In a photoelectric experiment it is found that a stopping potential of 1.00 V is needed to stop all the electrons when incident

light of wavelength 278 nm is used and 2.6 V is needed for light of wavelength 207 nm. From these data determine Planck's constant and the work function of the metal.

Answer:

Planck’s constant is $6.9*10^{-34} Js$

work function of metal is $5.846*10^{-19}$

Explanation:

The maximum kinetic energy from electron from photoelectric effect is given by

$\K_{max}=eV_o$ where $V_o$ is applied voltage and e is charge on electron and substituting charge on electron by $1.6*10^{-19}$ and 1.00 V for $V_o$

$K_{max}=1.6*10^{-19}*1=1.6*10^{-19} J$

Considering that the wavelength, \lambda of light used is given as $278*10^{-9} m$

Energy of light is given by

$E=\frac {hc}{ \lambda}$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, h is Planck’s constant and c is speed of light. Taking c for $3*10^{8} m/s$

Substituting values of wavelength and speed of light we obtain

$E=\frac {h*3*10^{8}}{278*10^{-9}}=h1.07914*10^{15} J$

If work function is $\phi$ then

$E=\phi + k_{max}$ hence

$h1.07914*10^{15} J=\phi +1.6*10^{-19} J$ ------- Equation 1

Energy corresponding to wavelength of 207 nm is

$E=h\frac {3*10^{8} m/s}{207*10^{-9}}=h(1.45*10^{15}}) J$

Maximum kinetic energy of electrons when $V_o$ is 2.6 V becomes

$K_{max}=(1.6*10^{-19})*2.6V=4.16*10^{-19} J$

From $E=\phi + k_{max}$ and substituting $h(1.45*10^{15}}) J$ for E and $4.16*10^{-19} J$ for $K_{max}$ we have

$h(1.45*10^{15}}) J=\phi +4.16*10^{-19} J$ ------ Equation 2

Equation 2 minus equation 1 gives

$h3.71*10^{14}=2.56*10^{-19}$

$h=\frac {2.56*10^{-19}}{3.71*10^{14}}\approx 6.9*10^{-34} Js$

Therefore, Planck’s constant is $6.9*10^{-34} Js$

Recalling equation 1 and substituting back the value of h as obtained

$h1.07914*10^{15} J=\phi +1.6*10^{-19} J$

$(6.9*10^{-34})*(1.07914*10^{15})=\phi +1.6*10^{-19} J$

$\ph=(6.9*10^{-34})*(1.07914*10^{15})-(1.6*10^{-19})=5.846*10^{-19}$

Therefore, work function of metal is $5.846*10^{-19}$

A 2137 kg car moving east at 12.91 m/s collides with a 3264 kg car moving north. The cars stick together and move as a unit afte

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The speed of the 3264 kg car before collision is 6.32 m/s

Explanation:

Let first car, mass m₁, moving east be moving with velocity, v₁ and second car, mass m₂, moving north be moving with velocity, v₂. Let the velocity of the two cars after collision be v₃

In a Collison (whether elastic or inelastic), momentum is always conserved.

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision.

Momentum before collision = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

v₁ = (12.91î) m/s in vector form, m₁ = 2137 kg

v₂ = ?, v₂ = (v₂j) m/s in vector form, m₂ = 3264 kg

Momentum before collision = (2137)(12.91î) + (3264)(v₂j) = (27590î + 3264v₂j) kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (total mass of the cars after collision) × (velocity of the stuck-together cars after collision)

Total mass of the cars after collision = m₁ + m₂ = 2137 + 3264 = 5401 kg

Velocity after collision, v₃ = 6.38 m/s In the N36.8°E direction, put in vector form,

v₃ = (6.38 cos 36.8°î + 6.38 sin 36.8°j)

v₃ = (5.11î + 3.82j) m/s

Momentum after collision = 5401 (5.11î + 3.82j) = (27590î + 20641.4j) kgm/s

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision.

(27590î + 3264v₂j) = (27590î + 20641.4j)

Comparing components

3264v₂ = 20641.4j

v₂ = 6.32 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

How to measure the speed of sound in air?

Leona [35]

STEP ONE:

Let you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.

STEP TWO:

Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.

STEP THREE:

Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t

Followed by the previous question: presume that the electron performs a uniform circular motion around the hydrogen nucleus. Wha

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

$r=5\times 10^{-11}$

$T=1.5 \times 10^{-16}$

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically given as

$Velocity (v)=\frac{2 \pi r}{t}$

$V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}$

$V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}$

Generally the equation for Centripetal acceleration is mathematically given as

$A_c=\frac{V^2}{r}$

$A_c=(\frac{20.944*10^5)}{r5*10^{-11}}$

$A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s$

What is the change in velocity of a 22-kg object that experiences a force of 15 N for

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Force = mass × acceleration

Acceleration:

${ \tt{15 = (22 \times a)}} \\ { \tt{a = \frac{15}{22} \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}$

From first Newton's equation of motion:

${ \bf{v = u + at}}$

Change = v - u:

${ \tt{v - u = (a \times t)}} \\ { \tt{v - u = ( \frac{15}{22} \times 1.2) }} \\ { \tt{v - u = 0.82 \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}$

An 67-kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.3 m/s. A 70-kg jogger is heading 61 ° north of east at a speed of 1.3 m/s. F

ololo11 [35]

Answer

given,

mass of jogger = 67 kg

speed in east direction = 2.3 m/s

mass of jogger 2 = 70 Kg

speed = 1.3 m/s in 61 ° north of east.

jogger one

$P_1 = m_1 v_1 \hat{i}$

$P_1 = 67 \times 2.3\hat{i}$

$P_1 = 154.1 \hat{i}$

$P_2 = m_2 v_2 \hat{i} +m_2 v_2 \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times v cos \theta \hat{i} +70\times v sin \theta \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times 1.3 cos 61^0 \hat{i} +70\times 1.3 sin 61^0\hat{j}$

$P_2 = 44.12\hat{i} +79.59\hat{j}$

now

P = P₁ + P₂

$P = 198.22 \hat{i} +79.59 \hat{j}$

magnitude

$P = \sqrt{198.22^2 + 79.59^2}$

$P =213.60 kg.m/s$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{79.59}{198.22}$

$\theta = 21.87$

the angle is $\theta = 21.87$ north of east
