Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 1m/s

Explanation: according to the law of conservation of linear momentum in an isolated system, the momentum of the gun equals that of the bullet.

Mathematically

Mb×Vb = Mg×Vg

Where Mb = mass of bullet = 1/100 = 0.01 kg

Vb = velocity of bullet = 200 m/s

Mg = mass of gun = 2kg

Vg = recoil velocity of gun =?

0.01×200 = 2×Vg

Vg = 0.01×200/2

Vg = 0.01×100

Vg = 1m/s

White light, with frequencies ranging from 4.00 x 10^14 Hz to 7.90 x 10^14 Hz, is incident on a barium surface. Given that the w

REY [17]

Answer:

0.7515875 eV

$4\times 10^{14}\leq f$

Explanation:

f = Maximum frequency = $7.9\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

W = Work function = 2.52 eV

Converting to Joules

$W=2.52\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\Rightarrow W=4.032\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Maximum photon energy is given by

$E=hf\\\Rightarrow E=6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 7.9\times 10^{14}\\\Rightarrow E=5.23454\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Maximum Kinetic energy is given by

$K=E-W\\\Rightarrow K=5.23454\times 10^{-19}-4.032\times 10^{-19}\\\Rightarrow K=1.20254\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Converting to eV

$1.20254\times 10^{-19}\times \frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=0.7515875\ eV$

The maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from this surface is 0.7515875 eV

$W=hf\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{W}{h}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{4.032\times 10^{-19}}{6.626\times 10^{-34}}\\\Rightarrow f=6.08512\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

The range of frequencies for which no electrons are ejected is

$4\times 10^{14}\leq f$

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left

Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux. It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.

What is the difference between a neap and a spring tide in terms of size?

Mamont248 [21]

Spring tides occur when the moon is either new or full, and the sun, the moon, and the Earth are aligned. ... neap tide- A tide in which the difference between high and low tide is the least. Neap tides occur twice a month when the sun and moon are at right angles to the Earth.
