Suppose a photon with an energy of 1.60 eV strikes a piece of metal. If the electron that it hits loses 0.800 eV leaving the met

al, what is the kinetic energy of the electron once it has broken free of the metal surface?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the change of Energy in photons and the conservation of energy.

From the theory we could consider that the energy change is subject to

\Delta E = E_0 -W_f

Where

E_0 =Initial Energy

W_f = Energy loses

Replacing we have that

\Delta E = 1.6-0.8

\Delta E = 0.8eV

Therefore the Kinetic energy of the electron once it has broken free of the metal surface is 0.8eV

The intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the earth is measured to be 2.5×106 j/(m2⋅s) at a distance of 43 km from the
vampirchik [111]

r₁ = distance of the point from the source = 43 km = 43000 m

I₁ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₁" = 2.5 x 10⁶ W/m²

r₂ = distance of the point from the source = 1.5 km = 1500 m

I₂ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₂" = ?

we know that , for a constant power , the intensity of wave is inversely proportional to the distance from the source .

I α 1/r²             where I = intensity of wave , r = distance from source

hence we can write

I₁/I₂ = r₂²/r₁²

inserting the values

(2.5 x 10⁶) /I₂ = (1500/43000)²

I₂ = 2.1 x 10⁹ W/m²

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 m/s. How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0m? How long
steposvetlana [31]
Given: v0= 18.0 m/s, y0=0m, yf=11m, g=-9.81 m/s^2 

v0= initial velocity, vf= final velocity, y0= initial height, yf= final height, g= gravity, sqrt()= square root, ^2=squared 

vf^2=v0^2 + (2)(g)(yf-y0) 
vf^2=(18.0 m/s)^2+(2)(-9.81 m/s^2)(11 m-0m) 
vf^2=18.0 m/s)^2 + (-19.62 m/s^2)(11 m)
vf^2=(324 m^2/s^2) - (215.82 m^2/s^2) 
vf^2=108.18 m^2/s^2 
vf=sqrt(108.18 m^2/s^2) 
vf=10.4 m/s

Explain why buildings are wired using parallel circuits rather than series circuits
Drupady [299]
In a series circuit . . .

       There is only one path for current to take. 

All the way from one terminal of the power supply, through all of
the lights, computers, vending machines, air conditioners and
everything else in the building, to the other terminal of the electric
supply.  One path ! 

So the current for EVERY device has to flow through ALL of them,
because that's the only path there is.

If any ONE device in the building was turned off, burned out, or
unplugged from the outlet, then there would be NO PATH for the
current, and everything in the building would lose power !      

Not a very convenient way to operate a house or a building.
