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.

The magnitude of the magnetic field at point P for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.12 μT. What is the magnitude of the elect
valkas [14]

Answer:

The electric field is  E =  636 \ V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The magnitude of magnetic field is B  =  2.12 \mu T  =  2.12*10^{-6} \ T

      The value for speed of light is  c =  3.0 *10^8 \ m/s

Generally the magnitude of the electric field at point P is

        E =  B * c

substituting values

         E =  2.12 *10^{-6} *  3.0 *10^{8}

         E =  636 \ V/m

a body weights 28N at a height of 3200km from the earth surface.What will be the gravitational force on that body if its lies on
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The object would weight 63 N on the Earth surface

Explanation:

We can use the general expression for the gravitational force between two objects to solve this problem, considering that in both cases, the mass of the Earth is the same. Notice as well that we know the gravitational force (weight) of the object at 3200 km from the Earth surface, which is (3200 + 6400 = 9600 km) from the center of the Earth:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\28\,\,N=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{9600000^2}

Now, if the body is on the surface of the Earth, its weight (w) would be:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\w=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{6400000^2}

Now we can divide term by term the two equations above, to cancel out common factors and end up with a simple proportion:

\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9600000^2}{6400000^2} \\\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9}{4} \\\\ \\w=\frac{9\,*\,28}{4}\,\,\,N\\w=63\,\,N \\

A sound wave is often called a pressure wave because there are regions of high and low pressure established in them medium throu
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

A sound wave is often called a pressure wave because there are regions of high and low pressure established in them medium through which the sound wave travels. The regions of high pressure are known as <u>Compressions</u> and the regions of low pressure are known as <u>Rarefactions</u> . Sound waves are composed of compressions and rarefactions. Compressions are the parts where the molecules are congusted and pressed together. However in the rarefactions molecules are relax and have enough space for expansion. Sound waves are the logitudnal waves and always been defined as the motion of the medium particles parallel to the wave motion.

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 750 m above the ground. (assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) find the dista
Gekata [30.6K]
(a) The stone moves by uniform accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2 directed downwards, and its initial vertical position at time t=0 is 750 m. So, the vertical position (in meters) at any time t can be written as
y(t)= y_0 -  \frac{1}{2}gt^2= 750 - 4.9 t^2

(b) The time the stone takes to reach the ground is the time at which the vertical position of the stone becomes zero: y(t)=0. So, we can write
750-4.9 t^2 = 0
from which we find the time t after which the stone reaches the ground:
t= \sqrt{\frac{750 m}{4.9 m/s^2 }}= 12.37 s

(c) The velocity of the stone at time t can be written as
v(t) = -gt
because it is an accelerated motion with initial speed zero. Substituting t=12.37 s, we find the final velocity of the stone:
v(12.37 s)=-(9.81 m/s^2)(12.37 s)=-121.3 m/s

(d) if the stone has an initial velocity of v_0 = 6 m/s, then its law of motion would be
y(t)=y_0 - v_0t -  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
and we can find the time it needs to reach the ground by requiring again y(t)=0:
0=750 - 6t - 4.9 t^2
which has two solutions: one is negative so we neglect it, while the second one is t=11.78 s, so this is the time after which the stone reaches the ground.
