Answer:

Magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 2.34 m/s²

Explanation:

Time period of simple pendulum is given by

         T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}, l is the length of pendulum, g is acceleration due to gravity value.

We can solve acceleration due to gravity as

            g=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T^2}

Here

  Length of pendulum = 1.20 m

  Pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 450 s.

  Period, T=\frac{450}{100}=4.5s

Substituting

         g=\frac{4\pi^2\times 1.2}{4.5^2}=2.34m/s^2

Magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 2.34 m/s²

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

A certain runner averages 4.1 m/s over a 10
Ghella [55]

Answer: 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.

Explanation:

1 k = 1000m

race = 10000m

runner time = 10000 / 4.1

runner time = 2439.0243902439024 seconds

runner time = 2439.0243902439024/60 = 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. you have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The pitching speed of your friend is 33.20 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

Your friend throw the ball horizontally that means the vertical initial

component of velocity is zero (u_{y}=0).

The ball is thrown from a height 4 meters above the ground.

The height h=u_{y}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

<u><em>Remember:</em></u> the height is negative value because its below the point of

thrown (initial position)

h = -4 m , u_{y}=0 and g = -9.8 m/s²(downward)

<em>Substitute these values in the rule above</em>

⇒ 4=0-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}

⇒ -4 = -4.9t² (multiply both sides by -1)

⇒ 4 = 4.9t² (divide both sides by 4.9)

⇒ 0.81633 = t² (take √ for both sides)

⇒ <em>t = 0.9035</em>

Then the time of the ball to land on the ground is 0.9035 seconds

The range of the ball on the ground is 30 m

The range R=u_{x}*t, where u_{x} is the horizontal

component of the initial velocity

R = 30 meters and t = 0.9035

⇒ 30=u_{x}(0.9035) (divide both sides by 0.9035)

⇒ u_{x}=33.20 m/s

<em>The pitching speed of your friend is 33.20 m/s </em>
