Answer:

Option B

"Packets" of electromagnetic energy eject electrons.

Explanation:

A photon is a tiny packet of light. Light as we know is a form of electromagnetic energy. Whenever light is incident on a photoelectric surface, the energy of the light wave gets transferred to the electron, causing it to have enough energy to eject electrons from its surface. The electrons, once ejected, are now free to move about, thus, resulting in the flow of electrical current.

This makes option B the correct answer

A grandfather clock depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time.(ii) Suppose a grandfather clock is calibrated corr

ANEK [815]

The grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).

<h3>What is Time Period of an oscillation?</h3>

The time period of an oscillation refers to the time taken by an object to complete one oscillation.
It is the inverse of frequency of oscillation; denoted by "T".

Now,

$\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ , where L is the length and g is the gravitational constant, is the formula for a pendulum's period.
The period will increase as one climbs a very tall mountain because g will slightly decrease.
Due to this and the previous issue, the clock runs slowly and it seems that one second is longer than it actually is.

Hence, the grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).

1) Roland has built a circuit, and is using a device called an ammeter to measure how quickly electrical current is flowing thro

zaharov [31]

Answer:

1) 3.9 %

2) 1,38 kg

3) 0.13 cubic meters

Explanation:

Part 1)

Calculated current = 0.180 amps

Measured current: 0.173 amps

percent error : $\frac{0.180 - 0.173}{0.180} \,100=3.9$ %

Part 2)

mass1 = 1,155 kg

mass2 = 0.22 kg

Addition; 1.155 + 0.22 = 1 375 kg which should be rounded to just two decimals according to the addition rules for uncertainties:

Answer : 1,38 kg

Part 3)

Volume = 0.885 x 0.20 x 0.75 cubic meters = 0.13275 cubic meters

Notice that the smallest number of significant figures among the set of dimension given is two. Therefore, our answer should be rounded to two significant figures. That is:

Volume = 0.13 cubic meters

The body falls in a free fall 11s.Calculate: a) from what height the body of the paddle) what path did it fall during the last s

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

a) h = 593.50 m

b) h₁₁ = 103 m

c) vf = 107.91 m/s

Explanation:

We will use second equation of motion to find the height:

$h = v_{i}t + (\frac{1}{2})gt^2$

where,

h = height = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 11 s

g = 9.81 /s²

Therefore,

$h = (0\ m/s)(11\ s) + (\frac{1}{2})(9.8\ m/s^2)(11\ s)^2\\\\$

For the distance travelled in last second, we first need to find velocity at 10th second by using first equation of motion:

$v_{f} = v_{i} + gt$

where,

vf = final velocity at tenth second = v₁₀ = ?

t = 10 s

vi = 0 m/s

Therefore,

$v_{10} = 0\ m/s + (9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ s)\\\\v_{10} = 98.1\ m/s$

Now, we use the 2nd equation of motion between 10 and 11 seconds to find the height covered during last second:

$h = v_{i}t + (\frac{1}{2})gt^2$

where,

h = height covered during last second = h₁₁ = ?

vi = v₁₀ = 98.1 m/s

t = 1 s

Therefore,

$h_{11} = (98.1\ m/s)(1\ s) + (\frac{1}{2})(9.8\ m/s^2)(1\ s)^2\\\\$

Now, we use first equation of motion for complete motion:

$v_{f} = v_{i} + gt$

where,

vf = final velocity at tenth second = ?

t = 11 s

vi = 0 m/s

Therefore,

$v_{f} = 0\ m/s + (9.81\ m/s^2)(11\ s)$
