Having aced your Physics 2111 class, you get a sweet summer-job working in the International Space Station. Your room-mate, Cosm

onaut Valdimir tosses a banana at you at a speed of 16 m/s. At exactly the same instant, you fling a scoop of ice cream at Valdimir along exactly the same path. The collision between banana and ice cream produces a banana split 8.2 m from your location 1.4 s after the banana and ice cream were launched.
1. How fast did you toss the ice cream?

2. How far were you from Valdimir when you tossed the ice cream?

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m

g Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m,  λ = 541.96 nm    this is green ligh

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Eintein assuming that the light was made up of particles called photons and these collided with the electrons taking them out of the material.

 

                     K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, hf is the energy of the light quanta and fi is the work function of the material.

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

                   c = λ / f

                  f = c /λ

we substitute

                K = h c / λ - Φ

for the case that they ask us the kinetic energy of the electons is zero (K = 0)

                 h c / λ = Ф

                λ = h c / Ф

we calculate

                 λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ / 3.67 10⁻¹⁸

                 λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m

let's take nm

                lam = 541.96 nm

this is green light

An archeologist on a dig finds a fragment of an ancient
marin [14]

Answer:

19792.96488 years

Explanation:

\tau_{\dfrac{1}{2}} = Half life of carbon-14 atom = 5730 years

Disintegration is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{ln2}{\tau_{\dfrac{1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{ln2}{5730}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.00012\ /years

The distintegration constant

0.093N_0=N_0e^{-\lambda t}\\\Rightarrow 0.093N_0=N_0e^{-0.00012 t}\\\Rightarrow ln\dfrac{1}{0.093}=0.00012t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{ ln\dfrac{1}{0.093}}{0.00012}\\\Rightarrow t=19792.96488\ years

The age of the basket is 19792.96488 years

Potential energy calculation - MxGxH. Gravity equals 10. How much
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]
