The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:

I = mr²

I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass

The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.

I = ∑mr²

The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is

I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4

The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is

I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4

The total moment of inertia of the system is

I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]

I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2

I = 10mℓ²/2

I = 5mℓ²

No. It is D. Science is actually testable. That is the purpose of the scientific method: to TEST a theory. For something to be considered science, you must be able to observe, ask questions, develop questions, and test them. Thefore, it is a process. Lastly, yes. Science is a body of knowledge. It's a subject field that covers many things and numerous sub areas.

Describe how the number of photoelectrons emitted from a metal plate in the photoelectric effect would change if the following o
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b)   λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted,

c)  threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Explanation:

It's photoelectric effect was fully explained by Einstein by the expression

       Knox = h f - fi

Where K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, f the frequency of the incident radiation and fi the work function of the metal

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b) wavelength is related to frequency

         λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted, so there is a wavelength from which electrons cannot be removed from the metal.

c) As the work increases, more frequency radiation is needed to remove the electrons, because there is a threshold energy

        h f =Ф
