Answer:

Lithium

Explanation:

The equation for the photoelectric effect is

\frac{hc}{\lambda}= \phi + K_{max}

where

\frac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incident photon, with

h being the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

\phi is the work function of the metal (the minimum energy needed to extract the photoelectron from the metal)

K_{max} is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons

In this problem, we have

\lambda= 190 nm = 1.9\cdot 10^{-7}m is the wavelength of the incident photon

K_{max}=4.0 eV is the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons

First of all we can find the energy of the incident photon

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.90\cdot 10^{-7} m}=1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J

Converting into electronvolts,

E=\frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.6 eV

So now we can re-arrange the equation of the photoelectric effect to find the work function of the metal

\phi = E-K_{max}=6.6 eV - 4.0 eV=2.6 eV

So the metal is most likely Lithium, which has a work function of 2.5 eV.

On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) \Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b) \Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

Explanation:

a)

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred,dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J

initial temperature of car, T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K

final temperature of car, T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)} (heat is transferred into the system of car)

\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b)

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J

initial temperature of house, T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K

final temperature of house, T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}

\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

Find the force between 2C and -1C separated by a distance 1m. Indicate if it is an attractive force (negative) or a repulsive fo
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Its definitely an Attractive force since the two charges are Unlike.

From Coulombs Law

F=kq1q2/R²

Given

K=9x10^9

R=1m

q1=2C

q2=-1C

F=(9x10^9 x 2 x -1)/1²

F= - 1.8x10^10N. (Attractive).

The crankshaft in a race car goes from rest to 3000 rpm in 2.0 s.
a_sh-v [17]
The equations are analogous to that for linear movement:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
acceleration = (3000 rpm - 0 rpm) / 2.0 s
a) acceleration = 1500 rpm/s or 25 rp(s^2)
For the displacement
displacement = initial velocity*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2
displacement = (0)*(2 s) + (0.5)(25 rps^2)*(2 s)^2
b) displacement = 50 revolutions

A Carnot engine has a power output of 150 kW. The engine operates between two reservoirs at 20.0°C and 500°
Nookie1986 [14]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>
