Answer:

W = 3.73 eV

Explanation:

Given data:

wavelength of photons 240 nm

kinetic energy 1.45 eV

B y using photoelectric equation

Kinetic Energy  =  Photon Energy - work friction

K.E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} -W

\frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{240\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}} eV

                              = 5.179 eV

                              = 5.18 eVW =  \frac{hc}{\lambda} - K.E

    = (5.18 - 1.45) eV

W = 3.73 eV

What is the anion of the ionic compound NaC2H3O2<br><br> thank you!
KIM [24]

C₂H₃O₂⁻ is an anion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

NaC₂H₃O₂(s)   →  Na⁺(aq)  +  C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq)

NaC₂H₃O₂ when dissociated, yields Na⁺ and C₂H₃O₂⁻.

Anion is a negatively charged ion.

In this case,  C₂H₃O₂⁻ is an anion.

A mortar is like a small cannon that launches shells at steep angles. A mortar crew is positioned near the top of a steep hill.
Elena-2011 [213]

1) Distance down the hill: 1752 ft (534 m)

2) Time of flight of the shell: 12.9 s

3) Final speed: 326.8 ft/s (99.6 m/s)

Explanation:

1)

The motion of the shell is a projectile motion, so we  can analyze separately its vertical motion and its horizontal motion.

The vertical motion of the shell is a uniformly accelerated motion, so the vertical position is given by the following equation:

y=(u sin \theta)t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

where:

u sin \theta is the initial vertical velocity of the shell, with u=156 ft/s and \theta=49.0^{\circ}

g=32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

At the same time, the horizontal motion of the shell is a uniform motion, so the horizontal position of the shell at time t is given by the equation

x=(ucos \theta)t

where u cos \theta is the initial horizontal velocity of the shell.

We can re-write this last equation as

t=\frac{x}{u cos \theta} (1b)

And substituting into (1),

y=xtan\theta -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

where we have choosen the top of the hill (starting position of the shell) as origin (0,0).

We also know that the hill goes down with a slope of \alpha=-41.0^{\circ} from the horizontal, so we can write the position (x,y) of the hill as

y=x tan \alpha (3)

Therefore, the shell hits the slope of the hill when they have same x and y coordinates, so when (2)=(3):

xtan\alpha = xtan \theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Substituting (1b) into this equation,

xtan \alpha = x tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{x}{ucos \theta})^2\\x (tan \theta - tan \alpha)-\frac{g}{2u^2 cos^2 \theta} x^2=0\\x(tan \theta - tan \alpha-\frac{gx}{2u^2 cos^2 \theta})=0

Which has 2 solutions:

x = 0 (origin)

and

tan \theta - tan \alpha=\frac{gx}{2u^2 cos^2 \theta}=0\\x=(tan \theta - tan \alpha) \frac{2u^2 cos^2\theta}{g}=1322 ft

So, the distance d down the hill at which the shell strikes the hill is

d=\frac{x}{cos \alpha}=\frac{1322}{cos(-41.0^{\circ})}=1752 ft=534 m

2)

In order to find how long the mortar shell remain in the air, we can use the equation:

t=\frac{x}{u cos \theta}

where:

x = 1322 ft is the final position of the shell when it strikes the hill

u=156 ft/s is the initial velocity of the shell

\theta=49.0^{\circ} is the angle of projection of the shell

Substituting these values into the equation, we find the time of flight of the shell:

t=\frac{1322}{(156)(cos 49^{\circ})}=12.9 s

3)

In order to find the final speed of the shell, we have to compute its horizontal and vertical velocity first.

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant and it is

v_x = u cos \theta =(156)(cos 49^{\circ})=102.3 ft/s

Instead, the vertical component of the velocity is given by

v_y=usin \theta -gt

And substituting at t = 12.9 s (time at which the shell strikes the hill),

v_y=(156)(cos 49^{\circ})-(32)(12.9)=-310.4ft/s

Therefore, the  final speed of the shell is:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(102.3)^2+(-310.4)^2}=326.8 ft/s=99.6 m/s
