Answer:

Speed is higher and 1.32 times greater.

Explanation:

Considering downward motion as positive.

Given:

Case 1:

Initial height (h₁) = 7 mm = 0.007 m [1 mm =0.001 m]

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u₁) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v₁) = ?

Using conservation of energy, we have:

Decrease in potential energy = Increase in Kinetic energy

mgh_1=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2\\\\v_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.007}=0.37\ m/s

Case 2:

Initial height (h₂) = 4 mm = 0.004 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u₂) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v₂) = ?

Using conservation of energy, we have:

Decrease in potential energy = Increase in Kinetic energy

mgh_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2\\\\v_2=\sqrt{2gh_2}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.004}=0.28\ m/s

From the above values, we can conclude:

v_1>v_2

Also,

\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{0.37}{0.28}=1.32\\\\v_1=1.32v_2

So, the velocity in the first case is 1.32 times greater than velocity in second case.

What benefits does preforming this investigation in the physical world have over the computer simulation?
mezya [45]

Explanation:

Can be safer and cheaper than the real world. Able to test a product or system works before building it. Can use it to find unexpected problems. Can speed things up or slow them down to see changes over long or short periods of time.

NEWTON LAWS
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

it's Newton's first law of motion

As the law states that.

Everybody continues in its rest or of uniform motion unless an external force acts on it.

Ultraviolet light of wavelength 270 nm strikes a metal whose work function is 2.3 eV.What is the shortest de Broglie wavelength
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of ultraviolet light, λ = 270 nm

work function of the metal, φ = 2.3 eV = 2.3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the ultraviolet light is given by;

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\E = \frac{(6.626*10^{-34} )(3*10^{8}) }{270*10^{-9} }\\\\E = 7.362 * 10^{-19} \ J

The energy of the incident light is related to kinetic energy of the electron and work function of the metal by the following equation;

E = φ  + K.E

K.E = E - φ

K.E = (7.362 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) - (3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J )

K.E = 3.677 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

mv² = 2K.E

velocity of the electron is given by;

V = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} }\\\\V =  \sqrt{\frac{2(3.677*10^{-19}) }{9.1*10^{-31} } }\\\\V = 8.99*10^{5}  \ m/s

the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons is given by;

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\\ \\\lambda = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} }{(9.1*10^{-31})( 8.99*10^{5} )}\\\\\lambda = 8.10*10^{-10} \ m\\\\\lambda = 0.81 \ nm

Therefore, the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm

The total amount of energy contained in an object
Elenna [48]

The total amount of energy stored in the particles of an object is called its internal energy. The internal energy of an object is made up of the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the particles and the potential energy due to the interactive forces among the particles.
