For a photoelectric tube, calculate the voltage which will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plat

e reaching the collector plate when light of frequency 6 x 1014Hz is incident on a sodium plate. Addition information: 1 e = 1.6 x 10-19C Plank's Constant, h = 6.64 x 10-34 Work function, Wo, of sodium = 2.2 x 10-19J

Answer:

1.11 V

Explanation:

Given that the Einstein photoelectric equation states that;

KE = E - Wo

E = energy of incident photon

Wo= work function of the metal

E = hf = 6.64 x 10-34 * 6 x 1014

E = 39.84 * 10^-20 J or 3.98 * 10^-19 J

KE = 3.98 * 10^-19 J - 2.2 x 10-19J

KE = 1.78 * 10^-19J

We convert this value of KE to electron volts

KE = 1.78 * 10^-19J/1.6 x 10-19C

KE = 1.11 eV

Hence; 1.11 V will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plate reaching the collector plate.

A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,

fomenos

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

$m'=2m$

therefore, the new momentum is

$p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p$

so, the momentum has also doubled.

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.2 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 0.80 m/s. The balls have a glancing

Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

$m = m_{1}=m_{2}$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

Along X- axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i$

$v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s$

Along Y-axis

$0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{1}=-v_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s$

Then the final speed of the first ball

$v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}$

$v_{1}=1.95\ m/s$

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}$

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=-44.16^{\circ}$

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges( $q_1,q_2$ ) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.

Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:

$F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-30*10^{-9}C)(-30*10^{-9}C)}{(8*10^{-2}m)^2}\\F=1.26*10^{-3}N$
