A. If an electron of 16 eV had a head-on collision with a Cs atom at rest, what would be the kinetic energy in eV) of the recoil

ing Cs atom? Assume an elastic collision. (Take the atom to be the most abundant isotope of the element. B. In a Frank-Hertz experiment, the first excited state of Hg is obtained at an accelerating voltage measured to be 4.87 V. Based on this measured value, determine the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation you expect to be emitted.

Answer:

A) 1.96 * 10^-8 J

B) 2.55 * 10^-7 m

Explanation:

A) calculate the kinetic energy in eV of the recoiling Cs atom

we have to apply the principle of energy conservation and momentum

Initial kinetic energy of electron = 16 eV = 16 * (1.6 * 10^-19 ) J

Initial kinetic energy of atom = 0

therefore the final kinetic energy after collision ( E )

= [ 16 * ( 1.6 * 10^-19 ) ] + 0

= 1.96 * 10^-8 J

B) Determine the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation

accelerating Voltage = 4.87 V

K.E = eV = 1.6 * 10^-19 * 4.87

next we will apply Planck's relationship

\frac{hc}{w} = KE  ---------  ( 1 )

w = wavelength

h = 6.64 * 10^-34 J-S ( Planck's constant )

c = 3 * 10 ^8 m/sec  ( speed of light )

KE = 1.6 * 10^-19 * 4.87

substitute given values into equation 1 above

w ( wavelength ) =  2.55 * 10^-7 m

This is a two part question: What is the force of friction acting on a 100 kg steel slab at rest on a steel floor?
Crazy boy [7]
1) 0N... friction opposes the motion of an object, since the block is at rest there is no motion thus no friction

2) F=ma
= (5.5kg)(30m/s)

A truck of mass 200kg rests on an inclined plane hindered from rolling down the surface by a storing sprint whose force constant
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J

Some liquid is poured into a burrete so that it reads 14cm³.50 drops were run each of volume 0.1cm³ .
nika2105 [10]

Given :

Liquid is poured into a burrete so that it reads 14cm³.

50 drops were run each of volume 0.1cm³ .

To Find :

The volume of liquid in burrete after 50 drops.

Solution :

Volume of each drop, v = 0.1 cm³.

Initial volume in burrete, V = 14 cm³.

Now, volume left after droping 50 drops are :

L = V - 50v\\\\L = 14 - 50\times 0.1 \ cm^3 \\\\L = 9 \ cm^3

Therefore, the volume left in burrete is 9 cm³ .
