Answer:
A) Emin = eV
B) Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e
Explanation:
A)
Energy of electron is the product of electron charge and the applied potential difference.
The energy of an electron in this electric field with potential difference V will be eV. Since this is the least energy that the electron must reach to break out, then the minimum energy required by this electron will be;
Emin = eV
B)
The maximum stopping potential energy is eVo,
The energy of the electron due to the light is E_light.
If the minimum energy electron must posses is Φ, then the minimum energy electron must have to reach the detectors will be equal to the energy of the light minus the maximum stopping potential energy
Φ = E_light - eVo
Therefore,
eVo = E_light - Φ
Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e
In general,
Power = (energy moved) / (time to move the energy) .
If it's mechanical power, then
Power = (work done) / (time to do the work) .
If it's electrical power, then it can be any one of these:
Power = (volts) x (amperes)
Power = (volts)² / (resistance, ohms)
Power = (amperes)² x (resistance, ohms) .
Whatever kind of energy you're dealing with, power always
turns out to be
(amount of energy produced, used, or moved)
divided by
(time taken to produce, use, or move the energy) .
The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J
Explanation:
First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).
As,
Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height
PE = m*g*h --- (A)
In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.
mg = 50N
h = height = 1.5m
Plug the values in equation (A):
PE = 50 * 1.5 = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>
