An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 115 km/h in 8.83 seconds before striking a simulated deer. The car
1 answer:
We know the equation of motion v = u+ at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.
In this case Final velocity before collision = 115 km/hr = 115*5/18 = 31.94 m/s
Time taken by car to reach this velocity = 8.83 seconds
Initial velocity = 0 m/s
v = u +at
31.94 = 0 + a*8.83
a = 3.62
So acceleration of car just before collision = 3.62

The photoelectric effect is obtained when you shine a light on a material, resulting in the emission of electrons.
The kinetic energy of the electrons depends on the frequency of the light:
K = h(f - f₀)
where:
K = kinetic energy
h = Planck constant
f = light frequency
f₀ = threshold frequency
Rearranging the formula in the form y = m·x + b, we get:
K = hf - hf₀
where:
K = dependent variable
f = <span>indipendent variable
h = slope
hf</span>₀ = y-intercept
Every material has its own threshold frequency, therefore, what stays constant for all the materials is h = Planck constant (see picture attached).
Hence, the correct answer is C) the slope.
