Answer:

Potential to kinetic

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object that is kept in the stationary position. Kinetic energy is the energy that is stored in the moving object.

The book was primarily in the state of rest and had potential energy in it. When Lauren pushed the book, the potential energy changed into kinetic energy because it fell from the state of rest to state of motion.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

$5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

$\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J$

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

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

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

Using $E=\phi$ and solving for $\lambda$ , we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m$

And since

1 angstrom = $10^{-15}m$

The wavelength in angstroms is

$\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

Sphere 1 with radius R_1 has positive charge q, Sphere 2 with radius 4.50 R_1 is far from sphere 1 and initially uncharged. The

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

capacitance of sphere 2 will be 4.5 times sphere 1

a ) when spheres are in contact they will have same potential finally . So

V_1 / V_2 = 1

b )

Charge will be distributed in the ratio of their capacity

charge on sphere1 = q x 1 / ( 1 + 4.5 )

= q / 5.5

fraction = 1 / 5.5

c ) charge on sphere 2

= q x 4.5 / 5.5

fraction = 4.5 / 5.5

d ) surface charge density of sphere 1

= q /( 5.5 x A ) where A is surface area

surface charge density of sphere 2

= q x 4.5 /( 5.5 x 4.5² A ) where A is surface area

= q /( 5.5 x 4.5 A )

q_1/q_2 = 4.5

Two loudspeakers are about 10 mm apart in the front of a large classroom. If either speaker plays a pure tone at a single freque

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

I hear points of low volume sound and points of high volume of sound.

Explanation:

This is because, since the two sources of sound have the same frequency and are separated by a distance, d = 10 mm, there would be successive points of constructive and destructive interference.

Since their frequencies are similar, we should have beats of high and low frequency.

So, at points of low frequency, the amplitude of the wave is smallest and there is destructive interference. The frequency at this point is the difference between the frequencies from both speakers. Since the frequency from both speakers is 400 Hz, we have, f - f' = 400 Hz - 400 Hz = 0 Hz. So, the volume of the sound is low(zero) at these points.

Also, at points of high frequency, the amplitude of the wave is highest and there is constructive interference. The frequency at this point is the sum between the frequencies from both speakers. Since the frequency from both speakers is 400 Hz, we have, (f + f') = 400 Hz + 400 Hz = 800 Hz. So, the volume of the sound is high at these points.

So, as you wander around the room, I should hear points of high and low sound across the room.
