student saw a science fiction movie in which a spaceship was zooming through space. The sound of the engine was loud. However, h

e knew that this was not possible because sound cannot travel through space. What is the best explanation of why sound cannot travel through space?

Space is in a vacuum. Sound cannot travel without air and space doesnt have air. Thats the best explanation.

Sound waves move through molecules. When there are no molecules in a certain space, sound cannot travel - whether in a vacuum or in space.

Describe how the number of photoelectrons emitted from a metal plate in the photoelectric effect would change if the following o
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b)   λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted,

c)  threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Explanation:

It's photoelectric effect was fully explained by Einstein by the expression

       Knox = h f - fi

Where K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, f the frequency of the incident radiation and fi the work function of the metal

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b) wavelength is related to frequency

         λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted, so there is a wavelength from which electrons cannot be removed from the metal.

c) As the work increases, more frequency radiation is needed to remove the electrons, because there is a threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Can anyone pls help me with this I’ll appreciate it. I’m trying to study for a test but I don’t know the answer to this.
forsale [732]

Answer:

okay so what you will do is where is says red giant you will write all about what it talks about red giants only, and the box plantary nebulas you will write about what is says about only planetary nebulas. x- hope this helps :)

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10
irina [24]
First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.

A moving van travels 10km North, then 4 km east, drops off some furniture and then drives 8 km south. (a) Sketch the path of the
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

4.47 km

Explanation:

If we draw the path of the van then we get a shape with two exposed points A and D. If we draw a line from point D perpendicular to BA we get point E. This gives us a right angled triangle ADE.

From Pythagoras theorem

AD² = AE² + ED²

AD=\sqrt{AE^2+ED^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{2^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{20}\\\Rightarrow AD=4.47\ km

Hence, the van is 4.47 km from its initial point

Explain the relationships between gravity, mass, and distance.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

As the mass of an object increases, its gravitational force increases.

As an object's distance to other objects increases, its gravitational force on those objects increases.

Explanation:

The gravitational force of one object on another is calculated with the equation

F = (G*m1*m2)/(r²),

where G is the gravitational constant,

M1 and M2 are the masses of the two objects, and

r is the distance between them

We can see that the force has a direct relationship with both of the mass values, and an inverse square relationship with the distance between them.

Hope this helped!
