Answer:

7ev

Explanation:

The Energy of an incident light is given as E = hf;

Where h is Planks constant

f is frequency

Also.

E = Eo + K.E

Where Eo is work function and K.E is kinetic energy.

Hence substituting the given values,

E = 3ev + 2ev = 5ev

The frequency of the incident wave if it's doubled the Energy would be doubled since E is proportional to f with other elements been constant.

Hence :E = 10ev

But K.E = E -Eo

= 10ev - 3ev = 7ev

Maximum Kinetic Energy is 7ev.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice E".

Explanation:

In this situation the option e is right because its resistance decreases through time, however, the time is the same for the same reason, whereas the sphere deteriorates, somehow it travels shorter distances however if the air resistance becomes are using the amplitude of movement declines, that's why other choices were wrong.

Which property increases as an electromagnetic wave's energy decreases?
aleksklad [387]
The answer is B frequency. When frequency increases more wave crests pass a fixed point each second. That means the wavelength shortens. So, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water wit
Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

\Delta KE = \Delta PE

\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 = mgh_2-mgh_1

Where,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = initial and final velocity

g = Gravity

h = height

As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:

\frac{1}{2}v_f^2-\frac{1}{2} v_0^2 = gh_2

\frac{1}{2} (v_f^2-v_0^2) = gh_2

(v_f^2-v_0^2) = 2gh_2

v_f = \sqrt{2gh_2+v_0^2}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(23.5)+13.6^2}

v_f = 25.4m/s
