }\\\\V = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.677*10^{-19}) }{9.1*10^{-31} } }\\\\V = 8.99*10^{5} \ m/s$

the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons is given by;

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\\ \\\lambda = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} }{(9.1*10^{-31})( 8.99*10^{5} )}\\\\\lambda = 8.10*10^{-10} \ m\\\\\lambda = 0.81 \ nm$

Therefore, the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm
