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

A 416 kg merry-go-round in the shape of a horizontal disk with a radius of 1.7 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the r
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The torque exerted on the merry-go-round is 766.95 Nm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the merry-go-round, m = 416 kg

radius of the disk, r = 1.7 m

angular speed of the merry-go-round, ω = 3.7 rad/s

time of motion, t = 2.9 s

The torque exerted on the merry-go-round is calculated as;

\tau = Fr= I\alpha\\\\\tau = (\frac{1}{2}  m r^2)(\frac{\omega }{t} )\\\\\tau = (\frac{1}{2} \times 416 \times 1.7^2)( \frac{3.7}{2.9} )\\\\\tau = 766.95 \ Nm

Therefore, the torque exerted on the merry-go-round is 766.95 Nm

The most distal part of a nail is called the ____________ . The most proximal part of the nail that is embedded in the skin is t
ankoles [38]

Answer:

1.Free edge

2.Nail Root

3.Nail matrix

4.lunula

Note: The numbering coincides respectively with the dashes in the questions.

Explanation:

Free edge is the distal white nail ending.

Nail Root is the proximal part of the nail embedded in the skin.

Nail matrix is the actively growing part of the nail were the nail root thickens

Lunula the whitish semilunar area of the proximal end of the nail body it appears whitish because stratum basala obscures. the underlying blood vessels.

Unpolarized light, with an intensity of I0, is incident on an ideal polarizer. A second ideal polarizer is immediately behind th
user100 [1]

Answer:

The light transmitted through the system will be 0.125*I₀.  

Explanation:

The light transmitted through the system can be found using Malus Law:

I = I_{0}cos^{2}(\theta)    (1)

Where:

I: is the intensity of the light transmitted

I₀: is the initial intensity

θ is the angle relative to the first polarizer’s = 60°

Because the light transmitted by the first polarizer is dropped by half, the equation (1) results as:  

I = \frac{I_{0}}{2}cos^{2}(\theta)

I = \frac{I_{0}}{2}cos^{2}(60)

I = 0.125I_{0} = \frac{1}{8}I_{0}

Therefore, the light transmitted through the system will be 0.125*I₀.  

I hope it helps you!

Each molecule of iron oxide is made up of how many iron stone
Anastaziya [24]
<span>The cosmetics industry uses the compound to create various pigments in make-up as well. Most oxide forms are non-toxic, water repellent, and do not run or bleed, making them an ideal additive to products like mascara, liquid and powder foundation, and eye shadow. Oxides can also be found in certain types of health products such as talcum powder, facial cream, and body cream. Some sunblock products contain it as well. Its structure is often thought to help block the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays from damaging human skin.</span>

What is meant by the term blue moon
Andreyy89
“Once in a blue moon” is a common expression that has been used for a long time, and which means 'not very often,' or 'very rarely. ' It often refers to an extra full moon; however, it has been used to describe the way the moon actually looked, when for different reasons it had turned a blueish color.
