While two forces act on it, a particle of mass m=3.2kg is it to move continuously with velocity (3m/s)i - (4m/s)j . one of the f

orces is F1 = (2N)i + (-6N)j . what is the other force?

Mmm tricky.
Since the velocity is constant, I'm going to assume there is no acceleration in any direction. This means there is no net force in the I or J forection!

Since there are 2 forces, both must be equal and opposite in direction to perfectly cancel each other out.

So the opposite of F1 is (-2N)I + (6N)J!

A 500.-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 60.0-meter hill.

Paraphin [41]

1.47x10^5 Joules
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

When hiking at altitude, the air pressure drops to 825,000Pa. Solve the force that site exerts against the side of a rectangular

OLga [1]

Answer:

The force is $1237500N$

Explanation:

We can apply the following expression

$pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

To find the area of rectangular tent wall:

$Area=length *width\\Area=2.00m*0.750m\\Area=1.5m^{2}$

Now to find the force:

$pressure=825,000pa$

$pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

$Force=pressure*Area\\Force=825000pa*1.5m^{2} \\Force=1237500N$

How are density and pressure related related to each other?

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The pressure is the measure of force acting on a unit area. Density is the measure of how closely any given entity is packed, or it is the ratio of the mass of the entity to its volume. The relation between pressure and density is direct. Change in pressure will be reflected in a change in density

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

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