Explanation:

The energy stored in an elastic objects as a result of deformation is called elastic potential energy. The energy stored in a spring is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

Where

k = spring constant

x = compression or stretching in an spring

While gravitational potential energy is given by :

PE = mgh

where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height from ground

So, the factor affecting elastic potential energy but not gravitational potential energy is " spring constant ".

Upon being struck by 240-nm photons, a metal ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 2.97 eV. What is the work functio

Neko [114]

Answer:

Work Function = 3.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.2 eV

Explanation:

The work function of the metal metal can be found as follows:

Energy of Photon = Work Function + K.E

hc/λ = Work Function + K.E

Work Function = hc/λ - K.E

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of photons = 240 nm = 2.4 x 10⁻⁷ m

K.E = Maximum Kinetic Energy = (2.97 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 4.752 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore,

Work Function = (6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.4 x 10⁻⁷ m) - 4.752 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Work Function = 8.281 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 4.752 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Work Function = 3.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.2 eV

You break a piece of Styro foam packing material, and it releases lots of little spheres whose electric charge makes them stick

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The magnitude of charge on each sphere is $q=2.50\times 10^{-8}\ C$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Force of repulsion between the charges, F = 22 mN

The distance between spheres, r = 16 mm = 0.016 m

It is mentioned that both the spheres carry equal charges. The force between charges is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{22\times 10^{-3}\times (0.016)^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q=2.50\times 10^{-8}\ C$

So, the magnitude of charge on each sphere is $q=2.50\times 10^{-8}\ C$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The manipulated variable is plotted on the horizontal axis

tatuchka [14]

True.

Manipulated variable or also called the controlled variables are variables in which you regulate. Manipulate or as said control. By this you want to certain the outcome of a certain experiment. Making it close to which you want it or desired it to be, possibly. Characteristics could be: 
1. You are able to have govern or a certain variable is controllable. 
2. The outcome or effect of a particular variable was what you were determining or were testing with high probability
3. You can either increase or decrease the level of which the variable could take effect on a dependent variable.
