While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily at a speed of 1.01 m/s, and your phone accidentally falls.

(a) The speed of your phone after 4 s is:

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(4)

V= 40.21 m/s

(b) The balloon is ____ far:

V = u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(1)

V=10.81 –distance at 1 one second

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(2)

V= 20.61-distance at 2 seconds

V= u+ at

V= 30.41- distance at 3 seconds

V= 40.21- distance at 4 seconds

D= 102.04 m

(c) If the balloon is rising steadily at 1.01 m/s:

V= -1.1 m/s

The following table lists the work functions of a few common metals, measured in electron volts. Metal Φ(eV) Cesium 1.9 Potassiu

Citrus2011 [14]

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

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

Why is it not advisable to touch a canvas tent from inside when it is raining?

Sauron [17]

Answer: When you touch wet canvas, surface tension will draw water to your finger. However, the drop left behind where you touched, like any irregular point on an overhead surface, will draw condensation from inside the tent if it is humid.
