When visible light, X rays, gamma rays, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation are shined on certain kinds of matter, electrons are ejected. That phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect was discovered by German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) in 1887. You can imagine the effect as follows: Suppose that a metal plate is attached by two wires to a galvanometer. (A galvanometer is an instrument for measuring the flow of electric current.) If light of the correct color is shined on the metal plate, the galvanometer may register a current. That reading indicates that electrons have been ejected from the metal plate. Those electrons then flow through the external wires and the galvanometer. HOPE THIS HELPED

What forces contribute to density
mixer [17]
No force contributes to density, the density is a physical quantity that is defined as being \rho = m/V 
 the raport between the mass of the object and its volume. However if you want to measure the density of an object you might want to determine its gravity force (weight) G=mg from which knowing the gravitational acceleratin you can find its mass m=G/g
 
where G is given in Newtons and g=9.81 is given in  (m/s^2)

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of contaminated water

= cross sectional area x height of water level

3.14 x 9 x 9 x 7.5 ft³

= 1907.55 ft³

mass = density x volume

= 1907.55 x 63.5 lbs

m = 121129.425 lbs

This mass has to be raised to the height of 8 ft before evacuation .

There is a rise of centre of mass of

8 - 7.5/2 ft

h = 4.25 ft

Energy required

= mgh

= 121129.425 x 32 x 4.25

= 16473601.8 unit.

A person of mass 70 kg stands at the center of a rotating merry-go-round platform of radius 2.9 m and moment of inertia 900 kg⋅m
Cloud [144]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of person, m = 70 kg

Radius of merry go round, r = 2.9 m

The moment of inertia, I_1=900\ kg.m^2

Initial angular velocity of the platform, \omega=0.95\ rad/s

Part A,

Let \omega_2 is the angular velocity when the person reaches the edge. We need to find it. It can be calculated using the conservation of angular momentum as :

I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2

Here, I_2=I_1+mr^2

I_1\omega_1=(I_1+mr^2)\omega_2

900\times 0.95=(900+70\times (2.9)^2)\omega_2

Solving the above equation, we get the value as :

\omega_2=0.574\ rad/s

Part B,

The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by :

k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega_1^2

k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 900\times (0.95)^2

k_i=406.12\ rad/s

The final rotational kinetic energy is given by :

k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_1+mr^2)\omega_1^2

k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (900+70\times (2.9)^2)(0.574)^2

k_f=245.24\ rad/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
