<h2>Answer: The Photoelectric Effect</h2>

Light can be considered as a wave or as particles, in this context Einstein proposed that light behaves like a stream of particles called <u>photons</u> with an energy, in order to correctly explain the photoelectric effect.

This fenomenom consists in the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface <u>under certain conditions. </u>

So, if we consider light as a stream of photons and each of them has energy, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a <u>kinetic energy</u>.

This means the photoelectric effect can only be explained based on the corpuscular model of light, that is, light is quantized.

The time constant for RC circuit with the values of R1 and C1 is 5ms. What will be the time constant for a new RC circuit with t

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

d. 25 ms

Explanation:

In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:

$\tau_{1} = R_{1} *C_{1} = 5 ms (1)$

If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:

$\tau_{2} =10* R_{1} *0.5*C_{1} = 5*(R_{1}* C_{1}) = 5* \tau_{1} = 5* 5 ms = 25 ms (2)$

Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Two tennis balls that are near each other

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is

$F = \dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{d^{2} }$

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.

Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.

If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.

The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.

The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.

Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.
