Answer:

K(maximum) = 0.284 eV

Explanation:

Given data

work function ω = 3.60 eV = 3.60 × 1.6 ×10^{-19} = 5.76 ×10^{-19} J

wavelength λ = 320 nm  = 320 ×10^{-9} m

to find out

maximum kinetic energy

solution

we know that speed of light is =  3 ×10^{8} m/s

and planck constant h = 6.63 ×10^{-34} J.s

we will apply here Einstein's photo elecric equation that is

hc/λ  =  ω + K(maximum)

put here all these value we get

6.63 ×10^{-34} ×  3 ×10^{8}  / 320 ×10^{-9} =   5.76 ×10^{-19}  + K(maximum)

so

K(maximum) = 6.63 ×10^{-34} ×  3 ×10^{8}  / 320 ×10^{-9} - 5.76 ×10^{-19}

K(maximum) = 0.4556 ×10^{-19}  J

K(maximum) = 0.4556 ×10^{-19}  / 1.6  ×10^{-19}

K(maximum) = 0.284 eV

When is the velocity of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A.  when the mass has a displacement of zero

Explanation:

The velocity of a mass on a spring can be calculated by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total energy of the mass-spring system is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy (U) of the spring and the kinetic energy (K) of the mass:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring

m is the mass

v is the velocity of the mass

Since the total energy E must remain constant, we can notice the following:

- When the displacement is zero (x=0), the velocity must be maximum, because U=0 so K is maximum

- When the displacement is maximum, the velocity must be minimum (zero), because U is maximum and K=0

Based on these observations, we can conclude that the velocity of the mass is at its maximum value when the displacement is zero, so the correct option is A.

During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:

CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :

MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol

MM CuO = 79 g/mol

MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.

So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which  "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)
