As you may well know, placing metal objects inside a microwave oven can generate sparks. Two of your friends are arguing over th

e cause of the sparking, with one stating that the microwaves "herd" electrons into "pointy" areas of the metal object, from which the electrons jump from one part of the object to another. The other friend says that the sparks are caused by the photoelectric effect. Prove or disprove the latter idea using basic physics. Suppose the typical work function of the metal is roughly 4.910×10−19 J.4.910×10−19 J. Calculate the maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal.

Answer:

4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

E = Energy = 4.91\times 10^{-19}\ J

Wavelength ejected is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.91\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

The maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal is 4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

Suppose that a constant force is applied to an object. newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of the object
amid [387]

Newton’s second law states that force is the product of mass and acceleration. This is expressed mathematically as:

F = m * a

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration

Since in the given problem, the force is constant or same force is acting upon two objects. Therefore we can simply equate the expression m * a of the 2 objects.

m1 * a1 = m2 * a2

Where m1 = 2 kg, a1 = 38 m/s^2, m2 = 19 kg. Therefore finding for a2:

2 kg * 38 m/s^2 = 19 kg * a2

<span>a2 = 4 m/s^2     (ANSWER)</span>

A water wave travels 36 meters in 15 seconds. What is the speed of the wave?
Arisa [49]
Since the question above is looking for the SPEEd of the WAVE, the formula that should be used is SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME. You just need to substitute the distance (36 meters) and the time (15 seconds) to the formula. You should be able to get SPEED = 2.4 m/s.

Which paint can has greater potential energy after the painter carries it up the ladder? Why is this can's potential energy grea
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Paint can which is placed higher than other can will have more potential energy. Because according to the definition of the potential energy an object placed at some higher place when released to the ground will have greater impact than the one placed at some lower place. Painter can give the other can more potential energy by placing it at some height greater than the other cans.

Explanation:

To understand this, we need to understand the concept of potential energy.  

Let’s assume two objects A and B. If A is placed at 10 meters above the ground and if B is placed 20 meters above the ground then according to the definition of potential energy, object B will have greater potential energy.  

Similarly, in our question, we have paint cans, one is carried at some higher place through a ladder by the painter will have greater potential energy as compared to the one which is placed at ground.  

Paint can which is placed higher than other can will have more potential energy. Because according to the definition of the potential energy an object placed at some higher place when released to the ground will have greater impact than the one placed at some lower place. Painter can give the other can more potential energy by placing it at some height greater than the other cans.
