Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?
1 answer:
Answer:
A. Two tennis balls that are near each other
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is
where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.
Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.
If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.
The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.
The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.
Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.

Answer:
The shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm
Explanation:
Given;
wavelength of ultraviolet light, λ = 270 nm
work function of the metal, φ = 2.3 eV = 2.3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The energy of the ultraviolet light is given by;
The energy of the incident light is related to kinetic energy of the electron and work function of the metal by the following equation;
E = φ + K.E
K.E = E - φ
K.E = (7.362 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) - (3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J )
K.E = 3.677 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
mv² = 2K.E
velocity of the electron is given by;
the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons is given by;
Therefore, the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm
