Answer

given,

force = 100 N

Point 37 degrees north of east

a) and b) part is shown in the diagram attached below.

c) to find the x and y component of the force

x- component of the force

$F_x = F cos \theta$

$F_x = 100\times cos 37^0$

$F_x = 79.86 N$

y- component of the force

$F_y = F sin \theta$

$F_y = 100\times sin 37^0$

$F_y = 60.18 N$

Two equal forces are applied to a door. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; the second force is applied at t

Olenka [21]

Answer:

b) the second at the doorknob.

Explanation:

The torque applied by a force is given by the equation

$\tau = F_p d$

where

$\tau$ is the torque

$F_p$ is the component of the force perpendicular to the direction between the axis of rotation and the point of application of the force

d is the arm (the distance between the axis of rotation and the point of application of the force)

In this problem, we have two equal forces F both applied perpendicular to a door, so

$F_p = F$

The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; if we call L the width of the door, then the arm of this force is $d_1=\frac{L}{2}$ , so the torque applied by this first force is

$\tau_1 = F\frac{L}{2}$

The 2nd force instead is applied at the doorknob, so the arm in this case is L:

d = L

So, the torque exerted by the second force is

$\tau_2 = FL$

Therefore, we see that the 2nd force exerts a greater torque.

A photoelectric effect experiment finds a stopping potential of 1.93 V when light of wavelength 200 nm is used to illuminate the

PSYCHO15rus [73]

a) zinc

The equation of the photoelectric effect is:

$E=\phi + K$ (1)

where

E is the energy of the incident light

$\phi$ is the work function

$K$ is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons

Here the wavelength of the incident light is

$\lambda=200 nm = 2\cdot 10^{-7} m$

so the energy of the light is

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2\cdot 10^{-7} m}=9.95\cdot 10^{-19} J$

Converting into electronvolts,

$E=\frac{9.95\cdot 10^{-19}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.22 eV$ (2)

The stopping potential is the potential needed to stop the photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energy: so, the electrical potential energy corresponding to the stopping potential (V=1.93 V) must be equal to the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons,

$U=q V = K$

and since the charge of the electron is

1 q = 1 e

We have

$K=(1 e)(1.93 V)=1.93 eV$ (3)

Combining (1), (2) and (3), we find the work function of the material:

$\phi = E-K=6.22 eV-1.93 eV=4.29 eV$

So, the cathode is most likely made of zinc, which has a work function of 4.3 eV.

b) The stopping potential does not change

As we said in part A), the stopping potential is proportional to the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, K.

The intensity of light is proportional to the number of photons that hit the surface of the metal. However, the energy of these photons does not depend on the intensity, but only on the frequency of the light.

Therefore, the energy of the photons (E) does not change when the intensity of light is doubled. Also, the work function $\phi$ does not change: this means that the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, K, does not change, and so the stopping potential remains the same.

HELP!! Explain why a more streamlined car generally will have a better fuel economy than a bulkier car with the same mass.

Nat2105 [25]

Streamlined means less air resistance. The car will need less force so less fuel in order to overcome air resistance. This will make it more fuel efficient.

How does the mass of a bowling ball that has been rolled down the lane affect the kinetic energy?

solniwko [45]

The heavier it is the more frictions it creates sliding on the floor. this make more kinetic energy.
