Answer:

Photoelectric effect

Explanation:

In the photoelectric effect, when an x-ray strikes on a metal surface, the energy is completely absorbed by the metal. If the energy would be equal to or more than work function of metal, electron ejects out. The kinetic energy of the electron which is ejected depends on the energy of the incident radiation and work function of the metal.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity after the 4 gram pencil strikes is v .

kinetic energy of the combination = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x ( 4 + 221 ) x 10⁻³ x v² = work done by friction

friction force acting on the combination = 225 x10⁻³x .325 x 9.8 = .7166 N

work done by friction

= .7166 x .119 = .085 J

.5 x 225 x 10⁻³ v² = .085

v² = .085 / .1125 = .7555

v = .8692 m = 86.92 cm /s

Velocity of combination after collision = 86.92 cm /s

Let velocity of pencil before collision be V

Applying law of conservation of momentum at the time of collision ,

4 x V = 225 x 86.92

V = 4889.25 cm / s

= 48.9 m /s .

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of a body can be defined as the amount work needed to accelerate a body of mass, m, from a position of rest to a particular velocity.

It is also the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.

Mathematically, it is given as:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

As seen from the formula, the Kinetic energy is dependent on the mass of the body, m, and the square of the velocity, v.

Typically, the mass of an object is a constant value, hence, the kinetic energy varies as velocity varies.
