Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm</u>

Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the complete question

Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving Ten thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long did the clock run on does battery and how many electrons per second slowed?

answer :

a) 231.48 days

b) n = 3.125 * 10^15

Explanation:

Battery moved 10,000 coulombs

current rate = 0.5 mA

<u>A) Determine how long the clock run on the battery. use the relation below</u>

q = i * t ----- ( 1 )

q = charge , i = current , t = time

10000 = 0.5 * 10^-3 * t

hence  t = 2 * 10^7 secs

hence the time = 231.48  days

<u>B) Determine how many electrons per second flowed </u>

q = n*e ------ ( 2 )

n = number of electrons

e = 1.6 * 10^-19

q = 0.5 * 10^-3 coulomb ( charge flowing per electron )

back to equation 2

n ( number of electrons ) = q / e = ( 0.5 * 10^-3 ) / ( 1.6 * 10^-19 )

hence : n = 3.125 * 10^15

Later, while taking your groceries back to the car, you accidentally let go of your cart. It rolls straight down a grassy slope
VladimirAG [237]

Car is moving on the glassy slope with constant speed

Now we know that

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so acceleration is rate of change in velocity

as we know that velocity is constant here so acceleration is zero

so here

a = 0

now as we know by Newton's II law

F = ma

since a = 0

F = 0

so net force will be ZERO on it during this motion

What the 3 law of newton mean
Masteriza [31]
Newtons third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction. This means that the force on back on something is going to be equal in size and opposite in direction.

A plane traveling horizontally at 120 ​m/s over flat ground at an elevation of 3610 m must drop an emergency packet on a target
allsm [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement

x = 120 t

Vertical position

y = 3610 - 4.9 t²

y = 0 for the ground

0 = 3610 - 4.9 t²

t = 27.14 s

This is the time it will take to reach the ground .

During this period , horizontal displacement

x = 120 x 27.14 m

= 3256.8 m

So packet should be released 3256.8 m before the target.
