Missing part in the text of the problem: 
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>

First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/(g K) is the specific heat capacity of the water
\Delta T=2.5 K is the increase in temperature.

Substituting the data, we find
Q=(1.8 g)(4.18 J/(gK))(2.5 K)=18.8 J=E

We know that each photon carries an energy of
E_1 = hf
where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:
\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^{-6} m}=1 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is
E_1 = hf =(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} J)(1 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{18.8 J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J} =2.84 \cdot 10^{20} photons

How much force is needed to accelerate a bicycle and rider with a total mass of 50 kg at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 ?
True [87]

Answer:

The answer is D 100 newton

Explanation:

2.0m/s2 is d acceleration while the 50kg is the mass. Force = mass x acceleration. So f=50x2.so force is 100 newton

PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY HOMEWORK!!!!!
IgorC [24]

Known :

l = 7 cm

w = 4 cm

Asked :

h = ...?

Answer :

V = B triangle × h (long)

35 = ½ × 4 × h × 7

35 = ½ × 28 × h

35 = 14 h

h = 35 ÷ 14

h = 2,5 cm

Sorry if I am wrong, I only study

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the
Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

\rm KE=3 \phi

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

\Delta p=2.27\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

Explanation:

The momentum change is defined as:

\Delta p=p_f-p_i\\\Delta p=mv_f-mv_i\\\Delta p=m(v_f-v_i)(1)

Taking the downward motion as negative and the upward motion as positive, we have:

v_f=2\frac{m}{s}(2)\\v_i=-2\frac{m}{s}(3)

Replacing (2) and (3) in (1):

\Delta p=567*10^{-3}kg(2\frac{m}{s}-(-2\frac{m}{s}))\\\Delta p=2.27\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}
