If an object has zero acceleration, does that mean it has zero velocity?

Not really as acceleration is rate of change of velocity therefore zero acceleration would Mean that the velocity is constant

Of course ! Anything moving in a straight line at a constant speed has zero acceleration. Acceleration is a CHANGE in the direction or speed of motion.

What role does activation energy play in an exothermic reaction?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer A material that decreases the rate of a reaction. The amount of energy that reactants must absorb before a chemical reaction will start also called free energy of activation. What role does activation energy pay in chemical reactions? Activation energy is the energy absorbed before it can start a chemical reaction.

The work function of a metal surface is 4.80 × 10-19 J. The maximum speed of the electrons emitted from the surface is vA = 7.7

Answer:

$\lambda_A=2.65177\times 10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda_B=3.32344\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.63\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

m = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

$W_0$ = Work function = $4.8\times 10^{-19}\ J$

$v_A$ = Velocity of A particle = $7.7\times 10^5\ m/s$

$v_B$ = Velocity of B particle = $5.1\times 10^5\ m/s$

The wavelength is given by

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_0}$

$\lambda_A=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\frac{1}{2}9.11\times 10^{-31}(7.7\times 10^5)^2+4.8\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_A=2.65177\times 10^{-7}\ m$

The wavelength $\lambda_A=2.65177\times 10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda_B=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\frac{1}{2}9.11\times 10^{-31}(5.1\times 10^5)^2+4.8\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_B=3.32344\times 10^{-7}\ m$
