Answer: Velocity involves a particular direction, i.e. North. Speed does not include a direction.

Speed is a scalar quantity, which is defined only by its magnitude, but velocity is a vector quantity defined by both magnitude and direction

Can someone please tell me...... What does it mean if you through up thew your nose and mouth at the same time!?

hodyreva [135]

if you're worried about youre health you're completely fine. (other than the fact you are throwing up, if your sick please see a doctor) but if the things you're worried about is that it can out of your nose, dont worry it happenes to a lot of people. Your nose and mouth are both connected to your throat and that sudden rush of fluids from your throat can confuse your body, Its like when you laugh while eating and then you accidently get food in your nose. Don't worry this isn't anything that is particulary bad but i will say that the vomiting is not good

A certain metal with work function of Φ = 1.7 eV is illuminated in vacuum by 1.4 x 10-6 W of light with a wavelength of λ = 600

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1) n = 4.47*10^12 photons

2) K = 0.25 eV

Explanation:

This is a problem about the photoelectric effect.

1) In order to calculate the number of photons that impact the metal, you take into account the power of the light, which is given by:

$P=\frac{E}{t}=1.4*10^{-6}\frac{J}{s}$ (1)

Furthermore you calculate the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 600nm, by using the following formula:

$E_p=h\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (2)

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

h: Planck's constant = 6.626*10^-34 Js

λ: wavelength = 600*10^-9 m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$E_p=(6.626*10^{-34}Js)\frac{3*10^8m/s}{600*10^{-9}m}=3.131*10^{-19}J$

Next, you calculate the quotient between the power of the light (equation (1)) and the energy of the photon:

$n=\frac{P}{E_p}=\frac{1.4*10^{-6}J/s}{3.131*10^{-19}J}=4.47*10^{12}photons$

The number of photons is 4.47*10^12

2) The kinetic energy of the electrons emitted by the metal is given by the following formula:

$K=E_p-\Phi$ (3)

Ep: energy of the photons

Φ: work function of the metal = 1.7 eV

You first convert the energy of the photons to eV:

$E_p=3.131*10^{-19}J*\frac{6.242*10^{18}eV}{1J}=1.954eV$

You replace in the equation (3):

$K=1.95eV-1.7eV=0.25eV$

The kinetic energy of the electrons emitted by the metal is 0.25 eV

The earth completes one _______ when it travels once around the sun.

zlopas [31]

Answer: Revolution

Explanation:

The Earth rotates about its axis in 23 hours 56 minutes i.e. in one day. The Earth revolves around the Sun in one year (365 and 6 hours). Axis is an imaginary line passing through the center of any body about which it rotates. Solstice is an event when Sun is passing over Tropic of Capricorn or Tropic of cancer.

Hence, the correct option is The earth completes one <u>Revolution</u> when it travels once around the sun.
