Answer:

B. the acceleration of a skydiver depends upon the force of gravity and wind resistance

Explanation:

Newtons second law of motion states that: the force (F) acting upon an object is directly proportional to the mass (M) of the object and the acceleration (a).

Basically this law states that the acceleration of a body is dependent on the force and mass of the body. If the force exerted on the body changes the acceleration will also change. and if the mass of the body changes, the acceleration will also be affected

from the options, the only option that refers to acceleration is option B

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

material work function is 0.956 eV

Explanation:

given data

red wavelength 651 nm

green wavelength 521 nm

photo electrons = 1.50 × maximum kinetic energy

to find out

material work function

solution

we know by Einstein photo electric equation  that is

for red light

h ( c / λr ) = Ф +  kinetic energy

for green light

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × kinetic energy

now from both equation put kinetic energy from red to green

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × (h ( c / λr ) - Ф)

Ф =( hc / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

put all value

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} )  / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} ) / 0.50 ) × ( 1.50/ 651×10^{-9}   - 1/ 521 ×10^{-9})

Ф = 1.5305  ×10^{-19} J  × ( 1ev / 1.6 ×10^{-19} J )

Ф = 0.956 eV

material work function is 0.956 eV

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s
butalik [34]

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N

A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. the key falls straight down and lands in a model boat traveling at a con
erastova [34]

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2..

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2.

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

d= v \times t

From above substituting t,

d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }.

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m.

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.
