Acceleration is a change in velocity and velocity, in turn is a measure of the speed and direction of motion.

What is the name of the protein did the human use to create dogs?

Margaret [11]

Humans did not create dogs.

Humans have never created any new living species.

So far, the only one who can do that is You Know Who.

In the high jump, the kinetic energy of an athlete is transformed into gravitational potential energy without the aid of a pole.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.0 m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (potential, PE, + kinetic, KE) of the athlete must be conserved.

Therefore, we can write:

$KE_i+PE_i =KE_f+PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

where:

m is the mass of the athlete

u is the initial speed of the athlete (at the bottom)

0 is the initial potential energy of the athlete (at the bottom)

v = 0.80 m/s is the final speed of the athlete (at the top)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.80 m is the final height of the athlete (at the top)

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial speed at which the athlete must jump:

$u=\sqrt{v^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0.80^2+2(9.8)(1.80)}=6.0 m/s$

If an object were released in space far away from planted or stars and given an initial momentum, describe what would happen to

mamaluj [8]

Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.

Ultraviolet light of wavelength 270 nm strikes a metal whose work function is 2.3 eV.What is the shortest de Broglie wavelength

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of ultraviolet light, λ = 270 nm

work function of the metal, φ = 2.3 eV = 2.3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the ultraviolet light is given by;

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\E = \frac{(6.626*10^{-34} )(3*10^{8}) }{270*10^{-9} }\\\\E = 7.362 * 10^{-19} \ J$

The energy of the incident light is related to kinetic energy of the electron and work function of the metal by the following equation;

E = φ + K.E

K.E = E - φ

K.E = (7.362 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) - (3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J )

K.E = 3.677 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

mv² = 2K.E

velocity of the electron is given by;

$V = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} }\\\\V = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.677*10^{-19}) }{9.1*10^{-31} } }\\\\V = 8.99*10^{5} \ m/s$

the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons is given by;

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\\ \\\lambda = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} }{(9.1*10^{-31})( 8.99*10^{5} )}\\\\\lambda = 8.10*10^{-10} \ m\\\\\lambda = 0.81 \ nm$

Therefore, the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm
