Marianna [84]2 years ago

Answer:

a. P.E = 3430Joules.

b. Workdone = 3430Nm

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 70kg

Distance = 5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the potential energy;

Potential energy = mgh

P.E = 70*9.8*5

<em>P.E = 3430J</em>

b. To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 70*9.8

Force = 686 Newton.

Workdone = 686 * 5

<em>Workdone = 3430Nm</em>

When you irradiate a metal with light of wavelength 433 nm in an investigation of the photoelectric effect, you discover that a
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 2.87 eV

(b) 1.4375 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

= 433 nm

Potential difference,

= 1.43 V

Now,

(a)

The energy of photon will be:

E = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}

  = 4.59\times 10^{-19} \ J

or,

  = \frac{4.59\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

  = 2.87 \ eV

(b)

As we know,

⇒ Vq=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-\Phi_0

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ 1.43\times 1.6\times 10^{19}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}-\Phi_0

⇒                       \Phi_0=2.3\times 10^{-19} \ J

or,

⇒                            =\frac{2.3\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

⇒                            =1.4375 \ eV

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.

Can tectonic plates switch places with other tectonic plates, Im generally curious
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Earth's crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.
