Answer:

2.13 x 10^-19 J or 0.53 eV

Explanation:

cut off wavelength, λo = 700 nm = 700 x 10^-9 m

λ = 400 nm = 400 x 10^-9 m

Use the energy equation

E = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K

Where, K be the work function

\frac{h c}{\lambda} = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K

K =hc\left ( \frac{1}{\lambda } -\frac{1}{\lambda _{0}}\right )

K =6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}\left ( \frac{1}{4\times 10^{-7} } -\frac{1}{7\times 10^{-7}}\right )

K = 2.13 x 10^-19 J

K = 0.53 eV

Students perform a set of experiments by placing a block of mass m against a spring, compressing the spring a distance x along a
Verizon [17]

Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.

  • The statement that indicates how the relationship between <em>v</em> and <em>x</em> changes is;<u> As </u><u><em>x</em></u><u> increases, </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> will be less for the same value of </u><u><em>x</em></u><u>.</u>

Reasons:

The energy given  to the block by the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2}

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

On a flat plane, energy given to the block = 0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2 = kinetic energy of

block = 0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2

Therefore;

0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²

Which gives;

x² ∝ v²

x ∝ v

On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;

The energy of the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2}

  • The force of the weight of the block on the string, F = m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta)

The energy given to the block = 0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta) = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2}

Which gives;

0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta) = 0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2

Which is of the form;

a·x² - b = c·v²

a·x² + c·v² = b

Where;

a, b, and <em>c</em> are constants

The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b  is an ellipse

Therefore;

  • As <em>x</em> increases, <em>v</em> increases, however, the value of <em>v</em> obtained will be lesser than the same value of <em>x</em> as when the block is on a flat plane.

<em>Please find attached a drawing related to the question obtained from a similar question online</em>

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

  • <em>As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x</em>
  • <em>The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases</em>

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect
nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

The massless spring of a spring gun has a force constant k=12~\text{N/cm}k=12 N/cm. When the gun is aimed vertically, a 15-g pro
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

0.011 m.

Explanation:

Energy stored in the spring = Energy of the projectile.

1/2ke² = mgh ................ Equation 1

Where k = spring constant, e = extension or compression, m = mass of the projectile, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

make e the subject of the equation

e = √(2mgh/k)............................. Equation 2

Given: k = 12 N/cm = 1200 N/m, m = 15 g = 0.015 kg, h = 5.0 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

e = √(2×0.015×5/1200)

e = √(0.15/1200)

e = √(0.000125)

e = 0.011 m.
