Answer:

C. work function

Explanation:

In the photoelectric effect, the energy of the incident photon is used in part to extract the electron from the metal (and this energy is called work function) and the rest is converted into kinetic energy of the electron. In formula:

hf = \phi +K

where

hf is the energy of the incident photon, which is the product between h (the Planck constant) and f (the photon's frequency)

\phi is the work function

K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectron as it leaves the material

Karolina [17]
<h2>The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times

For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period

For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times

For 3 periods = 6 times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.

Assume the ground is uniformly level. If the horizontal component a projectile's velocity is doubled, but the vertical component
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time of flight = 2 x u sinα / g where u sinα is vertical component of projectile's velocity u .

So Time of flight = 2 x vertical component / g

vertical component = constant

g is also constant so

Time of flight will also be constant .

It will remain unchanged .
