When the tube is filled with mercury vapor, as in this case, a sharp drop in the collected current is observed when the accelera

ting potential reaches 4.9 VV. The current drops suddenly to a negligible value and slowly increases again when the accelerating potential is above 4.9 VV. What is the energy EEE absorbed by the atomic electrons in the mercury atom when the accelerating potential is 4.9 VV

3 0

Answer:

4.9 eV .

Explanation:

It is the case of discharge through mercury tube light . In it , mercury  atoms are exited due to which electrons are sent to higher energy  level . Here current drops to zero because electrons are excited to higher level . Energy are absorbed in quantised manner . Energy absorbed by electrons will be 4.9 eV . That means , difference in energy  between two energy level is  4.9 eV .

In an elastic collision, a 580 kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kozerog [31]

Answer:  vl = 2.75 m/s vt = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.

If both cars are identical and also the drivers have the same mass, we can write the following:

m (vi1 + vi2) = m (vf1 + vf2) (1)

The sum of the initial speeds must be equal to the sum of the final ones.

If we are told that kinetic energy must be conserved also, simplifying, we can write:

vi1² + vi2² = vf1² + vf2² (2)

The only condition that satisfies  (1) and (2) simultaneously is the one in which both masses exchange speeds, so we can write:

vf1 = vi2 and vf2 = vi1

If we call v1 to the speed of the leading car, and v2 to the trailing one, we can finally put the following:

vf1 = 2.75 m/s  vf2 = 1.5 m/s

What’s the velocity of a sound wave traveling through air at a temperature of 18°C (64.4°F)?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

342 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of sound in air is approximated as:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 T

where v is the velocity in m/s and T is the temperature in Celsius.

At T = 18:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 (18)

v ≈ 342.2

The velocity is approximately 342 m/s.

The force exerted by the wind on the sails of a sailboat is Fsail = 330 N north. The water exerts a force of Fkeel = 210 N east.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2

The direction is  \theta =  32.5 6^o north of  east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The force exerted by the wind is  F_{sail} =  (330 ) \ N \ north

   The force exerted by water is  F_{keel} =  (210  ) \ N \ east

      The mass of the boat(+ crew) is  m_b  =  260  \ kg

Now Force is mathematically represented as

      F =  ma

Now the acceleration towards the north is mathematically represented as

      a_n  =  \frac{F_{sail}}{m_b}

substituting values

       a_n  =  \frac{330 }{260}

      a_n  =  1.269 \ m/s^2

Now the acceleration towards the east is mathematically represented as

       a_e = \frac{F_{keel}}{m_b }

substituting values

      a_e = \frac{210}{260}

      a_e =0.808 \ m/s^2

The resultant acceleration is  

      a_r =  \sqrt{a_e^2 + a_n^2}

substituting values

     a_r =  \sqrt{(0.808)^2 + (1.269)^2}

      a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2

The direction with reference from the north is evaluated as

Apply SOHCAHTOA

        tan \theta =  \frac{a_e}{a_n}

       \theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{a_e}{a_n } ]

substituting values

     \theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{0.808}{1.269 } ]

    \theta = tan ^{-1} [0.636 ]

   \theta =  32.5 6^o
