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 particular heat engine has a mechanical power output of 4.00 kW and an efficiency of 26.0%. The engine expels 8.55 103 J of ex
Ivahew [28]

To develop the problem we will start by finding the energy taken by each cycle through the efficiency of the motor and the exhausted energy. Later the work will be found for the conservation of energy in which this is equivalent to the difference between the two calculated energy values. Finally the estimated time will be calculated with the work and the power given,

\text{Efficiency of the heat engine} = \eta = 26\% = 0.26

\text{Energy taken in by the heat engine during each cycle} = Q_h

\text{Energy exhausted by the heat engine in each cycle} = Q_c = 8.55*10^3 J

\eta = 1 - \frac{Q_{c}}{Q_{h}}

0.26 = 1 - \frac{8.55\ast 10^{3}}{Q_{h}}

\frac{8.55* 10^{3}}{Q_{h}} = 0.74

Q_h = \frac{8.55*10^3}{0.74}

Q_h = 11.554*10^3J

PART A)

Work done by the heat engine in each cycle = W

W = Q_h-Q_c

W = 11.554*10^3J-8.55*10^3J

W = 3004J

According to the value given we have that,

P = 4.0kW

P = 4000W

Power is defined as the variation of energy as a function of time therefore,

P = \frac{W}{t}

4000W = \frac{3004J}{t}

t = \frac{3004}{4000}

t = 0.75s

Therefore the interval for each cycle is 0.75s

Just as a skydiver steps out of the helicopter with no forward velocity someone who’s watching start stopwatch so the time is ze
Kobotan [32]

Answer: zero.


Justification:


The downward velocity of the sky diver just before starting to fall is zero, assuming that the helicopter is not moving but just hovering.


Before starting to fall, the velocity of the skydiver is the same of the helicopter, which is zero. It is only, once she jumps out of the helicopter that her weight is not supported by the helicopter and so the gravitational force of the Earth attracts the skydiver and she starts to gain velocity at a rate equal to g (around 9.81 m/s²).

The brakes of a car are applied, causing it to slow down at a rate of 10 ft/s2. Knowing that the car stops in 300 ft, determine
spayn [35]

Answer:

(a) The velocity of the car before the brakes were applied is 77.46 ft/s

(b) The time required for the car to stop is 7.8 s

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 10 ft/s²

distance traveled by the car, d = 300 ft

(a) the velocity of the car before the brakes were applied is given;

v² = u² + 2ad

v² = 0 + 2(10 x 300)

v² = 6000

v = √6000

v = 77.46 ft/s

(b) the time required for the car to stop

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

d = 0 +  ¹/₂at²

d = ¹/₂at²

t² = 2d / a

t = √ ( 2d / a)

t = √ ( 2 x 300 / 10)

t = 7.8 s

Therefore, the time required for the car to stop is 7.8 s

How is energy transferred between trophic levels in a food chain?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10% of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level, the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
