Answer:

The work function ϕ of the metal = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J      

Explanation:

When light is incident on a photoelectric material like metal, photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of the metal. This process is called photoelectric effect.

The relationship between the maximum kinetic energy (E_{k}) of the photoelectrons to the frequency of the absorbed photons (f) and the threshold frequency (f₀) of the photoemissive metal surface is:

                                        E_{k} = h(f − f₀)

                                        E_{k} = hf - hf₀

E is the energy of the absorbed photons:  E = hf

ϕ is the work function of the surface:  ϕ = hf₀

                                        E_{k} = E - ϕ

Frequency f = 8.12×10¹⁸ Hz

Maximum kinetic energy E_{k} = 4.16×10⁻¹⁷ J  

Speed of light  c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js                                

                                        E = hf = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ x 8.12×10¹⁸

                                        E = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

from E_{k} = E - ϕ ;

                                        ϕ = E - E_{k}

                                        ϕ = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ - 4.16×10⁻¹⁷

                                        ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

The work function of the metal ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

A 500 W immersion heater is placed in a pot containing 1.00 L of water at 20oC. (a) How long will the water take to rise to the
tatiyna

Answer:

96 s.

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 1

Where Q = heat required to boil the water, c = specific heat capacity of the water, m = mass of the water, t₂ = final temperature of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water

Note: The boiling point of water = 100 °C

Given: c = 4200 J/kg.°C, t₂ = 100 °C, t₁ = 20 °C

mass of water = density×volume

m = D×v, Where D = 1000 kg/m³, v = 1.00 L = 0.001 m³

Hence, m = 1000×0.001 = 1 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 4200×1(100-20)

Q = 4200×8

Q = 33600 J.

But,

P = Q/t................... Equation 2

make t  the subject of the equation

t = Q/P................. Equation 3

Where P = power, t = time

From the question,

70 % of the available energy is absorbed by water.

P = 0.7×500 = 350 W.

Substitute into equation 2

t = 33600/350

t = 96 s.

At time t1 = 14 s, a car is located at 99, 80, 27 m and has velocity 4, 0, −3 m/s. At time t2 = 18 s, what is the position of th
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

115, 80, 15m

Explanation

t1 = 14s

t2 = 18s

change in time = 4s (18-14)

r(final) = r(initial) + (average velocity) x (change in time)

multiply the average velocity with the change in time

= (4, 0, -3) x 4 = 16, 0, -12

now we'll add this value to the initial position of the car

(99, 80, 27)m + (16, 0, -12)m = (115, 80, 15)m

Which type of quantity is displacement? (scalar or<br> vector)
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Displacement is a vector quantity

Explanation:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
