Answer:

Light of a shorter wavelength should be used.

Explanation:

This is studied in the phenomenon called photoelectric effect, in which light is able to release electrons from a metal, said electrons are called photoelectrons .

The experiments that have been carried out show that <u>increasing  or decreasing the intensity of the light will not cause the photoelectrons to be emitted</u>, what will cause the photoelectrons to be emitted is to increase the frequency of the incident light.

And a higher frequency corresponds to a shorter wavelength according to the equation:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

(where f is frequency, c the speed of light, and \lambda the wavelength)

So the answer is that the wavelength of the light must be shortened to cause the emission of electrones.

A hydrogen bond forms by the electrostatic interaction of opposite charges in two molecules. If
Darya [45]

The force between the molecules involved in the bond is 6. 426 *10^-11 Newton

<h3>How to determine the force</h3>

Using the formula:

F = K[q1 x q2]/D^2

where K is coulombs constant =9 *10 ^9 Nm^2/C^2.

q1  and q2 = charges  =  1.60x10 -20C

d = distance between the charges = 2x10 -10 m

Substitute the values into the formula

F =  9 * 10^9\frac{ 1.60*10^ -20 *  1.60 *10^ -20}{2x10^ -10^{2} }

F = 9 *10^9\frac{2. 856* 10^-40}{4* 10^-20}

F = 9* 10^9 * 7. 14* 10^-21

F = 6. 426 * 10^-11 Newton

Thus, the force between the molecules involved in the bond is 6. 426 *10^-11 Newton

A 3.0 kg object is loaded into a toy spring gun, and the spring has a spring constant 750N/m. The object compresses the spring b
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of object, m = 3 kg

spring constant, K = 750 n/m

compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m

angle of gun, θ = 30°

(a) As the ball is launched, it has some velocity due to the compression in the spring, so it has some kinetic energy.

(b) Let v be th evelocity of ball at the tim eof launch.

by using the conservation of energy

1/2 Kx² = 1/2 mv²

750 x 0.08 x 0.08 = 3 x v²

v = 1.265 m/s

By use of the formula of maximum height

h = \frac{v^{2}Sin^{2}\theta}{2g}

h = \frac{1.265^{2}Sin^{2}30}{2\times 9.8}

h = 0.02 m

h = 2 cm
