In a photoelectric experiment, you shine light onto an electrode and record a current of 25 μA. When you apply +500 mV to the el

ectrode, the current drops to 19 μA. What is the stopping potential magnitude in V?

Answer:

2.083 V.

Explanation:

Stopping potential is the potential that is required to stop the current to zero . This potential is applied externally to oppose the potential created by the photoelectric effect . It gives the measure the photoelectric potential being generated .

Here current drops to 25 μA to 19 μA by a potential of 500mV

Change in current

= 25 - 19 = 6 μA

Voltage requirement for unit reduction in current

= 500 / 6 μA

To reduce current 0f 25 μA

requirement of V = (500 / 6 )  x 25 =   2083.33 mV = 2.083 V.

Microwave ovens have a plate that rotates at a rate of about 7.0 rev/min. What is this in revolutions per second?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The value is  w =  0.1167 \ rev/second

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The rate at which the plate rotates is  w =7.0 \ rev/min

Generally the revolution per second is mathematically represented as

       w =  \frac{7.0}{60}

=>    w =  0.1167 \ rev/second

Law of conservation<br> of momentum
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum is applied in solving collision problem. When two body collides, their momentum after collision can be determined using the law.

The law States that the sum of momentum of two bodies before collision is equal to the sum of their momentum after collision. Before collision, both bodies moves with a different velocity while during some cases, the bodies moves with a common velocity after collision.

Whether they move with or without the same velocity depends on the type of collision that exists between them after the collision. After collision, some object sticks together and move with a common velocity while some doesn't.

If the bodies sticks together after collision, the type of collision that occur is inelastic (energy is not conserved) and if they splits after collision, the type of collision that occur is an elastic collision (energy is conserved).

Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 be their velocities before collision

v1 and v2 be their velocities after collision.

According to the law;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

Note that momentum = mass × velocity of the body.

How does the quantum mechanical model of the atom describe electrons
Ulleksa [173]

The quantum mechanical model describes the allowed energies an electron can have. It also describes how likely it is to find the electrons in various locations around an atom's nucleus.

What does it mean to say the mass is conserved during a physical change ?
Olin [163]
Mater doesn't just appear or disappeared. Chemical elements are still there just the connections and how it combines changes.

So what goes into your chemical eqation must still exist after the change.
