How long would it take a 4,560 watt motor to raise a 166 kg piano to an apartment window

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation here:

P = W/t where W is work and is defined as

W = F*displacement.

Force is a measure in Newtons, which is also weight. We have the mass of the piano, but we need to find the weight:

w = mg so

w = 166(9.8) so

w = 1600N, rounded to the correct number of sig dig. We use that now in the power equation:

$4560=\frac{(1600)(15)}{t}$ and isolating the unknown:

$t=\frac{(1600)(15)}{4560}$ so

t = 5.3 seconds

Silver has a work function of 4.5 eV . Part A What is the longest wavelength of light that will release an electron from a silve

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

1600 AM broadcasts radio waves with wavelengths of about 187.37 m. Convert this to miles.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the radio wave is 187.37 m.

Now, the wavelength is given in meters.

We need to convert the wavelength from meters to miles.

In order to convert meters to miles, we have to use their conversion factor.

We know that,

1 meter = $\frac{1}{1609}\ miles$

Therefore, the conversion factor is given as:

$CF=\frac{1}{1609}\ miles\ per\ meter$

So, the wavelength in miles is given as:

$Wavelength=\textrm{Wavelength in meters}\times CF\\\\Wavelength=187.37\ m\times \frac{\frac{1}{1609}\ miles}{1\ m}\\\\Wavelength=\frac{187.37}{1609}\ miles\\\\Wavelength=0.1165\ miles$

Hence, the wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.
