a) This effect results in emission of electrons out of the lighted area of metals. According to Newtonian mechanics, energy is continuous (may take any value), but photoelectric effect implies using discrete energy ideas.

b) 'Quantum' means 'part' and is being used in physics fir describing light. Light consists of separate particles. This theory fits well what we observe in photoelectric effect: one light particle smashes one electron and it leaves surface of a metal.

c) Quantum mechanics describes everything as wave and particle at a time and it is called dualism. Electrons have separate quantified energetic levels and they go up/down consuming/emitting light waves. The lines in the spectrum fit these energetic levels.

Explanation:

(a)

The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon in which the light of the particular frequency incidents on the material. Then the emission of the electrons from the surface of the material occurs.

This phenomenon could not be explained by Newtonian physics.

In Newtonian physics, the energy is not discrete. In quantum mechanics, the energy is discrete.  This is the main why the photoelectric effect could not be explained by Newtonian physics.

(b)

Light consists of  photons. The photon is a packet of energy. It is also called quanta. The energies of the photons are quantized.  

When a photon strikes on the surface of metal then the energy of photon is absorbed by an electron in the metal so that it may eject from the surface. This phenomenon is called the photoelectric effect.

(c)

In quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality concept is used to explain the wave-particle nature of the light. Light behaves as particle as well as wave. It shows both nature. The photoelectric phenomenon shows the particle nature of the light. It acts as a particle when it hits the surface of the metal.

In line spectra, the electron is excited to an energy level. In this case energy is transferred from photon to electron. There is a collision between photon and electron. The change in momentum will occur. It shows the particle nature of the light.

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Incomplete question as the unit of volume is not written correctly.So the complete question is here:

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm³?

Answer:

d_{Density}=2.7g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=240g

Volume V=89.0 cm³

To find

Density d

Solution

If rock displaces 89.0 cm³ of water means volume of rock is also 89cm³

So

d_{Density}=\frac{mass}{volume}\\d_{Density}=\frac{240g}{89.0cm^{3} } \\d_{Density}=2.7g/cm^{3}

Newtons second law in words??​
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

it's newton's second law

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time–when they\'re not sleep
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

mice total momentum (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m

Explanation:

To calculate the moment of the mice we must multiply their mass by their velocities, remember that the moment is a vector quantity, so we use the components of velocity

mouse 1

  m1 = 0.0225 Kg

  V1 = (0.869, -0.283) m / s

 

  Px = m Vx

  Px1 = 0.0225 0.869

  Px1 = 0.01955 Kg m

  Py = m Vy

  Py1 = 0.0225 (-0.283)

  Py1 = -0.006368 Kg m

  P1 = (0.0196, -0.00637) Kg m

Mouse 2

 m2 = 0.0223 Kg

 Px2 = 0.0223 (-0.883) = -0.0196 Kg m

 Py2 = 0.0223 (-0.253) = -0.00564 Kg m

 P2 = (-0.0196, -0.00564) Kg m

Mouse 3

 m3 = 0.0197

 Px3 = 0.0197 0.345 = 0.00680 Kg m

 Py3 = 0.0197 0.803 = 0.0158 Kg m

 P3 = (0.00680, 0.0158) Kg m

Mouse4

  m4 = 0.0127 Kg

  Px4 = 0.0127 (-0.555) = -0.00705 Kg m

  Py4 = 0.0127 0.205 = 0.00260 Kg m

  P4 = (-0.00705, 0.00260) Kg m

To find the total momentum we must add each component of the individual moments

   Px = Px1 + Px2 + Px3 + Px4  

   Py = py1 + Py2 + Py3 + Py4

   Px = 0.0196 -0.0196 +0.00680 -0.00705

   Px = -0,000250 Kg m

   Py = -0.00637 -0.00564 +0.0158 +0.00260

   Py = 0.00639 Kg m

   P = (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m

Licemer1 [7]

The number of kilowatts used by an individual to operate his appliances is determined as 12.1 kWh.

<h3>Average daily power consumption</h3>

The average daily power consumption is the amount of electric energy consumed by an individual on a daily rate.

The average daily power consumption of individuals in USA is 12,100 W-hr.

<h3>Converting watts to kilowatts</h3>

E = 12,100 Whr/1000

E = 12.1 kWh

Thus, the number of kilowatts used by an individual to operate his appliances is determined as 12.1 kWh.
