In the photoelectric effect, a photon with an energy of 5.3 × 10–19 J strikes an electron in a metal. Of this energy, 3.6 × 10–1
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the photo electron is 6.11\times 10^5\ m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplied energy, E_s=5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J

Minimum energy of the electron to escape from the metal, E_e=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to find the velocity of the photo electron. The energy supplied by the photon is equal to the sum of minimum escape energy and the kinetic energy of the escaping electron. So,

5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J+K\\\\K=5.3\times 10^{-19}-3.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\K=1.7\times 10^{-19}\ J

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.7\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=6.11\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the photo electron is 6.11\times 10^5\ m/s.

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>

Un tubo metálico tiene 100 metros de longitud cuando está a 0 oC y 100,13 metros cuando se calienta hasta 100 oC. ¿Cuál es el co
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

 α= 1.3 10-5 ºC⁻¹

Explanation:

La dilatación termica de los cuerpos esta dada por la relación  

      ΔL = L₀ α ( T -T₀)

en este caso nos piden el coeficiente de dilatación térmica

     α =DL/L₀ DT

calculemos

      α = (  100,13 -100)/[100 (100 – 0)]

       α = 1,3 10-5 ºC⁻¹

Traduction

The thermal expansion of bodies is given by the relationship

       ΔL = L₀ α (T -T₀)

in this case they ask us for the coefficient of thermal expansion

        α = ΔL / L₀ ΔT

    let's calculate

        α = (100,13 -100) / [100 (100 - 0)]

        α= 1.3 10-5 ºC⁻¹
