g he work functions of gold, aluminum, and cesium are 5.1 eV, 4.1 eV, and 2.1 eV, respectively. If light of a particular frequen

cy causes photoelectrons to be emitted when the light is incident on an aluminum surface, explain if we know whether this means that photoelectrons are emitted from a gold surface or a cesium surface when the light is incident on those surfaces.

Answer:

Explanation:

Work function of aluminium  is  4.1 eV .

Therefor light of minimum energy of 4.1 eV will be required to cause the emission of electrons.

If we use this frequency of light or energy of light  to effect ejection of photoelectrons from cesium , it will be easily   ejected because energy requirement for this metal is lower ( work function is lower 2.1 eV ). than the energy of photon falling on it.

If we use this frequency of light or energy of light  to effect ejection of photoelectrons from aluminium  , it will be not  ejected because energy requirement for this metal is high ( work function is higher 5.1 eV ) . Even if we increase the intensity of light , electrons will not be ejected because energy of each photon depends upon the frequency .

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car of mass 1.7 * 10 ^ 3 kg by 4.75 m/s
Gnesinka [82]

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car of mass 1.7 × 10³ kg by 4.75 m/s²

Answer:

F = 8.075 N

Explanation:

Formula for force is;

F = ma

Where;

m is mass

a is acceleration

F = 1.7 × 10³ × 4.75

F = 8.075 N

<h2>Answer: B)Scientists’ understanding of cells continually improved as the results of studies built upon each other over time and formed the cell theory.</h2>

Explanation:

Nowadays we know <u>cells are essential microscopic units that make up the living beings, capable of reproducing independently. </u>

However, this is the result of a long process of discoveries and studies made since the 19th century, in which the continuous improvement of new technologies was helpful.

In fact, it is wel known the English scientist Robert Hooke was the first to discover the existence of cells by looking through a compound microscope at a cork sheet, realizing that it was made up of small polygonal holes (like those of a honeycomb) that reminded him of the chambers in which the monks stayed (called cells). Then, during the next centuries more studies were made until we had the current knowledge about the structure of a cell.

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t
tia_tia [17]

1.A) 4.9 m  

AL2006 Ace

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.


After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).


Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.


Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered 4.9 meters.


ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

You are playing a speed-based card game with your 64-year-old grandfather. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards as
Masteriza [31]

Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.

For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.
