Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.

Light with a wavelength of 400 nm strikes the surface of cesium in a photocell, and the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal is 1292 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 400 nm

Energy $E=1.54\times10^{-19}\ J$

We need to calculate the longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{1.54\times10^{-19}}$

$\lambda=1292\times10^{-9}\ m$

$\lambda=1292\ nm$

Hence, The longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal is 1292 nm.

What is the difference between condensation and precipitation

Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

The water cycle is based on three parts;

1. Evaporation

2. Condensation

3. Participation

Condensation:

It is the process in which water vapor changes into liquid water or in other words, it is the transition from the gaseous state to liquid state.

Precipitation:

It is the process in which any liquid or frozen water such as snow that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth

Condensation depends on temperature and pressure whereas precipitation depends on the temperature and the concentration of the solution.

A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near to end a of the rod (figure 1). What happens to end a of the ro

erma4kov [3.2K]

What happens to end a of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time is; It is strongly attracted.

<h3>Electrostatics</h3>

I have attached the image of the rod.

We are told that the ball is much closer to the end of the rod than the length of the rod. Thus, if we point down the rod several times, the distance of approach will experience no electric field and as such the charge on end point A of the rod must be comparable in magnitude to the charge on the ball.

This means that their fields will cancel.

Finally, we can conclude that when a charge is brought close to a conductor, the opposite charges will all navigate to the point that is closest to the charge and as a result, a strong attraction will be created.

This also applies to a strong conducting rod and therefore it is strongly attracted.
