Answer:

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N

Explanation:

Convert everything to proper units:

m = 25mg = 2.5x10^-5 kg

r = 17.6cm = 0.176m

v = 110cm/s = 1.1m/s

the formula for centripetal force is Fc = mv^2 / r

Plug everything and solve for Fc;

fc = (2.5x10^-5)(1.1^2) / 0.176

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N

To understand the experiment that led to the discovery of the photoelectric effect.

Answer:

A) Emin = eV

B) Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

Explanation:

A)

Energy of electron is the product of electron charge and the applied potential difference.

The energy of an electron in this electric field with potential difference V will be eV. Since this is the least energy that the electron must reach to break out, then the minimum energy required by this electron will be;

Emin = eV

B)

The maximum stopping potential energy is eVo,

The energy of the electron due to the light is E_light.

If the minimum energy electron must posses is Φ, then the minimum energy electron must have to reach the detectors will be equal to the energy of the light minus the maximum stopping potential energy

Φ = E_light - eVo

Therefore,

eVo = E_light - Φ

Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

Calculate the most probable speed of an ozone molecule in the stratosphere
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

Explanation:

The temperature in stratosphere is generally about 270 K

molecular weight of an ozone molecule = 48 gm/mole

now formula for most probable velocity

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M} }

plugging the values we get

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2\8.314\times270}{48} }

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches
