Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats

Answer:

Fluids exert forces on objects because of many molecules of the fluid that continuously collide with the surfaces of the object immersed in the fluid. ... A steel boat floats on water but a steel block does not because the block has more weight than the steel boat due to the buoyant force.

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a cobalt surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 0.17 eV are emitted. Fin

dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) $1.21\times 10^{15}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

$E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda$

$E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV$

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

$E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}$ , here $\Phi _0$ is work function.

$\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}$ = 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

$\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm$

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz$

A .5 kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a .8 kg toy car that is traveling at 2 m/s what is the

Viktor [21]

Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
$m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}$

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s
