Answer:

a) Tantalum

b) 1.93 V

Explanation:

The energy of the incident photon= hc/λ

h= Plank's constant=6.63×10^-34 Is

c= speed of light = 3×10^8 ms-1

λ= wavelength of incident photon

E= 6.63×10^-34 × 3×10^8/ 200×10^-9

E= 0.099×10^-17

E= 9.9×10^-19 J

The kinetic energy of the electron = eV

Where;

e= electronic charge = 1.6×10^-19 C

V= 1.93 V

KE= 1.6×10^-19 C × 1.93 V

KE= 3.1 ×10^-19 J

From Einstein's photoelectric equation;

KE= E -Wo

Wo= E -KE

Wo=9.9×10^-19 J - 3.1 ×10^-19 J

Wo= 6.8×10^-19 J

Wo= 6.8×10^-19 J/1.6×10^-19

Wo= 4.25 ev

The metal is Tantalum

b) the stopping potential remains 1.93 V because intensity of incident photon has no effect on the stopping potential.

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2.
Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. 
1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. 
Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. 

Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. 
e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. 
Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N

What are some ways scientists can study the seafloor?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: A device records the time it takes sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back again. Sound waves travel through water at a known speed. Once scientists know the travel time of the wave, they can calculate the distance to the ocean floor.

A bomb is dropped from a bomber traveling at the speed of 120 km / h, destroying a military objective located at a distance of 2

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

18 km

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

120 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 33.3 m/s

The time it takes the bomb to travel the 2000 meters is:

2000 m / (33.3 m/s) = 60 s

So it takes 60 seconds for the bomb to fall. The distance it fell is therefore:

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (10 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 18,000 m

Δy = 18 km

Jerusha and anavi are working very hard to tend their organic veggie garden when jerusha sees a bunny nibbling on a tender letuc

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Initial Velocity, u = 0 km/s (at rest)

Final Velocity, v = 16 km/s

Time taken, t = 3 sec

acceleration, a = (v - u)/t

= (16 - 0)/3

= 5.33 km/s^2

Far out in space, a 100,000-kg rocket and a 200,000-kg rocket are docked at opposite ends of a motionless 90m-long tunnel. The t

postnew [5]

Answer:

a) $X_{cm} = 60m$

b) I = $5.4*10^8Kg*m^2$

c) $T= 4.5*10^6$ N*m

d) a = $8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2$

e) W= 0.25 rad/s

Explanation:

a) we know that:

$X_{cm} = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m1+m2}$

where $X_cm$ is the ubicaton of the center of mass, $m_1$ the mass of the first rocket, $x_1$ its distances with the rocket 1, $m_2$ the mass of the second rocket and $x_2$ its distance with the rocket 1. So, replacing values, we get:

$X_{cm} = \frac{(100,000kg)(0)+(200,000kg)(90m)}{100,000kg+200,000kg}$

$X_{cm} = 60m$

So, the center of mass is at 60m from the rocket 1.

b) we know that:

$I = M_1R_1^2 +M_2R_2^2$

where I is the moment of inertia, $M_1$ is the mass of the rocket 1, $R_1$ its distance from the center of mass, $M_2$ the mass of the second rocket and $R_2$ the distance between the rocket 2 and the center of mass. So, replacing values, we get:
