A softball player catches a ball of mass m, which is moving towards her with horizontal speed v. While bringing the ball to rest

, her hand moved back a distance d. Assuming constant deceleration, the horizontal force exerted on the ball by the hand is___________________.

Answer:

Explanation:

The work done by the force to stop the ball will decrease the kinetic energy of it. so we can write

W = - ΔK. E

F.d = - (\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f} - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i})

As the final velocity is zero.

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{2d}

g A change in the initial _____ of a projectile changes the range and maximum height of the projectile.​
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Velocity.

Explanation:

Projectile motion is characterized as the motion that an object undergoes when it is thrown into the air and it is only exposed to acceleration due to gravity.

As per the question, 'any change in the initial velocity of the projectile(object having gravity as the only force) would lead to a change in the range as well as the maximum height of the projectile.' To illustrate numerically:

Horizontal range: As per expression:

R= (u^{2}*sin2θ)/g

the range depending on the square of the initial velocity.

Maximum height: As per expression:

H= (u^{2} * sin^{2}θ )/2g

the maximum distance also depends upon square of the initial velocity.

How long does water evaporation take? What factors influence it?
svetoff [14.1K]
There is no certain time on how long it takes. Because the factors will always be different and the factors heavily affect the evaporation time. Some factors include: humidity, heat, how the sun is visible (whether clouds are covering it or not)

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a cobalt surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 0.17 eV are emitted. Fin
dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) 1.21\times 10^{15}Hz

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light  \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda

E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}, here \Phi _0 is work function.

\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}= 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz
