Answer:

Divide the change in velocity by the time interval

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

mathematically it is the change in velocity divided by the time taken for that change.

i.e Divide the change in velocity by the time interval.

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a cobalt surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 0.17 eV are emitted. Fin

dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) $1.21\times 10^{15}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

$E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda$

$E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV$

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

$E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}$ , here $\Phi _0$ is work function.

$\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}$ = 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

$\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm$

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz$

(a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s2 . How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h,

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(a) Time t = 16.46 sec

(b) Time t =13.466 sec

Explanation:

(a) As the train starts from rest its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration $a=1.35m/sec^2$

Final speed v = 80 km/hr

$80km/hr=\frac{80\times 1000}{3600sec}=22.22m/sec$

From first equation of motion v =u+at

So $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{22.22-0}{1.35}=16.46 sec$

(b) Now initial speed u = 22.22 m/sec

As finally train comes to rest so final speed v=0 m/sec

Deceleration $a=1.65m/sec^2$

So $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-22.22}{-1.65}=13.466 sec$

Final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 8.30 sec

So acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-22.22}{8.3}=-2.6771m/sec^2$

As acceleration is negative so it is a deceleration

Galactic Alliance Junior Mission Officer (GAJMO) Bundit Nermalloy is predicting the kinetic energy of a supply spacecraft, which

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

the ship's energy is greater than this and the crew member does not meet the requirement

Explanation:

In this exercise to calculate kinetic energy or final ship speed in the supply hangar let's use the relationship

W =∫ F dx = ΔK

Let's replace

∫ (α x³ + β) dx = ΔK

α x⁴ / 4 + β x = ΔK

Let's look for the maximum distance for which the variation of the energy percent is 10¹⁰ J

x (α x³ + β) = $K_{f}$ - K₀

$K_{f}$ = K₀ + x (α x³ + β)

Assuming that the low limit is x = 0, measured from the cargo hangar

Let's calculate

$K_{f}$ = 2.7 10¹¹ + 7.5 10⁴ (6.1 10⁻⁹ (7.5 10⁴) 3 -4.1 10⁶)

Kf = 2.7 10¹¹ + 7.5 10⁴ (2.57 10⁶ - 4.1 10⁶)

Kf = 2.7 10¹¹ - 1.1475 10¹¹

Kf = 1.55 10¹¹ J

In the problem it indicates that the maximum energy must be 10¹⁰ J, so the ship's energy is greater than this and the crew member does not meet the requirement

We evaluate the kinetic energy if the System is well calibrated

W = x F₀ = $K_{f}$ –K₀

$K_{f}$ = K₀ + x F₀

We calculate

$K_{f}$ = 2.7 10¹¹ -7.5 10⁴ 3.5 10⁶

$K_{f}$ = (2.7 -2.625) 10¹¹

$K_{f}$ = 7.5 10⁹ J

Suppose a firm is producing 2,475 units of output by hiring 50 workers (W = $20 per hour) and 25 units of capital (R = $10 per h

Neko [114]

Answer

given,

firm is producing = 2,475 units

output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour

25 units of capital R = $10 per hour

marginal product of labor = 40

marginal product of capital = 25

$\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{40}{25}$

$\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{8}{5}$

$\dfrac{W}{R}=\dfrac{20}{10}$

$\dfrac{W}{R}=2$

$\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c} < \dfrac{W}{R}$

Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.
