Answer:

1) 1.67eV

2) 505nm

Explanation:

The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons ,

 KEmax=λhc−W=(0.3×10−6)(1.6×10−19)(6.62×10−34)(3×108)eV−2.46eV=1.67eV

If λ0 is the cut-off wavelength, W=λ0hc

or λ0=Whc=2.46×1.6×10−19(6.62×10−34)(3×108)=5.05×10−7m=505×10−9=505nm

<em>We know that the work function is the minimum photon energy for taking place of photoelectric effect. </em>

4. A latch holding a cart in place, hanging high above the ground, breaks and the cart falls. The cart started from rest and is
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) 31.4 m/s

b) 50.2 m

Explanation:

a) When an object is free falling, its speed is determined by the gravity force giving it acceleration. Equation for the velocity of free fall started from the rest is:

v = g • t

g - is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81 m/s^2, sometimes rounded to 10

t - is the time of free fall

So:

v = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2

v = 31.4 m/s ( if g is rounded to 10, then the velocity is 10 • 3.2 = 32 m/s)

b) To determine the distance crossed in free fall we use the equation:

s = v0 + gt^2/2

v0 - is the starting velocity (since object started fall from rest, its v0 is 0)

s = gt^2/2

s = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2^2 / 2

s = 50.2 m (if we round g to 10 then the distance is 10 • 3.2^2/2 = 51.2 meters)

Describe the forces that act on a skydiver before
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

<em>Before the parachute opens: Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.</em>

<em>Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.</em>
