In the photoelectric effect, a photon with an energy of 5.3 × 10–19 J strikes an electron in a metal. Of this energy, 3.6 × 10–1

9 J is the minimum energy required for the electron to escape from the metal. The remaining energy appears as kinetic energy of the photoelectron. What is the velocity of the photoelectron, assuming it was initially at rest?

Answer:

The velocity of the photo electron is 6.11\times 10^5\ m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplied energy, E_s=5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J

Minimum energy of the electron to escape from the metal, E_e=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to find the velocity of the photo electron. The energy supplied by the photon is equal to the sum of minimum escape energy and the kinetic energy of the escaping electron. So,

5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J+K\\\\K=5.3\times 10^{-19}-3.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\K=1.7\times 10^{-19}\ J

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.7\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=6.11\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the photo electron is 6.11\times 10^5\ m/s.

A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = .35. If the puck feels a normal force (FN) of 5 N, what is the frict
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force is  F_f =  1.75 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The coefficient of kinetic force is  μk = 0.35

     The normal force felt by the puck is  F_N  =  5 \  N

Generally the frictional force that acts on the puck is mathematically represented as

          F_f =  \mu_k  *  F_N

=>       F_f =  0.35  *  5

=>       F_f =  1.75 \  N

If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?
xxMikexx [17]

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

Red clothes look red  because they REFLECT the red light, and absorb light of other colors.

On a spinning ride at the fair, it is inertia that keeps you moving in a circle. true or false​
lions [1.4K]

False, the inertia does not keep us moving in a circle on a spinning ride at the fair.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Inertia is the resisting force of any object which resists in change in their state. If an object is moving the inertia will act in opposing direction to the force acting on the object stopping its motion.

Similarly, if an object resembles at rest, then the inertia will be acting against the force tending to move that stationary object. So, on a spinning ride at fair, when a person sits there, the inertia acting on the person will prevent the person to falling down from the fair and not in moving in a circle.

If you apply a little bit of force, one will move easier than the other since it is lighter.
