You are driving at 35 m/s east and notice another car that is initially located 462 m in front of you and is moving east at 25 m

/s. How far do you travel before you pass the other car?

The easiest way to answer this question is by realizing there are relating the velocities of the two cars. To tackle this problem, you have to understand the picture.  Car 1 travels at 35m/s and Car 2 travels at 25m/s.  Based on relative velocities, we can understand that Car 1 travels 10m/s faster than Car 2 every second.  So we can interpret Car 1's relative velocity to Car 2 as 10m/s.  Car 1 needs to travel 10m/s till a point of catching up to Car 2 which is 462m away.

v = 10m/s

d = 462m

v = d/t

(10) = (462)/t

t = 46.2s

So it takes 46.2 seconds for Car 1 to catch up to Car 2, but the question is asking how far does Car 1 travel to catch up.  So we have to use Car 1's velocity and not the relative velocity:

v = 35m/s

v = d/t

(35) = d/(46.2)

d = 1617m

Car 1 traveled a total distance of 1617m.

-- You are 462 meters behind.

-- You're gaining on him at the rate of  (35m/s - 25m/s)= 10 m/s.

-- At that rate, it'll take you (462m / 10m/s)= 46.2 seconds to over take him.

-- During that time, you'll cover (46.2s x 35m/s)= <em>1,617 meters.</em>

Ejection of Electrons from Hydrogen by Incident Photons Light of wavelength 80 nm is incident on a sample of hydrogen gas, resul
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a)   K_{max} = 1.9 eV = 3.04 10⁻¹⁹ J,b ) This means that some electrons are at the first excited level of the hydrogen atom, which is highly likely as the temperature rises.

Explanation:

a) To calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the expelled electrons let's use the relationships of the photoelectric effect

      K_{max}= h f - Φ

Where K is the kinetic energy, h the Planck constant that is worth 6.63 10⁻³⁴ Js, f the frequency and Φ the work function

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

     c = λ f

Let's analyze the work function, it is the energy needed to start an electron from a metal, in this case to start an electron from a hydrogen atom its fundamental energy is needed, so

     Φ= E₀ = 13.6 eV

let's replace and calculate the energy of the incident photon

     E = h c / λ

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/80 10⁻⁹

     E = 2,486 10⁻¹⁸ J

Let's reduce to eV

     E = 2,486 10⁻¹⁸ (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹)

     E = 15.5 eV

Now we can calculate the kinetic energy

     K_{max}= h c / f - fi

      K_{max} = 15.5 -13.6

     K_{max} = 1.9 eV

b)     Extra energy = 10.2 eV

The total kinetic energy of electrons is

       Total kinetic energy = 1.9 +10.2 = 12.1 eV

For the calculation we are assuming that all the electors are in the hydrogen base state, but for temperatures greater than 0K some electors may be in some excited state, so less energy is needed to tear them out of hydrogen atom.

Let's analyze this possibility

      ΔE = E photon - Total kinetic energy electron

      ΔE = 15.5 - 12.1

      ΔE = 3.4 eV

If we use the Bohr ratio for the hydrogen atom

     E_{n} = 13.606 / n2

     n = √ 13.606 / En

     n = √ (13606 / 3.4)

     n = 2

This means that some electrons are at the first excited level of the hydrogen atom, which is highly likely as the temperature rises.

The ball of a ballpoint pen is 0.5 mm in diameter and has an ASTM grain size of 12. How many grainsare there in the ball
Alina [70]

Answer:

the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter = 0.5 mm

so radius r = 0.25 mm

first we determine the volume of the ball using the following equation;

V = 4/3×πr³

we substitute

V = 4/3×π(0.25)³

V =  0.06544 mm³

Now form table 1.1 "Grain sizes" a metal with grain size number of 12 has about 4,200,000 grains/mm³

so;

Number of grains N = 0.06544 × 4,200,000

N = 274,848 grains

Therefore, the number of grains in the ball is 274,848
