Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=4170\ A=4170\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Work function of sodium, $W_o=4.41\times 10^{-19}\ J$

The kinetic energy of the ejected electron in terms of work function is given by :

$KE=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}-W_o\\\\KE=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4170\times 10^{-10}}-4.41\times 10^{-19}\\\\KE=3.59\times 10^{-20}\ J$

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2KE}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 3.59\times 10^{-20}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=2.8\times 10^5\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

uniform disk with mass 40.0 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is station

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is $v= 0.868 m/s$

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration at that point is $a = 4.057 m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the uniform disk is $m_d = 40.0kg$

The radius of the uniform disk is $R_d = 0.200m$

The force applied on the disk is $F_d = 30.0N$

Generally the angular speed i mathematically represented as

$w = \sqrt{2 \alpha \theta}$

Where $\theta$ is the angular displacement given from the question as

$\theta = 0.2000 rev = 0.2000 rev * \frac{2 \pi \ rad }{1 rev}$

$=1.257\ rad$

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration which is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of \ inertia} = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}$

The moment of inertial is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{1}{2} m_dR^2_d$

Substituting values

$I = 0.5 * 40 * 0.200^2$

$= 0.8kg \cdot m^2$

Considering the equation for angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of \ inertia} = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}$

Substituting values

$\alph$ $\alpha = \frac{(30.0)(0.200)}{0.8}$

$= 7.5 rad/s^2$

Considering the equation for angular velocity

$w = \sqrt{2 \alpha \theta}$

Substituting values

$w =\sqrt{2 * (7.5) * 1.257}$

$= 4.34 \ rad/s$

The tangential velocity of a given point on the rim is mathematically represented as

$v = R_d w$

Substituting values

$= (0.200)(4.34)$

$v= 0.868 m/s$

The radial acceleration at hat point is mathematically represented as

$\alpha_r = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$= \frac{0.868^2}{0.200^2}$

$= 3.7699 \ m/s^2$

The tangential acceleration at that point is mathematically represented as

$\alpha _t = R \alpha$

Substituting values

$\alpha _t = (0.200) (7.5)$

$= 1.5 m/s^2$

The magnitude of resultant acceleration at that point is

$a = \sqrt{\alpha_r ^2+ \alpha_t^2 }$

Substituting values

$a = \sqrt{(3.7699)^2 + (1.5)^2}$

$a = 4.057 m/s^2$

A well insulated and perfectly sealed room is installed with 4 HP fan to circulate air for 1.5 hours. Determine the increase in

marissa [1.9K]

"Increase in internal energy = energy consumed by fan " as the room is perfectly insulated and sealed.

energy consumed by fan = power x time
power of fan = 4HP = 4 x 745.7 W = 2982.8 W
time = 1.5 hours = 1.5 x 60 x 60 = 5400 s

energy consumed by fan = 2982.8 x 5400 = 16107120 J = 1.61x10^7 J

Increase in internal energy is 1.61x10^7 J

When Javier touches a hot mug of tea, energy is transferred from the surface of the mug to his hand. What kind of energy is this

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Thermal energy

Explanation:

Thermal energy refers to the energy due to the random motion of the particles inside a substance/objects. The faster the particles moves in an object, the more thermal energy it can transfer. This is also directly related to the concept of temperature of an object: the higher the temperature of an object, the faster its particles move, the more thermal energy the object can transfer.

According to the basic laws of thermodynamics, thermal energy (also called heat) is always transferred spontaneously from an object at higher temperature to an object at lower temperature. In this problem, the hot mug is warmer than Javier's hand, so thermal energy is transferred from the hot mug to Javier's hand.
