To develop this problem, we will apply Einstein's relationship which is in charge of the work done with the kinetic energy of the body versus the total energy of the system.

The energy can be calculated as

E = hf

Here,

h = Planck's Constant

f = Frequency

Our values are given as,

f = 2.78*10^{15} Hz ,

W = 3.80 eV

Therefore the Energy is

E = hf

E = 6.625*10^{-34}J\cdot s(2.78*10^{15}Hz)

E = 1.84*10^{-18}J \rightarrow 1 J = 6.242*10^{18}eV

Then,

E = 11.48eV

Applying the Einstein Relation we have that

E = W+KE

KE = E -W

KE = 11.48eV-3.80 eV

KE = 7.68eV

Therefore the maximum  kinetic energy for an electron dislodged fromthe surface by the radiation is 7.68eV

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. A beam of light has a wavelength of 651 nm in vacuum. This light propag
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

v=2.58\times10^8m/s

Explanation:

The index of refraction is equal to the speed of light c in vacuum divided by its speed v in a substance, or n=\frac{c}{v}. For our case we want to use v=\frac{c}{n}, which for our values is equal to:

v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{299792458m/s}{1.16}=258441774.138m/s

Which we will express with 3 significant figures (since a product or quotient must contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the  <em>least</em> number of significant figures):

v=2.58\times10^8m/s

After a plant or animal dies the 14C content decreases with a half-life of 5730 years. If an archaeologist finds an ancient fire
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

Explanation:

Given data

plant or animal dies = 14C

time period = 5730 year

carbon = 15.5%

to find out

age (in years) of the ancient site

solution

we know that Final value = Initial value  × 0.5^{n}

here n is half life passed

so for 15.5%

15.5% = 100% of  0.5^{n}

0.155 = 1 × 0.5^{n}

now take log both side

log 0.155 = log  0.5^{n}

n = log 0.155 / log 0.5

n = 2.68966

we know here  5730 years in half life

so for 2.68966 half-lives = 2.68966 × 5730  =  15411.7518

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>​
Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.

If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. Wh
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

 v = -v₀ / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.

Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron

            v² = v₀² - 2a y

when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0

           a = v₀² / 2y

now they tell us that the initial velocity is half

          v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’

          v₀ ’= v₀ / 2

at the point where turn v = 0              

          0 = v₀² /4  - 2 a y '

          v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y)  y’

          y = 4 y'

          y ’= y / 4

We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.

         v² = v₀² -2a y’

         v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4

         v² = -v₀² / 4

         v = -v₀ / 2

We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.
