Answer:

initial velocity=2.4m/s

Explanation:

Using the formula:

v=u+at

v= final velocity (6m/s)

u=initial velocity (???)

a=acceleration (0.2 m/s²)

t=time(18 seconds)

v=u+at

6=u+(0.2*18)

6=u+3.6

u=6-3.6

u (initial velocity)=2.4m/s

Which statement best explains what must take place for water to boil

svetlana [45]

For water to boil, you need a pot of water and a stove. You put the pot on the stove until the water bubbles, this is called boiling hope this helps lol (:

Find the energy of one quantum of microwave radiation with frequency 4 GHz and with 500 GHz .

REY [17]

Answer:

1. $1.65*10^{-5} eV$ and $2.07*10^{-3}eV$ 2. $2.10*10^{-7}m$

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the so-called Planck-Einstein relation:

$E=fh=\frac{ch}{\lambda}$

where E is the energy, f the frequency, $\lambda$ the wavelength, c the speed of light and h the planck constant

So, we have:

$E=fh\\E=(4*10^9Hz)(4.136*10^{-15}eV*s)=1.65*10^{-5} eV\\$

And:

$E=fh\\E=(5*10^{11}Hz)(4.136*10^{-15}eV*s)=2.07*10^{-3} eV\\$

2. The work function is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the material. Therefore the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons will be the energy of the electromagnetic radiation minus the work function:

$K=E-W$

Where K is the kinetic energy and W the work function, for copper W=4.7eV

Rewriting for $\lambda$ :

$E=K+W\\\frac{ch}{\lambda}=K+W\\\lambda=\frac{ch}{K+W}\\\lambda=\frac{(3*10^8m/s)4.136*10^{-15}eV}{1.2eV+4.7eV}=2.10*10^{-7}m$

This wavelength corresponds to the ultraviolet range
