A. Lithium

The equation for the photoelectric effect is:

E=\phi + K

where

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incident light, with h being the Planck constant, c being the speed of light, and \lambda being the wavelength

\phi is the work function of the metal (the minimum energy needed to extract one photoelectron from the surface of the metal)

K is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron

In this problem, we have

\lambda=190 nm=1.9\cdot 10^{-7}m, so the energy of the incident light is

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.9\cdot 10^{-7} m}=1.05\cdot 10^{-18}J

Converting in electronvolts,

E=\frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-18}J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.5 eV

Since the electrons are emitted from the surface with a maximum kinetic energy of

K = 4.0 eV

The work function of this metal is

\phi = E-K=6.5 eV-4.0 eV=2.5 eV

So, the metal is Lithium.

B. cesium, potassium, sodium

The wavelength of green light is

\lambda=510 nm=5.1\cdot 10^{-7} m

So its energy is

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.1\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.9\cdot 10^{-19}J

Converting in electronvolts,

E=\frac{3.9\cdot 10^{-19}J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=2.4 eV

So, all the metals that have work function smaller than this value will be able to emit photoelectrons, so:

Cesium

Potassium

Sodium

C. 4.9 eV

In this case, we have

- Copper work function: \phi = 4.5 eV

- Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons: K = 2.7 eV

So, the energy of the incident light is

E=\phi+K=4.5 eV+2.7 eV=7.2 eV

Then the copper is replaced with sodium, which has work function of

\phi = 2.3 eV

So, if the same light shine on sodium, then the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons will be

K=E-\phi = 7.2 eV-2.3 eV=4.9 eV

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

386.2^{\circ}F

Explanation:

We are given that

P_1=200lbf/in^2

P_2=60lbf/in^2

v_1=200ft/s

v_2=1700ft/s

T_1=500^{\circ}F

Q=0

C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2

C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}

1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2

Substitute the values

1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}

500+1.598=T_2+115.4

T_2=500+1.598-115.4

T_2=386.2^{\circ}F

A shell of mass m and speed v explodes into two identical fragments. If the shell was moving horizontally (the positive x direct
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of original shell , m .

Velocity of shell , + v .

Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e  \dfrac{m}{2} .

Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .

Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .

So , Final momentum = Initial momentum

mv=\dfrac{mv}{2}+\dfrac{mu}{2}\\\\u=v

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

A mass of 250 N is on a piston of 2.0 m^2. What force is needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<h3>62.5N</h3>

Explanation:

The pressure at one end of the piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston.

Pressure = Force/Area

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Given

F1 = 250N

A1 = 2.0m²

A2 = 0.5m²

F2 = ?

Substituting the given values in the formula;

250/2 = F2/0.5

cross multiply

250*0.5 = 2F2

125 = 2F2

F2 = 125/2

F2 = 62.5N

Hence the  force needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2 is 62.5N
