An astronaut stands by the rim of a crater on the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is 1.62 m/s2 and there is no air. To d

etermine the depth of the crater, she drops a rock and measures the time it takes for it to hit the bottom. If the depth of the crater is 120 m, how long does it take for the rock to fall to the bottom of the crater

Answer:

12.1 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 120 m

a = Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = 1.67 m/s²

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -1.67\times 120-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 120}\\\Rightarrow u=20.02\ m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20.2}{-1.67}\\\Rightarrow t=12.1\ s

Time taken by the rock to hit the bottom of the crater is 12.1 seconds

For a photoelectric tube, calculate the voltage which will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plat
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.11 V

Explanation:

Given that the Einstein photoelectric equation states that;

KE = E - Wo

E = energy of incident photon

Wo= work function of the metal

E = hf = 6.64 x 10-34 * 6 x 1014

E = 39.84 * 10^-20 J or 3.98  * 10^-19 J

KE = 3.98  * 10^-19 J - 2.2 x 10-19J

KE = 1.78 *  10^-19J

We convert this value of KE to electron volts

KE = 1.78 *  10^-19J/1.6 x 10-19C

KE = 1.11 eV

Hence; 1.11 V will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plate reaching the collector plate.

The energy levels of a particular quantum object are -11.7 eV, -4.2 eV, and -3.3 eV. If a collection of these objects is bombard
gogolik [260]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply an energy balance equation in each of the states to assess what their respective relationship is.

By definition the energy balance is simply given by the change between the two states:

|\Delta E_{ij}| = |E_i-E_j|

Our states are given by

E_1 = -11.7eV

E_2 = -4.2eV

E_3 = -3.3eV

In this way the energy balance for the states would be given by,

|\Delta E_{12}| = |E_1-E_2|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = |-11.7-(-4.2)|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = 7.5eV\\

|\Delta E_{13}| = |E_1-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = |-11.7-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = 8.4eV

|\Delta E_{23}| = |E_2-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = |-4.2-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = 0.9eV

Therefore the states of energy would be

Lowest : 0.9eV

Middle :7.5eV

Highest: 8.4eV

A block of wood is tied to the bottom of a large container of water so that the block is completely submerged. The density of th
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

58.9 N

Explanation:

The wood is buoyed up by the mass of the water is displaces

  wood volume = .030 m^3 = 30 000 cm^3

   mass of water displaced = 30 000 g = 30  kg

wood mass =   800 kg/m^3  * .030 m^3 = 24 kg

so tension in string    = mg   = (   30 kg - 24 kg) * 9.81 m/s^2 = 58.9 N

A nearsighted person cannot see objects further away than 10 m clearly. This person wants to be able to see objects 300 m away w
icang [17]

Answer:

d.-10.3m

Explanation:

Note for short sightedness the focal length is negative

Let do be object distance=10m

And di= image distance=-300m

Using lens formula

F=do*di/do-di= 10*300/10-300=-10.3m
