In a photoelectric experiment using a sodium surface, you find a stopping potential of 1.61 V for a wavelength of 320 nm and a s

topping potential of 0.740 V for a wavelength of 412 nm. From these data find (a) a value for the Planck constant, (b) the work function Φ for sodium, and (c) the cutoff wavelength λ0 for sodium.

Answer:

a) 4.15×10∧-15 eV/s

b) 1.31 eV

c) 950.4 nm

Explanation:

let Ф be the work function.

a) f = c/λ = (3×10^8)/(320×10^-9) = 9.375×10^14 /s

  f = c/λ = (3×10^8)/(412×10^-9) = 7.28×10^14 /s

E = hf +Ф

Energy which relates to the poteial is calculated in eV (electonvolts).

so E = eV

Now using the straight line analogy in the equation above h is the gradient of the line.

Note that energy which relates to the poteial is calculated in eV (electonvolts).

so E = eV

and h = eV/f

h=[(0.74 - 1.61)eV]/[((7.28 - 9.375)×10^14 )/s]

 = 4.15×10^-15 eV/s ≈ 6.65×10^-34 J/s

b)  E = hf +Ф

  eV = hc/λ - Ф

Ф = hc/λ -  eV

   = (4.15×10^-15 eV/s)(3×10^8)/[(320×10^-9) -  (1.60×10^-19)(1.61)eV]

   = 1.31 eV ≈ 2.1×10^-19 J/s

c) Ф = hc/λ0

  λ0 = hc/Ф

       = [(6.65×10^-34 J/s)(3×10^8 )]/ (2.1×10^-19 J/s)

       = 9.50×10^-7 m

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2
Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

                  Force = Mass \times Acceleration

So,

                 Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

                  Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}

What holds the moon in place, orbiting around the Earth
AnnZ [28]

The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity. This means gravity makes the Moon accelerate all the time, even though its speed remains constant.

A 40.0 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 18.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incl
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

7.9m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wagon=40 kg

\theta=18.5^{\circ}

Tension=140 N

Initial velocity of wagon=u=0

Displacement=s=80 m

Net force applied  on wagon=F=T-mgsin\theta=140-40(9.8)sin18.5=15.7 N

By using g=9.8m/s^2

a=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{15.7}{40}=0.39m/s^2

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

v^2=2\times 0.39\times 80

v=\sqrt{2\times 0.39\times 80}=7.9m/s
