A hungry rat is placed in a maze. It walks the following path to find a piece of cheese. 4.0m N, 7.5 m E, 6.8 m S, 3.7 m E, 3.6
2 answers:
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall take the help of vector form of displacement . Taking east as i and north as j
4.0m N = 4 j
7.5 m E = 7.5 i
6.8 m S = - 6.8 j
3.7 m E, = 3.7 i
3.6 m S = - 3.6 j
5.3 m W = - 5.3 i
3.7 m N, = 3.7 j
5.6 m W = - 5.6 i
4.4 m S = - 4.4 j
4.9 m W = - 4.9 i
Total displacement = 4j +7.5 i -6.8j+3.7i-3.6j-5.3i+3.7j-5.6i-4.4j-4.9i
= -4.6 i -7.1 j
magnitude of displacement =
= 8.46 m
Direction
Tanθ = 7.1/ 4.6
θ = 57⁰ south of west .
distance walked = 4+7.5 +6.8+3.7+3.6+5.3+3.7+5.6+4.4+4.9
= 49.5 m

The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.
Theoretical mass of Mg-24:
The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:
Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu
Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu
Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu
Note that the mass defect is:
Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu

Answer:
The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is 303.7 nm
Explanation:
Given;
wavelength of the UV light, λ = 248 nm = 248 x 10⁻⁹ m
maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron, K.E = 0.92 eV
let the work function of the aluminum metal = Ф
Apply photoelectric equation:
E = K.E + Ф
Where;
Ф is the minimum energy needed to eject electron the aluminum metal
E is the energy of the incident light
The energy of the incident light is calculated as follows;
The work function of the aluminum metal is calculated as;
Ф = E - K.E
Ф = 8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ - (0.92 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)
Ф = 8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 1.474 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Ф = 6.546 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is calculated as;
