If the light shining on the metal becomes brighter, will the number of electrons being emitted per second (the photo-current)inc

rease?

Answer:

The given statement is correct.

When the light becomes brighter then the electron emitted per second increases.

when light is incident on the metal it delivers energy in the form of small energy packets.

these small energy packets is known as photons.

More the intensity of light more the photon will be emitted.

Electron gain kinetic energy after absorbing energy from the photon.

A ball thrown with 50N of force accelerates at 25 m/s2. What is the mass of the ball?

MrRissso [65]

F=ma
Force is 50N. Acceleration is 25 m/s^2.
50N=m*25 m/s^2
Divide both sides by 25.
mass=2 kg

A 0.400-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 5.86 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second, b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards, c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explanation:

a) Since collision is perfectly elastic and there are no external forces exerted on pucks system, the phenomenon must be modelled after the Principles of Momentum and Energy Conservation. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. That is:

Momentum

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}$

Energy

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})$

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Where:

$m_{1}$ , $m_{2}$ - Masses of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1,o}$ , $v_{2,o}$ - Initial speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Final speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

If $m_{1} = 0.400\,kg$ , $m_{2} = 0.900\,kg$ , $v_{1,o} = +5.86\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the system of equation is simplified as follows:

$2.344\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f} + 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$13.736\,J = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Let is clear $v_{1,f}$ in first equation:

$0.4\cdot v_{1,f} = 2.344 - 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f}$

Now, the same variable is substituted in second equation and resulting expression is simplified and solved afterwards:

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f})^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (34.340-26.37\cdot v_{2,f}+5.063\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 13.736-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} +2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} = 0$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}\cdot (v_{2,f}-3.606) = 0$

There are two solutions:

$v_{2,f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ or $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$

The first root coincides with the conditions before collision and the second one represents a physically reasonable solution.

Now, the final speed of the 0.400-kg puck is: ( $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot (3.606)$

$v_{1,f} = -2.254\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second.

b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards.

c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits

Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.
