Answer: 3.5\cdot 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

In the photoelectric effect, the energy of the incident photon is used partially to extract the photoelectron from the metal (work function) and part is given to the photoelectron as kinetic energy:

hf=\phi +K (1)

where

hf is the energy of the photon, with h being the Planck constant and f the photon frequency

\phi is the work function of the metal

K is the kinetic energy of the electron

In this problem, the photon hasa wavelength of \lambda=400 nm=4 \cdot 10^{-7} m, so its frequency is

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{4\cdot 10^{-7} m}=7.5\cdot 10^{14} Hz

Now we can use eq.(1) to find the Kinetic energy of the photoelectron

K=hf-\phi = (6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(7.5\cdot 10^{14} Hz)-4.4\cdot 10^{-19} J)=5.7\cdot 10^{-20} J

And the kinetic energy of the electron is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

From which we can find the electron's velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5.7\cdot 10^{-20}J)}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg}}=3.5\cdot 10^5 m/s

If a hot steel tool of 1200°C was put in a bucket to cool and the bucket contained 15L of water of 15°C, and the water temperatu

3.6 kg.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How much heat does the hot steel tool release?

This value is the same as the amount of heat that the 15 liters of water has absorbed.

Temperature change of water:

\Delta T = T_2 - T_1= 48\; \textdegree{\text{C}}- 15\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}.

Volume of water:

V = 15 \; \text{L} = 15 \; \text{dm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3}.

Mass of water:

m = \rho \cdot V = 1.00 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{cm}^{-3} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}.

Amount of heat that the 15 L water absorbed:

Q = c\cdot m \cdot \Delta T = 4.18 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} \times 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}.

What's the mass of the hot steel tool?

The specific heat of carbon steel is 0.49 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1}.

The amount of heat that the tool has lost is the same as the amount of heat the 15 L of water absorbed. In other words,

Q(\text{absorbed}) = Q(\text{released}) =2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}.

\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 1200\; \textdegree{\text{C}} -{\bf 48}\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}.

m = \dfrac{Q}{c\cdot \Delta T} = \dfrac{2.06910 \times 10^{6} \; \text{J}}{0.49\; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}} = 3.6 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} = 3.6 \; \text{kg}.

A +2e charge is at the point (-1,0) mm in the x,y plane. A –e charge is at the point (0,1) mm. What is the electric field at the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Let I and j be the unit vector along x and y axis respectively.

Electric field at origin is given by

E= kq1/r1^2 i + kq2/r2^2j

= 9*10^9*1.6*10^-19*/10^-6*(2i+ j)

= (2.88i + 1.44j)*10^-3 N/C

Force on charge= qE= 3*10^-19*1.6*(2.88i +1. 44 j) *10^-3

F= (1.382 i + 0.691 j) *10^-21

 

 Goodluck
