Alex777 [14]

Answer:

C. Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

From the physical definition, power is defined as the rate of a body doing work. It is expressed as

P = w/t watts

Where

w - is the work done or the energy of the system in joules

t - time

The unit of power is represented in watts.

Whenever there is a rate of change of energy in the system, it accounts for the efficiency of the power of the system.

Hence, the statements of both technicians are correct.

How does a distance-time graph show you which direction the runner is moving? Use your own words and science vocabulary.

Dmitry [639]

In a distance time graph, when the x and y values are positive (in first quadrant), the runner is moving forward.

While, if the distance value ( in the y axis) is negative, the runner is moving backwards ( towards the start) .

Hope it helps :)

The following table lists the work functions of a few commonmetals, measured in electron volts.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Lithium

Explanation:

The equation for the photoelectric effect is

$\frac{hc}{\lambda}= \phi + K_{max}$

where

$\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ is the energy of the incident photon, with

h being the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

$\phi$ is the work function of the metal (the minimum energy needed to extract the photoelectron from the metal)

$K_{max}$ is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons

In this problem, we have

$\lambda= 190 nm = 1.9\cdot 10^{-7}m$ is the wavelength of the incident photon

$K_{max}=4.0 eV$ is the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons

First of all we can find the energy of the incident photon

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.90\cdot 10^{-7} m}=1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J$

Converting into electronvolts,

$E=\frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.6 eV$

So now we can re-arrange the equation of the photoelectric effect to find the work function of the metal

$\phi = E-K_{max}=6.6 eV - 4.0 eV=2.6 eV$

So the metal is most likely Lithium, which has a work function of 2.5 eV.

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years. Convert this distance

alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.

Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :

$1\ light\ year=3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

So, $4.218\ light\ year=4.218\times 3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

$4.218\ light\ year=1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches$

We need to convert 4.218 light-years barley corns.

Since, 1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch

$1\ inch=3\ barleycorn$

$1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches=3\times 1.56\times 10^{18}=4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$

So, the nearest star to the Earth is at a distance of $4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

According,to the law of conservation of energy,the amount of energy in a closed system always stay constant. ... So,the amount of work output and other transformed energy is equal to the amount of energy inputs. • In this way,the conservation of energy is fulfilled by the machines.
