A teacher performing demonstration finds that a piece of cork displaces 23.5 ml of water. The piece of cork has a mass 5.7 g. Wh
Sedbober [7]

Answer: 0.24g/ml

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water displaced = 23.5 ml

Mass of cork = 5.7 g

Density of the cork = ?

Recall that density is obtained by dividing the mass of a substance by the volume of water displaced.

i.e Density = Mass/volume

Density = 5.7g /23.5ml

Density = 0.24g/ml

Thus, the density of the piece of cork is 0.24g/ml

Is the term used to describe an object with enough orbital energy to escape earth completely?
Komok [63]
Escape velocity describes its speed. It becomes a satellite instead of falling back to earth because as it falls under Earth’s gravity the Earth has moved so the satellite falls around the planet instead of down to the ground.

Red light of wavelength 651 nm produces photoelectrons from a certain photoemissive material. Green light of wavelength 521 nm p
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

material work function is 0.956 eV

Explanation:

given data

red wavelength 651 nm

green wavelength 521 nm

photo electrons = 1.50 × maximum kinetic energy

to find out

material work function

solution

we know by Einstein photo electric equation  that is

for red light

h ( c / λr ) = Ф +  kinetic energy

for green light

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × kinetic energy

now from both equation put kinetic energy from red to green

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × (h ( c / λr ) - Ф)

Ф =( hc / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

put all value

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} )  / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} ) / 0.50 ) × ( 1.50/ 651×10^{-9}   - 1/ 521 ×10^{-9})

Ф = 1.5305  ×10^{-19} J  × ( 1ev / 1.6 ×10^{-19} J )

Ф = 0.956 eV

material work function is 0.956 eV
