First of all the equation you need is this one
<span>E=<span>Ek</span>+ϕ</span> <span><span>Ek</span>=e<span>V0
</span></span>Please remember that the energy of a photon of wavelength lambda is given by <span>E=<span><span>hc</span>λ

</span></span>you can then calculate the maximum kinetic energy since you know the work function of the metal (1.8eV), and the wavelength of the photons (400 nm) (remembering to convert to SI units of joules for the work function). You can then find the maximum velocity of the electrons easy enough.You can obtain the stopping potential usign the next formula
Ek=eV0
<span>Because it is a stopping voltage, V_{0}  and remember it will have the units of volts.
</span>I think with that I can help you a lot.

A particle initially at rest moves along in a line so that its acceleration is a(t) = 10/(t+1) for t&gt;=0.
ddd [48]

Answer: 16.09m/s

Explanation:

Given the acceleration a(t) = 10/(t+1), to derive the velocity function, we need integrate the acceleration function.

v(t) = integral{10/t+1}dt

Since all constants always come out of the integral, the equation becomes;

v(t) = 10integral{1/t+1}dt

One of the integral law is that if the numerator of the function to be integrated is the differential of the denominator, the resulting answer will be natural logarithm of the denominator i.e ln(t+1) since the denominator is ln(t+1) and if differentiated will give us 1 which is the numerator hence, the reason for the answer ln(t+1)

v(t) = 10ln(t+1)

@ t= 4, the velocity of the particle

v(4) = 10ln(4+1)

v(4) = 10ln5

v(4) = 16.09m/s²

Therefore, the velocity of the particle at time t=4 is 16.09m/s
