Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Threshold wavelength,\lambda_0=262 nm=262\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

a.Work function,w_0=\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}

Where h=6.626\times 10^{-34}

c=3\times 10^8 m/s

Using the formula

w_0=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{262\times 10^{-9}}

w_0=7.59\times 10^{-19} J

b.Wavelength,\lambda=222nm=222\times 10^{-9} m

K.E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-7.59\times 10^{-19}

K.E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{222\times 10^{-9}}-7.59\times 10^{-19}

K.E=8.95\times 10^{-19}-7.59\times 10^{-19}=1.36\times 10^{-19} J

Hence, the maximum kinetic energy of an electron emitted=1.36\times 10^{-19} J

Which of the following is a way that science and the economy interact
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

You didn't add the choices but I'll add some ideas anyway.

Explanation:

Let's start with perhaps the most obvious impact of science on the economy: technology. Scientific discoveries lead to the development of new technologies, which then enter into international markets as highly desirable products.

While humans have always traded technologies, the relationship between technological development and economic growth really dates back to the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. This was the first time that products were being produced on a massive scale, and it was new technologies in steam engines that allowed this to happen.

As people produced more goods, they developed more complex networks of economic exchange across the world. In fact, our modern ideas about free-market economies and capitalism actually date back to this same time period.

Our modern technologies and our modern economies developed simultaneously. We couldn't have one without the other. Today the United States' economy is very largely dependent on the exportation of communications and digital technologies. Its place in the global economy is not defined by its agriculture or raw products, but by its technologies.

an object was accelerated with a force of 150 N from rest to a velocity of 10m/s in 5 sec. the force of friction opposing the ob
astra-53 [7]

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Mass  =  (force) / (acceleration)

There was 150N of force in one direction and 100N of 'force' in
the other direction.  The net force on  the object was (150 - 100) = 50N .

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
                     = (10 m/s) / (5s)  =  2 m/s²

Mass = (net force) / (acceleration) = (50 N) / (2 m/s²) = 25 kilograms

when hard stabilization structures such as groins are used to stabilize a shoreline, the change in the longshore current results
Nikitich [7]

When hard stabilization structures such as groins are used to stabilize a shoreline, the change in the longshore current results <u>deposition of sediment. </u>

On the upcurrent side of the barrier, sediment is deposited as the longshore current slows.

What is Hard stabilization?

  • Hard stabilization is the prevention of erosion through the use of artificial barriers.
  • Other hard stabilization structures, such as breakwaters and seawalls, are built parallel to the beach to protect the coast from the force of waves.
  • Hard stabilization structures, such as groins, are built at right angles to the shore to prevent the movement of sand down the coast and maintain the beach.
  • These constructions are made to last for many years, but because they detract from the visual splendor of the beach, they are not always the ideal answer.
  • Additionally, they affect the habitats and breeding sites of native shoreline species, interfering with the ecosystem's natural processes.
