Answer:

A) Emin = eV

B) Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

Explanation:

Energy of electron is the product of electron charge and the applied potential difference.

The energy of an electron in this electric field with potential difference V will be eV. Since this is the least energy that the electron must reach to break out, then the minimum energy required by this electron will be;

Emin = eV

The maximum stopping potential energy is eVo,

The energy of the electron due to the light is E_light.

If the minimum energy electron must posses is Φ, then the minimum energy electron must have to reach the detectors will be equal to the energy of the light minus the maximum stopping potential energy

Φ = E_light - eVo

Therefore,

eVo = E_light - Φ

Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

A rectangular copper strip 1.5cm wide and 0.10cn thick carries a current of 5.0A. Find the Hall voltage for a 1.2T magnetic fiel

Scrat [10]

Answer:

4.4345× 10^-7V

Explanation:

The computation of the half voltage for a 1.2T magnetic field applied is shown below

The volume of one mole of copper is

v = m ÷p

= 63.5 ÷ 8.92

= 7.12cm

Now the density of free electrons in copper is

n = Na ÷ V

= 6.02 × 10^23 ÷ 7.12

= 8.456× 10^28/m^3

Now the half voltage is

= IB ÷ nqt

= (5 × 1.20) ÷ (8.456× 10^28 × 1.6 × 10^-19 × 0.1× 10^-2)

= 4.4345× 10^-7V

What does the ozone layer absorb?

diamong [38]

The ozone layer absorbs UV (ultraviolet) radiation. The answer is letter C. the ozone layer is able to oxidize the electros and photons in the UV rays so that the light that can pass through can be not harmful to humans.

An airplane flies with a velocity of 55.0 m/s [ 35° N of W] with respect to the air (this is

rodikova [14]

Answer:

21 m/s.

Explanation:

The computation of the wind velocity is shown below:

But before that, we need to find out the angles between the vectors

53° - 35° = 18°

Now we have to sqaure it i.e given below

v^2 = 55^2 + 40^2 - 2 · 55 · 40 · cos 18°

v^2 = 3025 + 1600 - 2 · 55 · 40 · 0.951

v^2 = 440.6

v = √440.6

v = 20.99

≈ 21 m/s

Hence, The wind velocity is 21 m/s.

A ball is spun around in circular motion such that it completes 50 rotations in 25 s.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

(A) The period of its rotation is 0.5 s (2) The frequency of its rotation is 2 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

a ball is spun around in circular motion such that it completes 50 rotations in 25 s.

(1). Let T be the period of its rotation. It can be calculated as follows :

$T=\dfrac{25}{50}\\\\T=0.5\ s$

(2). Let f be the frequency of its rotation. It can be defined as the number of rotations per unit time. So,

$f=\dfrac{50}{25}\\\\f=2\ Hz$

Hence, this is the required solution.
