An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir

cuit that "clicks" in response to current. The faster the current, the more clicks per minute. In this experiment, the number of clicks in one minute is recorded for each color of light shining on the photocell. To change the color of light, a different color of cellophane is placed over the same flashlight and the flashlight is then located a specific distance from the photocell.
1. Which of the following was not kept constant?
the test for photocell activation
the color of the light after it has passed through the cellophane
the distance of the light from the photocell
the source of the original light

2. In the above experiment, which factor is the independent variable?
the photocell
the color of the light
the number of clicks
the original source of the light

3. Which of the following would be the best hypothesis for this experiment?
Photoelectric cells are affected by different wavelengths of light.
Red light will activate the photocell to the highest degree.
If photoelectric cells respond better to short wavelengths of light, the red light should activate it the least and blue the most.

Answer:

1. The color of the light after it has passed through the Cellophane

2. The color of the light

3. If photoelectric cells respond better to short wavelengths of light, the red light should activate it the least and the blue the most.

Explanation:

1. The color of the light changes depending on what color cellophane is put in front of the flashlight

2. The color of the light is the independent variable because it is the only part of the experiment that is being altered.

3. In the description they say the purpose of the experiment is to determine what color of light will have the largest affect on the photoelectric cell. Therefore, this matches up best. The one where is says Photoelectric cells are affected by different wavelengths of light doesn't mention which one is better just that they are affected.

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

Calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Net Force = 10N

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Explanation:

calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block

Net force on the block F = mass * acceleration

Net force acting in the positive direction = 4N + 6N = 10N

Mass = 5kg

According to newton's second law;

a = F/m

a = 10N/5

a = 2m/s^2

hence the acceleration on the block is 2m/s^2

A ball dropped from a window strikes the ground 2.76 seconds later. How high is the window above the ground
sweet [91]

Answer:

37.33m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt^2

Time t = 2.76secs

g = 9.8m/s^2

S = 0 + 1/2(9.8)(2.76)^2

S = 4.9*7.6176

S = 37.33

Hence the window is 37.33m above the ground
