Newton's third law tells us that for every force there is an equal and opposite force.  This means that if Anna exerts a force of 20 Newtons on the box, the box exerts a force of 20 Newtons on Anna.

Answer:

The magnitude of the force exerted by the box on Anna is 20 newtons.

Explanation:

It is given that, Anna needs to move a box of paperback books across the room. If she applies a force of 20 newtons to the box. We need to find the magnitude of the force exerted by the box on Anna.

The force exerted by the box on Anna is 20 newtons but it acts in the opposite direction as per Newton's third law of motion. The third law of motion explains the impact of forces i.e. action and reaction force.

So, the magnitude of the force exerted by the box on Anna is also 20 newtons. Hence, this is the required solution.

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '.  Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.

To understand the experiment that led to the discovery of the photoelectric effect.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A) Emin = eV

B) Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

Explanation:

A)

Energy of electron is the product of electron charge and the applied potential difference.

The energy of an electron in this electric field with potential difference V will be eV. Since this is the least energy that the electron must reach to break out, then the minimum energy required by this electron will be;

Emin = eV

B)

The maximum stopping potential energy is eVo,

The energy of the electron due to the light is E_light.

If the minimum energy electron must posses is Φ, then the minimum energy electron must have to reach the detectors will be equal to the energy of the light minus the maximum stopping potential energy

Φ = E_light - eVo

Therefore,

eVo = E_light - Φ

Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e
