Answer:

B

Explanation:

When ever there is a collision between two bodies , according to Newton 's third law of motion both bodies irrespective of their masses exert  force of same magnitude , in opposite direction and these forces always act in a straight line . hence B is the choice

What is the maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from barium when illuminated by white light, to 750 nm?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1.0045\times10^{-19} J

Explanation:

The complete statement is given as

What is the maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from barium (Wo = 2.48 eV) when illuminated by white light, 400 nm to 750 nm ?

\lambda = wavelength of the white light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m

c = speed of white light = 3 x 10⁸ ms⁻¹

Energy of the white light is given as

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{(6.63\times10^{-34})(3\times10^{8})}{400\times10^{-9}}\\E = 4.9725\times10^{-19} J

W_{o} = Work function of barium = 2.48 eV = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K = Maximum kinetic energy

Using photoelectric equation we have

E = W_{o} + K\\4.9725\times10^{-19} = 2.48\times1.6\times10^{-19} + K\\K = 1.0045\times10^{-19} J

A horse walks along a straight path. it travels 3 in one second, 4 m in the next second, and 5 m in the third second. describe t
Temka [501]

Answer: The horse is moving with a uniform acceleration

Explanation:

According to the described situation, we are dealing with a <u>constant acceleration</u> (also called <u>uniform acceleration</u>), since the horse's velocity is changingn by a constant rate.

Let's prove it:

Firstly we are told the horse follows a straight path. In addition we are given its velocity:

3 m/s, then 4 m/s and 5 m/s

Since acceleration a is defined as the change of velocity in time we can calculate it:

a\frac{4 m/s-3 m/s}{1 s}=1m/s^{2} This is the horse's constant acceleration

A loaded Costco shopping cart has a weight of 188 pounds(lb). You have to push the cart with a force of 14 pounds(lb) to keep it
8090 [49]

Answer:

Force of friction = 14 pound

Explanation:

Magnitude = Force / Weight

Magnitude = 14 / 188

Magnitude = 0.074

So,

Force of friction = 14 pound

Force of friction is same as forcee

Assume that the total cholesterol levels for adults are normally distributed with mean cholesterol level of 51.6 ​mg/dL and stan
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

therefore, the probability that an individual will have a cholesterol level greater than 60 ​mg/dL.= 0.27

Explanation:

given data

Normal distribution

mean cholesterol level μ= 51.6 ​mg/dL

Standard deviation σ=  14.3 ​mg/dL

x= 60 mg/dL

We have to find out P(x>60)

We Know that P(x>a) =P(Z>(a-\mu)/\sigma)

therefore, P(x>60) =P(Z>(60-51.3)/14.3)

= P(Z>0.61)

= 1 - P(Z<0.61)

= 1 - 0.7291

= 0.27

therefore, the probability that an individual will have a cholesterol level greater than 60 ​mg/dL.= 0.27

On the planet Xenophous a 1.00 m long pendulum on a clock has a period of 1.32 s. What is the free fall acceleration on Xenophou
myrzilka [38]
The period of the pendulum is given by the following equation

T = 2<span>π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity (free fall acceleration)

L is the longitude of the pendulum

T is the period.

We find g.............> (T /2</span>π)<span>^</span><span>2 = L/g

g = L/(</span>T /2π)^2...........> g = 22.657 m/s^2
