Answer:

h = 493 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 2.9 s later.

The total distance covered by the rock is 2d. We know that,

Speed = distance/time

v=\dfrac{2d}{t}\\\\d=\dfrac{vt}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{340\times 2.9}{2}\\\\d=493\ m

So, the height of the cliff is equal to 493 m.

Explain velocity ratio. Explain and define the efficiency of a machine​
Norma-Jean [14]
Velocity ratio is also defined as the ratio of a distance through which any part of a machine moves, to that which the driving part moves during the same time. An object has a mechanical advantage if it exerts a force higher than the velocity ratio.

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree
lina2011 [118]
A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
 T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
   = 6.28 × √0.0673
    = 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
 thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b)  The vertical distance, the height is given by
 h= 0.66 cos 12
 h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
 mgh = 1/2mv²
  v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01 
                   = 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
   = 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
   = 0.0304 J

he work function of a certain metal is 1.90 eV. What is the longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission fr
bixtya [17]

Answer:

6538.8 Angstrom

Explanation:

work function, w = 1.9 eV = 1.9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 J = 3.04 x 10^-19 J

Let the longest wavelength is λ.

W = h c / λ

λ = h c / W

λ = (6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (3.04 x 10^-19)

λ = 6.5388 x 10^-7 m = 6538.8 Angstrom

Thus, the longest wavelength is 6538.8 Angstrom.
