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.

The half-life of an anticancer drug is 170 days at 25 oC. Degradation follows the first-order kinetics. When the drug is stored
julsineya [31]

Answer:

1694 days

Explanation:

In first-order kinetics, the rate is proportional to the amount.

dA/dt = kA

For first-order kinetics, the rate k can be found using the half-life:

t₁,₂ = (ln 2) / k

In other words, the half-life is inversely proportional with the rate.

At the lower temperature, the rate is reduced to a third, so the half-life increases by a factor of 3.  Meaning that the new half-life is 170 × 3 = 510 days.

The "shelf life" is the time it takes to reduce the initial amount to 10%.  We can solve for this using the half-life equation.

A = A₀ (½)^(t / t₁,₂)

A₀/10 = A₀ (½)^(t / 510)

1/10 = (½)^(t / 510)

ln(1/10) = (t / 510) ln(½)

ln(10) = (t / 510) ln(2)

ln(10) / ln(2) = t / 510

t = 510 ln(10) / ln(2)

t ≈ 1694

How does air resistance affect the velocity of a falling object?
Rashid [163]
A falling object (directly downward) is slowed down by air resistance. In turn it would take longer to fall.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Increasing until terminal velocity is reached

Explanation:

Provided the scream is a constant pitch at the source, Doppler effect will make the pitch increase as the velocity of the source towards the listener increases.
