Answer:
Ф = 2.179 eV
Explanation:
This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.
E = K + Ф
the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation
E = h f
we substitute
h f = K + Ф
Ф= hf - K
the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency
c = λ f
f = c /λ
Φ =
let's reduce the energy to the SI system
K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J
calculate
Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹ -1.424 10⁻¹⁹
Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹
Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J
we reduce to eV
Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)
Ф = 2.179 eV
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
Answer: 56.72 ft/s
Explanation:
Ok, initially we only have potential energy, that is equal to:
U =m*g*h
where g is the gravitational acceleration, m the mass and h the height.
h = 50ft and g = 32.17 ft/s^2
when the watermelon is near the ground, all the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy can be written as:
K = (1/2)*m*v^2
where v is the velocity.
Then we have:
K = U
m*g*h = (m/2)*v^2
we solve it for v.
v = √(2g*h) = √(2*32.17*50) ft/s = 56.72 ft/s
