what did classical physics predict about electron flow as a result of light shining on a metal surface?

This looks like the photo electric effect ... classical physics reckoned that if you shone an intense enough light beam on a metal you could get electrons ejected from the metal (maybe in analogy to thermionic emission - heat). It sort of "forgot" about the frequency and photon/particle nature of light.
Enter the "photo electric" effect experiment, Einstein's explanation, and the Nobel committee having an excuse to award E a Nobel prize, even though said prize was probably more for relativity.

Concerning the work done by a conservative force, which of the following statements, if any, are true? It can always be expresse
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

Explanation:

In Physics we define a conservative force as a force that is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

For conservative forces we can write;

KEi + PEi = KEf +PEf

where;

KEi= initial kinetic energy

PEi= initial potential energy

KEf= final kinetic energy

PEf= final potential energy

This equation is known as the principle conservation of mechanical energy . It applies only to conservative forces where friction is negligible. The term KE + PE  is also known as the total mechanical energy of the system.

Consider the following four objects: a hoop, a solid sphere, a flat disk, a hollow sphere. Each of the objects has mass M and ra
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Hoop.

Explanation:

The angular acceleration performed at a given torque:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}

The moments of inertia of each element are described below:

Hoop

I = M\cdot R^{2}

Solid sphere

I = \frac{2}{5}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}

Flat disk

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}

Hollow sphere

I = \frac{2}{3}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}

The greater the moment of inertia, the greater the torque to obtain the same angular acceleration. Therefore, the hoop requires the largest torque to receive the same angular acceleration.

A ball has a mass of 2 kg and is thrown with a force of 8 Newtons for .35 seconds. What is the ball's change in
Anna [14]

Answer:

1.4s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 2kg

Force  = 8N

Time  = 0.35s

Unknown:

Change in velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression obtained from Newton's second law of motion which is shown below:

      Ft  = m(v  - u)

 So;

         Ft  = m Δv

F is the force

t is the time

m is the mass

Δv is the change in velocity

             8 x 0.35  = 2 x Δv

                  Δv  = 1.4s

According to Archimedes' Principle, what condition has to be met for an object to float?you will get branliest
MissTica

Explanation:

The buoyant force must be greater to float, otherwise it would sink, its like a barrel in water, the more water weight in it the more it sinks, the more air weight the more it rises.
