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

The work function is what we call the minimum energy that is required by an electron to leave the metal target in the photoelectric effect.

One peice of evidence that the universe is expanding
AnnyKZ [126]
Who Figured This Out? The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble's Law.

If a ball is launched horizontally at 40 m/s
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

40m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal component of velocity remains constant because there are no external forces in that direction

By applying motion equations, V= U+ at

where ,

  • v - final velocity
  • u - initial velocity
  • a-acceleration
  • t - time

v = u +at

As no force act on the ball ( we neglect air resistance here) no acceleration is seen,

So v = u = 40m/s

How to solve number 10
Vinil7 [7]

The 'formulas' to use are just the definitions of 'power' and 'work':

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

and  

Work = (force) x (distance) .

Combine these into one. Take the definition of 'Work', and write it in place of 'work' in the definition of power.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

From the sheet, we know the power, the distance, and the time.  So we can use this one formula to find the force.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

Multiply each side by (time):  (Power) x (time) = (force) x (distance)

Divide each side by (distance): Force = (power x time) / (distance).

Look how neat, clean, and simple that is !

Force = (13.3 watts) x (3 seconds) / (4 meters)

Force = (13.3 x 3 / 4) (watt-seconds / meter)

Force = 39.9/4 (joules/meter)

<em>Force = 9.975 Newtons</em>

Is that awesome or what !

To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required. 


25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m
