The mountains on the Moon were formed by what process?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: The mountains that we observe on the moon, from earth are those rims forming the lunar mountains and mountain ranges. It has formed due to the asteroidal impact on the surface of the moon, billions of years back, resulting in the depressions and the highland areas. Due to this impact, a huge amount of heat energy generated that eroded and melted much of the materials from the moon's surface.

Using 0.500 g of nichrome, you are asked to fabricate a wire with uniform cross-section. The resistance of the wire is 0.673 Ω.

mojhsa [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Nichrome, m = 0.5 g

The resistance of the wire, R = 0.673 ohms

Resistivity of the nichrome wire, $\rho=10^{-6}\ \Omega -m$

Density, $d=8.31\times 10^3\ kg/m^3$

(A) The length of the wire is given by using the definition of resistance as :

Volume,

$V=A\times l\\\\A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\Since, V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{8.31\times 10^3}\\\\V=6.01\times 10^{-8}\ m^3$

Area,

$A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}$ ....(1)

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\l=\dfrac{0.673\times 6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l\times 10^{-6}}\\\\l=0.201\ m$

(b) Equation (1) becomes :

$A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{0.201}\\\\\pi r^2=3\times 10^{-7}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 10^{-7}}{\pi}} \\\\r=3.09\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 97 nm strikes a metallic surface. Electrons leave the surface with speeds up to 3.48 ×

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before calculating the work function, we must know the formula for calculating the kinetic energy of an electron. The kinetic energy of an electron is the taken as the difference between incident photon energy and work function of a metal.

Mathematically, KE = hf - Ф where;

h is the Planck constant

f is the frequency = c/λ

c is the speed of light

λ is the wavelength

Ф is the work function

The formula will become KE = hc/λ - Ф. Making the work function the subject of the formula we have;

Ф = hc/λ - KE

Ф = hc/λ - 1/2mv²

Given parameters

c = 3*10⁸m/s

λ = 97*10⁻⁹m

velocity of the electron v = 3.48*10⁵m/s

h = 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴

m is the mass of the electron = 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹kg

Substituting the given parameters into the formula Ф = hc/λ - 1/2mv²

Ф = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴*3*10⁸/97*10⁻⁹ - 1/2*9.11*10⁻³¹(3.48*10⁵)²

Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 4.555*10⁻³¹*12.1104*10¹⁰

Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 55.163*10⁻²¹

Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 0.0055.163*10⁻¹⁷

Ф = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷Joules

Since 1eV = 1.60218*10⁻¹⁹J

x = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷Joules

cross multiply

x = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷/1.60218*10⁻¹⁹

x = 0.1245*10²

x = 12.45eV

<em>Hence the work function of the metal in eV is 12.45eV</em>
