consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is

measured meaning electrons are ejected from the potassium metal. what would happen if the intensity of the yellow light increased

kompoz [17]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of 10 to the power -9. What potential difference is required for a charge of 5×
Maurinko [17]

The potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

<h3>What is the energy in a capacitor?</h3>

The energy stored in a capacitor is an electrostatic potential energy.

It is related to the charge(Q) and voltage (V) between the capacitor plates.

It is represented as 'U'.

<h3>How to determine the potential difference</h3>

Formula:

Potential difference, V is the ratio of the charge to the capacitance of a capacitor.

It is calculated using:

V = Q ÷ C

Where Q = charge 5 × 10∧-5C and C = capacitance 10∧-9

Substitute the values into the equation

Potential difference, V = 5 × 10∧-5 ÷  10∧-9 = 5 × 10∧4 volts

<h3>How to determine the energy stored</h3>

Formula:

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 (QV)

Where Q= charge and V = potential difference across the capacitor

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 ( 5 × 10∧-5 × 5 × 10∧4)

= 0.5 × 25 × 10∧-1

= 0.5 × 2.5

= 1. 25 Joules

Therefore, the potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

a man pushes on a wall with a force of 50N. what are the size and direction of the force that the wall exert on the man?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So Wall must apply a force of 50 Newton but in opposite direction. Hope you got it :-D

A 325 N force applied to an object for 5.5 s. What’s the impulse?
vazorg [7]
According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
              = 325 × 2.2 sec
              = 715 Ns

In any problems involving circular motion, which way does the tangential speed vector point?
Anton [14]

In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point. 

The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle.  The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle.  If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.

What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 50.0 kg and a velocity of 18 m/s? A.450 J B.900 J C.8,100 J D.16,000
Svet_ta [14]
KE = (1/2)·(mass)·(speed)²

KE = (1/2)·(50 kg)·(18 m/s)²

KE = (25 kg)·(324 m²/s²)

KE = 8,100 kg-m²/s²

KE = 8,100 Joules
