Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of water = 4 Kg

Water is heated to = 800 W

time of immersion = 10 min

= 10 x 60 = 600 s

using equation of specific heat

Q = m S ΔT

S is the specific heat capacity of water which is equal to 4182 J/kg°C.

and another formula of heat

Q = Pt

now,

P t = m S ΔT

800 x 600 = 4 x 4182 x ΔT

ΔT = 29° C

temperature increased is equal to ΔT = 29° C

Hence, the correct answer is option C

A beam of light, with a wavelength of 4170 Å, is shined on sodium, which has a work function (binding energy) of 4.41 × 10 –19 J

Lyrx [107]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=4170\ A=4170\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Work function of sodium, $W_o=4.41\times 10^{-19}\ J$

The kinetic energy of the ejected electron in terms of work function is given by :

$KE=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}-W_o\\\\KE=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4170\times 10^{-10}}-4.41\times 10^{-19}\\\\KE=3.59\times 10^{-20}\ J$

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2KE}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 3.59\times 10^{-20}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=2.8\times 10^5\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A devout halloweener not only dressed as an astronaut, but travelled to the moon for the full experience. The astronaut jumps on

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

2.78 m

Explanation:

At the peak, the velocity is 0.

Given:

a = -1.6 m/s²

v₀ = 2.98 m/s

v = 0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(0 m/s)² = (2.98 m/s)² + 2(-1.6 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 2.775 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the astronaut halloweener reaches a maximum height of 2.78 meters.

A person wants to make a metronome for music practice. He uses a 35-g object attached to a spring to serve as the time standard.

alukav5142 [94]

To develop this problem it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency of a spring mass system, for which it is necessary that its mathematical function is described as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
