The only force acting on a 3.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is

54.06 Joules.

Explanation:

Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv_1^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*3.6^{2} = 19.44 J in the x direction

Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} mv_2^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*7.0^{2} = 73.5 J in the y direction

Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final

= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J

The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum
Tanya [424]

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case  h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W;  we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this  acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.

Convert the following:
Alika [10]

Explanation:

A) 1 kg = 1000g

2500kg = 2500000g

B 1 hour = 3600 sec

335 hour = 1206000sec

C 1day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 sec

24 hours = 86400sec

When might it be harder to stop a vehicle moving at 30 km/h than one moving at 60 km/h?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

when the momentum of the vehicle moving at 30 km/h is higher than the one from the vehicle moving at 60 km/h

Explanation:

It's much harder to stop a freight truck moving at 30 km/h than a hot wheels car moving at 60 km/h.
