3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Frequency of 3 x 10¹⁵ ,  wavelength = 3 x 10⁸/3 x 10¹⁵ = 10⁻⁷ m = 1000A.

Energy in eV = 12375/1000 = 12.375 eV.

Maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons = 6.1 eV

Work function = 12.375 - 6.1 = 6.275 eV.

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?
Goshia [24]
To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

A 200-foot tall monument is located in the distance. From a window in a building, a person determines that the angle of elevatio
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

665 ft

Explanation:

Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.

The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is

dtan13^0 = 0.231d

Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees

dtan4^0 = 0.07d

Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is

0.231d + 0.07d = 200

0.301 d = 200

d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft

The voltage supplied to a circuit is 17 V and the current running through is 10 A. What is the power generated?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

170 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = VI.................... Equation 1

Where P = Power generated in watt, V = Voltage supplied to the circuit, I = Current running through the circuit.

From the question,

Given: V = 17 V, I = 10 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (17×10)

P = 170 Watt.

Hence the power generated is 170 W.

The right option is A. 170 W

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.
kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
