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 disk of mass m and moment of inertia of I is spinning freely at 6.00 rad/s when a second identical disk, initially not spinnin

Answer:

The angular speed of the new system is $3\,\frac{rad}{s}$ .

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces between both disks, the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation is observed. Since axes of rotation of each disk coincide with each other, the principle can be simplified into its scalar form. The magnitude of the Angular Momentum is equal to the product of the moment of inertial and angular speed. When both disks begin to rotate, moment of inertia is doubled and angular speed halved. That is:

$I\cdot \omega_{o} = 2\cdot I \cdot \omega_{f}$

Where:

$I$ - Moment of inertia of a disk, measured in kilogram-square meter.

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\omega_{f}$ - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

This relationship is simplified and final angular speed can be determined in terms of initial angular speed:

$\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \omega_{o}$

Given that $\omega_{o} = 6\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , the angular speed of the new system is:

$\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(6\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)$

$\omega_{f} = 3\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The angular speed of the new system is $3\,\frac{rad}{s}$ .

A tennis player serves a tennis ball such that it is moving horizontally when it leaves the racquet. When the ball travels a hor

finlep [7]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 38.46 m/s.

Explanation:

The horizontal distance travel by the tennis ball = 13 m

The height at which the tennis ball dropped = 56 cm

Now calculate the initial speed of tennis ball.

The vertical velocity is zero.

Below is the calculation. Here, first convert centimetre into kilometre. So, height at which ball dropped is 0.56 km.

$v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.56} = 3.32 m/s \\$

$t = \frac{3.32}{9.8} = 0.338s \\$

$Ux \times t = 13 \\$

$Ux = \frac{13}{0.338} = 38.46 m/s = Initial velocity.$
