It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated
by the sun. The reason why the moon
changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some
areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.
To answer the two questions, we need to know two important equations involving centripetal movement:
v = ωr (ω represents angular velocity <u>in radians</u>)
a = 
Let's apply the first equation to question a:
v = ωr
v = ((1800*2π) / 60) * 0.26
Wait. 2π? 0.26? 60? Let's break down why these numbers are written differently. In order to use the equation v = ωr, it is important that the units of ω is in radians. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can easily do the conversion from revolutions to radians by multiplying it by 2π. As for 0.26, note that the question asks for the units to be m/s. Since we need meters, we simply convert 26 cm, our radius, into meters. The revolutions is also given in revs/min, and we need to convert it into revs/sec so that we can get our final units correct. As a result, we divide the rate by 60 to convert minutes into seconds.
Back to the equation:
v = ((1800*2π)/60) * 0.26
v = (1800*2(3.14)/60) * 0.26
v = (11304/60) * 0.26
v = 188.4 * 0.26
v = 48.984
v = 49 (m/s)
Now that we know the linear velocity, we can find the centripetal acceleration:
a = 
a = 
a = 9234.6 (m/
)
Wow! That's fast!
<u>We now have our answers for a and b:</u>
a. 49 (m/s)
b. 9.2 *
(m/
)
If you have any questions on how I got to these answers, just ask!

A=F/m
a=(3000000)/(20000)
a=15 m/s^2
Answer:
B. Maximum velocity of ejected electrons.
Explanation:
The ejection of electrons form a metal surface when the metal surface is exposed to a monochromatic electromagnetic wave of sufficiently short wavelength or higher frequency (or equivalently, above a threshold frequency), which leads to the enough energy of the wave to incident and get absorbed to the exposed surface emits electrons. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect or photo-emission.
The minimum amount of energy required by a metal surface to eject an electron from its surface is called work function of metal surface.
The electrons thus emitted are called photo-electrons.
The current produced as a result is called photo electricity.
Energy of photon is given by:

where:
h = Planck's constant
frequency of the incident radiation.
