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

Suvat
we have s, u, v and we want a
the suvat equation with these values in is: v^2 = u^2 - 2as
so a = (-v^2 + u^2)/-2s 
plug numbers in
a = (-85^2 + 0^2)/-2*36 = 7225/72 = 100.3... ms^-2

3. A pendulum with a 1.0-kg weight is set in motion from a position 0.04 m above the lowest point on the path of the weight.
gavmur [86]

Answer: K.E = 0.4 J

Explanation:

Given that:

M = 1.0 kg

h = 0.04 m

K.E = ?

According to conservative of energy

K.E = P.E

K.E = mgh

K.E = 1 × 9.81 × 0.04

K.E = 0.3924 Joule

The kinetic energy of the pendulum at the lowest point is 0.39 Joule
