The electrostatic force between two charges is inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
So if you want to multiply the force by, say, ' Q ',
you need to multiply the distance by ( 1 / √Q ) .
We want to multiply the force by 16, so we need to
multiply the distance by ( 1 / √16 ) = ( 1 / 4 ) .
The distance should be changed to 1/4 of what it is now.
Answer:
The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of block, m = 2.1 kg
height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m
First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy
¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)
¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)
0.03125K = 118.335
K = 118.335 / 0.03125
K = 3786.72 N/m
Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:
E = U = mgh
U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J
Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:
W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J
This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,
Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:
K.E = E - W
K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J
K.E = 70.59 J
To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:
KE = ¹/₂mv²
70.59 = ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²
70.59 = 1.05v²
v² = 70.59 / 1.05
v² = 67.229
v = √67.229
v = 8.2 m/s
Answer:
the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm
Explanation:
Given data
Φ = 5.32 eV
to find out
the longest wavelength
solution
we know that
hf = k(maximum) +Ф ...............1
here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy
so hf = 0
and hc/ λ = +Ф
so λ = hc/Ф ................2
now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV
so hc = 1240 / 5.32
hc = 233 nm
the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm
