Answer: Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. For example, when you try to push a book along the floor, friction makes this difficult. Force: Force is essentially a push, or a pull action, that can lead to certain outcomes.
Explanation:
For example, when a drum is struck, the flexible skin (sometimes called a membrane) of the drum vibrates. The compression and expansion of the air on either side of the vibrating membrane produces differences in air pressure. The pressure differences generate a sound wave that propagates outward from the drum surface.
Answer:
When a positive charged object is placed near a conductor electrons are attracted the the object. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side. As you know, electrons are always moving. They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.
The statement “When
an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is
curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on
the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.
Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V
Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:
h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.
In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0
in this case h*ν=W
(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV
λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV
λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm
From this h*ν = Ek+W; we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm
then we have
(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek
Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV
Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.
