Electron kinetic energies are often measured in units of electron-volts (1 eV 1.6 x 10-19 J), which is the kinetic energy of an

electron that is accelerated through a 1 volt potential. When an aluminum plate is irradiated with UV light of 253.5 nm wavelength the ejected electrons are observed to have an average kinetic energy of about 0.8 eV. Use these results to determine the electron binding energy (or "work function") o of aluminum (in eV units).

Answer:

4.1 eV

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, K = 0.8 eV = 0.8 x 1.6 x 10^-19 J = 1.28 x 10^-19 J

wavelength, λ = 253.5 nm = 253.5 x 10^-9 m

According to the Einstein energy equation

E = W_{o}+K

Where, E be the energy incident, Wo is the work function and K is the kinetic energy.

h = 6.634 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.634 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{253.5\times 10^{-9}}=7.85 \times 10^{-19} J

So, the work function, Wo = E - K

Wo = 7.85 x 10^-19 - 1.28 x 10^-19

Wo = 6.57 x 10^-19 J

Wo = 4.1 eV

Thus, the work function of the metal is 4.1 eV.

A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?
VLD [36.1K]
The initial kinetic energy of the car is
E_1 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 =  1.9 \cdot 10^3 J

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: v_2 =  \frac{v_1}{2}
so, the new kinetic energy is
E_2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 =  \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
E_2 =  \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J

A uniform meter rule with a mass of 200g is suspended at zero mark pivotes at 22.0cm mark. calculate the mass of the rule.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The mass of the rule is 56.41 g  

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object suspended at zero mark, m₁ = 200 g

pivot of the uniform meter rule = 22 cm

Total length of meter rule = 100 cm

0                          22cm                                  100cm

-------------------------Δ------------------------------------

↓                                                                       ↓

200g                                                                 m₂  

Apply principle of moment

(200 g)(22 cm - 0)     = m₂(100 cm - 22 cm)

(200 g)(22 cm) = m₂(78 cm)

m₂ =  (200 g)(22 cm)  / (78 cm)

m₂ = 56.41 g  

Therefore,  the mass of the rule is 56.41 g
