QveST [7]3 years ago

There are 4 ways in which electrons are emitted from the conductor.

i. Thermionic emission

ii. Electric field electron emission

iii. Photoelectric emission

iv. Secondary emission


In thermionic emission large amount of external energy in the form of heat is supplied to release free electrons from the metal.


In electric field electron emission, electrons are emitted from the metal surface when the metals are placed in a very strong electric field.


During photoelectric emission, light is absorbed by the metals and this provides energy to the valence electrons which break their bond with the parent atom and which are then released from the atom.


Valence electrons do have some kinetic energy, but they don't have enough energy to escape from the atom. During secondary emission, a high-speed electron is bombarded with an atom, which provides the energy for the valence electrons to break their bonds with their parent atom which are then released from the atom.

Answer:

Conditions that result in the emission of electrons from a conductor:

Heating the conductor to a suitable temperature

Exposing the conductor to a strong light

Subjecting the conductor to a very high applied voltage

Subjecting the conductor to high-speed electrons from another source

Describe how a planet, solar system, galaxy, and the universe are related in terms of size.
Alexus [3.1K]

- The Solar System contains the sun and objects that orbit it, including the eight planets, comets, and asteroids, and the Galaxy contains about 100 billion stars, of which the sun is one, as well as large clouds of gas and dust. - The universe contains all physical matter and energy

So Therefore Universe Is the biggest terms of size because it contains all physical matter and energy hope it helps

Class II levers like ankles and wheelbarrows are useful because they provide mechanical advantage, by amplifying the input force
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:

TA = W * (a * cosθ)

The torque due to effort at C point is:

TC = E * (b * cosθ)

The net torque is equal to 0, we have:

Tnet = 0

W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0

E=W\frac{a}{b}

From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W

You are driving your motorcycle in a circle of radius 75 m on wet pavement. what is the fastest you can go before you lose tract
stira [4]

On driving your motorcycle in a circle of radius 75 m on wet pavement, the fastest you can go before you lose traction, assuming the coefficient of static friction is 0.20 is 147m/s

Friction helps to maintain the slipping of the vehicle on the road hence lays a very important role.

Maximum velocity of a road with friction is given by the formula,

v = μRg

where, v is the maximum velocity

μ is the coefficient of static friction

R is the radius of the circle road

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given,

μ = 0.20

R = 75m

g = 9.8m/s²

On substituting the given values in the above formula,

v = 0.20× 75 ×9.8

v = 147m/s

So, the Maximum velocity of the wet road is 147m/s.
