Answer:

Not to have any contact between fuel pump and tank.

Explanation:

Static spark occurs when there is a imbalance of electric charges at surface of any material. This can even  result into high damage especially while filling boat tank, hence measures should be taken to prevent static sparks.

* Make sure not to have any contact between the brim or surface of fuel pump and the tank's opening.

* Fill the tank carefully without spilling the fuel in water.

* Never fill the tank up to its maximum capacity.

To prevent static sparks that could occur while you fill fuel is that, a person who is filling the tank should remember that the nozzle of the fuel pump hose should always be in connected or in contact to the tank. This will prevent static sparks from happening to the boat that is going to be used and prevent harm to the person using or refilling the fuel.

When UV light of wavelength 248 nm is shone on aluminum metal, electrons are ejected withmaximum kinetic energy 0.92 eV. What ma
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is 303.7 nm

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the UV light, λ = 248 nm = 248 x 10⁻⁹ m

maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron, K.E = 0.92 eV

let the work function of the aluminum metal = Ф

Apply photoelectric equation:

E = K.E + Ф

Where;

Ф is the minimum energy needed to eject electron the aluminum metal

E is the energy of the incident light

The energy of the incident light is calculated as follows;

E = hf = h\frac{c}{\lambda} \\\\where;\\\\h \ is \ Planck's \ constant = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ Js\\\\c \ is \ speed \ of \ light = 3 \times 10^{8} \ m/s\\\\E = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34})\times (3\times 10^8)}{248\times 10^{-9}} \\\\E = 8.02 \times 10^{-19} \ J

The work function of the aluminum metal is calculated as;

Ф = E - K.E

Ф = 8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹  -  (0.92 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

Ф =  8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ J   -  1.474 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Ф = 6.546 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is calculated as;

\phi = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{max}} \\\\\lambda_{max} = \frac{hc}{\phi} \\\\\lambda_{max} = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}) \times (3 \times 10^8) }{6.546 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\\lambda_{max} = 3.037 \times 10^{-7} m\\\\\lambda_{max} = 303.7 \ nm

The total consumption of electrical energy in the United States is about 1.0 1019 joules per year.
dexar [7]

Answer:

a) 316880878140.2895 Joules

b) 1056.26 Joules

c) 372.80103310622 km²

Explanation:

Energy consumption

E=\frac{P}{t}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{1\times 10^{19}}{365.25\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow E=316880878140.2895\ W

Average rate of electrical energy consumption is 316880878140.2895 Joules

Total population = 300 million

E=\frac{316880878140.2895}{300\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow E=1056.26\ J

Each person consumes 1056.26 Joules.

Efficiency = 0.85

Power from Sun

0.85\times 1000=850\ W/m^2

Area

\frac{316880878140.2895}{850}=372801033.10622\ m^2

Converting to km²

372801033.10622=\frac{372801033.10622}{1000\times 1000}=372.80103310622\ km^2

Area required to collect the electrical energy used in the United States is 372.80103310622 km²

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!
liq [111]

Answer:

r = 0.37 m

Explanation:

Use Coulomb's law to solve for r:

F = kq1q2/r^2

---> r^2 = kq1q2/F

= (8.99×10^9)(5.6×10^-4)(-2.1×10^-4)/(-7.7×10^3)

= 0.1373 m^2

or r = 0.37 m
