In the photoelectric effect, the energy of the incoming photon (E=hf) is used in part to extract the photoelectron from the metal (work function) and the rest is converted into kinetic energy of the photoelectron:
hf = \phi + K
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the incident light
\phi is the work function of the material
K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectron.

The photoelectron generally loses part of its kinetic energy inside the material; however, we are interested in its maximum kinetic energy, that is the one the electron has when it doesn't lose energy, so we can rewrite the previous equation as
K_{max} = hf - \phi

The work function is (in Joule)
\phi = (4.97 eV)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=7.95 \cdot 10^{-19} J

and using the data of the problem, we find the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons
K_{max} = (6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(1.5 \cdot 10^{15} Hz)-7.95 \cdot 10^{-19}J= 1.95 \cdot 10^{-19} J

A 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 degree C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum? Express
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

Explanation:

We have the equation for energy

      E = mcΔT

Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg

ΔT = T - 27.5

Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K

E = 725 J

Substituting

     E = mcΔT

     725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)

     T - 27.5 = 14.31

     T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

A sealed test tube traps 25.0 cm3 of air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and temperature of 18°C. The test tube’s stopper has a diamet
puteri [66]

Answer:

180° C

Explanation:

First we start by finding the area of the stopper.

A = πd²/4, where d = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

A = 3.142 * 0.015² * ¼

A = 1.767*10^-4 m²

Next we find the force on the stopper

F = (P - P•)A, where

F = 10 N

P = pressure inside the tube,

P• = 1 atm

10 = (P - 101325) * 1.767*10^-4

P - 101325 = 10/1.767*10^-4

P - 101325 = 56593

P = 56593 + 101325

P = 157918 Pascal

Now, remember, in an ideal gas,

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, where V is constant, then we have

P1/T1 = P2/T2, and when we substitute the values, we have

101325/(273 + 18) = 157918/ T2

101325/291 = 157918/ T2

T2 = (157918 * 291)/101325

T2 = 453 K

T2 = 453 - 273 = 180° C

A hill that has a 28.1% grade is one that rises 28.1 m vertically for every 100.0 ml of distance in the horizontal direction. At
Serhud [2]

Answer:

\theta=15.70^\circ

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed, in which the vertical elevation is the opposite cathetus and the horizontal distance is the adjacent cathetus, since we know these two values, we can calculate the angle of inclination using the definition of tangent:

tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}\\\theta=arctan(\frac{opp}{adj})\\\theta=arctan(\frac{28.1m}{100m})\\\theta=15.70^\circ

Two long, straight wires both carry current to the right, are parallel, and are 25 cm apart. Wire one carries a current of 2.0 A
Artemon [7]

Answer:

x = 7.14 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current in wire 1, I_1=2\ A

Current in wire 2, I_2=5\ A  

Distance between parallel wires, r = 25 cm

Let at P point the net magnetic field equal to 0. The magnetic field at a point midway between the is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

Let the distance is x from wire 1. So,

\dfrac{I_1}{r}=\dfrac{I_2}{(0.25-r)}

\dfrac{2}{r}=\dfrac{5}{(25-r)}

x=\dfrac{50}{7}\ m

x = 7.14 meters

So, the magnetic field will be 0 at a distance of 7.14 meters from wire 1. Hence, this is the required solution.
