Answer:

B. Maximum velocity of ejected electrons.

Explanation:

The ejection of electrons form a metal surface when the metal surface is exposed to a monochromatic electromagnetic wave of sufficiently short wavelength or higher frequency (or equivalently, above a threshold frequency), which leads to the enough energy of the wave to incident and get absorbed to the exposed surface emits electrons. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect or photo-emission.

The minimum amount of energy required by a metal surface to eject an electron from its surface is called work function of metal surface.

The electrons thus emitted are called photo-electrons.

The current produced as a result is called photo electricity.

Energy of photon is given by:

$E=h.\nu$

where:

h = Planck's constant

$\nu=$ frequency of the incident radiation.

A person is trying to lift a crate that has a mass of 30 kg. The normal force of the floor is currently supplying 150N of force.

alexdok [17]

Here when an object is placed on the level floor then in that case there are two forces on the object

1). Weight of object downwards (mg)

2). Normal force due to floor which will counterbalance the weight (N)

so when no force is applied on the box at that time normal force is counter balanced by weight.

Now here it is given that A person tried to lift the box upwards

So now there are two forces on the box

1). Applied force of person

2). Normal force due to ground

So now these two forces will counter balance the weight of the crate

So we can write an equation for force balance like

$F_g = F_n + F_a$

given that

$F_g = mg$

here

m = 30 kg and

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2

$F_n = 150 N$

now from above equation

$30*10 = 150 + F_a$

$F_a = 300 - 150 = 150 N$

So force applied by the person must be 150 N

A circuit contains a single 220 pF capacitor hooked across a battery. It is desired to store three times as much energy in a com

Anettt [7]

Answer

The capacitor should be connected in parallel as parallel connection gives the arithmetic sum of capacitance which will give a corresponding sum of energy while capacitors in series gives the sum of the reciprocal if the individual capacitance

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Work \ done = 4 \ J}$

Given:

Force = 8 N

Distance covered by the body = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Explanation:

Work Done = Force × Distance covered by the body

= 8 × 0.5

= 4 J
