Answer

given,

work function of gold = 4.90 eV

work function of cesium = 1.90 eV

using energy equation

   E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

h is plank's constant

c is the speed of light

   \lambda = \dfrac{hc}{E}

for gold

   \lambda_g = \dfrac{6.624\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.90\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

  \lambda_g = 2.535\times 10^{-7}\ m

  \lambda_g = 0.254\ \mu m

for cesium

   \lambda_c = \dfrac{6.624\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.90\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

  \lambda_c = 6.537\times 10^{-7}\ m

  \lambda_c = 0.654\ \mu m

On a windy day, the wind turbine transfers 78 W of power. Calculate the amount of energy the turbine transfers in 10s.​
tangare [24]

Answer:

Energy = 780 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 78 Watts

Time = 10 seconds

To find the energy transferred;

Energy refers to the amount or quantity of power which is being consumed by an individual, group of people or organization over a specific period of time.

Mathematically, energy is given by the formula;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 78 * 10

Energy = 780 Joules

Therefore, the amount of energy the turbine transferred is 780 Joules

A car goes from 0 to 26.8 m/s in 6.2 s. What is the average acceleration of the car?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

0 - 60 mph = 0 - 26.8 m/s = 0 - 96.6 km/h; 0 - 100 km/h = 0 - 27.8 m/s = 0 - 62.1 mph.
