Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light

Answer: the magnetic wave will travel out of the screen.

Explanation:

Electric field direction is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. Both are also perpendicular to the direction of the particles.

Using right hand rule to solve this problem,

This pointed finger depicts the electric field direction which the curly fingers depict the direction of the magnetic field. The pointed thumb will depict the direction in which the wave travel. Which is out of the screen.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

W = 12.568rads

V = 1.8852m/s

Explanation:

Data:

r = 15cm = 0.15m

t = 10s

Revolutions = 20

Frequency (F) = number revolutions/ time take complete it

F = 20 / 10 = 2Hz

Angular velocity (w) = 2 * 3.142 * F

Note: 3.142 = value of pi

W = 2*3.142*2 = 12.568 rads

Linear velocity (v) = w*r

V = 12.568*0.15 = 1.8852m/s

What role does friction play in the conservation of enérgy?
Alja [10]

The law of conservation of energy asserts that total energy remains constant in an isolated system. That is, energy cannot be generated or destroyed, but it may be transferred from one form to another. Frictional forces can dissipate energy, which raises the question of whether it violates the law of conservation of energy. No, it does not. When there is friction, energy is transferred from one form to another. There will be no energy loss. To illustrate this issue, consider the following scenario: two buses collide. The buses are no longer moving as a result of the collision. Where does all of this energy go? The solution is simple: the friction between buses and between buses and the road allows energy to be transferred from one form to another. You may be aware that when we rub our hands together, heat is produced; what occurs here is frictional energy converting to heat energy. This is what happens in bus accidents, where the energies can be changed to thermal energy, acoustic energy, or any other type of energy owing to friction and impact. So the energy we believed we had wasted was really converted to heat and sound. Bus collisions are not only noisy, but they also cause a lot of friction on the ground and in the bent metal. Both heat and sound are types of energy.

  • NOTE:
    Nature's exact rules cannot be broken. The law of conservation of energy is an example of such a law. Friction constantly resists relative motion between two surfaces in contact.
