Answer:

The displacement is  \Delta H =    -  1 \ m

The distance  is  D =  4 \  m

Explanation:

From  the question we are told that

    The height from which the ball is dropped is  h  =  1 \ m

    The height attained at  the first bounce is  h_1  = 0.8  \  m

    The height attained at  the second bounce is   h_2 = 0.5 \  m

    The height attained at  the third bounce is h_3 = 0.2 \  m

Note  : When calculating displacement we consider the direction of motion

Generally given that upward is positive  the total displacement of the ball is mathematically represented as

            \Delta H =  (0  -  h ) + ( h_1 - h_1 ) + (h_2 - h_2 )+ (h_3 - h_3)

Here the 0 show that there was no bounce back to the point where Billy released the ball  

           \Delta H =  (0  -  1 ) + ( 0.8- 0.8 ) + (0.5 - 0.5 )+ (0.2 - 0.2)

=>          \Delta H =    -  1 \ m

Generally the distance covered by the ball is mathematically represented as  

                D =  h +  2h_2 + 2h_3 + 2h_3

The 2 shows that the ball traveled the height two times

              D =  1 +  2* 0.8  + 2* 0.5 + 2* 0.2

=>           D =  4 \  m

During the time that the blocks are in contact, describe whether the center of mass of the two-block system is speeding up, slow
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The center of mass of the two-block system is staying the same and it can be explained with the help of linear momentum equation.

Explanation:

The center of mass of the two-block system is staying the same and it can be explained with the help of linear momentum equation.

Equation:

P=mv

This equation holds if no external force is acting on the system it means the momentum of the system is constant.

In our case, there is no external force which means the total momentum of system is constant:

P=constant

Total mass of system is also constant:

m=constant

It means the velocity of the system is constant (from above equation) thus center of mass of the two-block system is staying the same

If light of wavelength 700 nm strikes such a photocathode, what will be the maximum kinetic energy, in eV , of the emitted elect
Oksana_A [137]

If the light of wavelength 700 nm strikes such a photocathode the maximum kinetic energy, in eV, of the emitted electrons is 0.558 eV.

so - $KE_{max} = hc/lembda}  work

threshold when KE = 0

hc/lambda = work = 1240/900=1.38 eV

b) Kemax = hc/lambda - work = 1240/640 -1.38=0.558 eV

What is photocathode?

  • A photocathode electrolyte interface can be used in a photoelectrolysis cell as the primary light-harvesting junction (in conjunction with an appropriate electrochemical anode) or as an optically complementary photoactive half-cell in a tandem photoelectrode photoelectrolysis cell (Hamnett, 1982; Kocha et al, 1994).
  • In the case of the former, the electrode should ideally harvest photon energy across the majority of the solar spectrum in order to achieve the highest energy conversion efficiency possible.
  • In the latter case, however, the photocathode may only be active in a specific band of the solar spectrum in order to generate a cathodic photocurrent sufficient to match the current generated in the photoanodic half-cell.

Someone please help. Describe how electric potential energy, kinetic energy, and work change when two charges of opposite sign a
erik [133]

Answer:

The answer is based on the conservation of energy law; something you should really understand by now.  

For convenience we can hold one of the two charges still; it becomes the frame of reference. And everything we say is in reference to the designated static charge, call it Q.  

So the moving charge, call it q, has total energy TE = PE. It's all potential energy as we start with q not moving.  

It has potential energy because in order to separate q from Q, we had to do work, add energy, on q. And from the COE law, that work added is converted into PE.  

It's a bit like lifting something off the ground. That's work and it becomes GPE. So there's some work, in separating the two charges in the first place.  

But there's more.  

Now we let q go. As opposites attract, q is pulled to Q. And that force from Q is working on q, force over distance. Which means the potential energy q started with is being converted into kinetic energy. q is accelerating and picking up speed.  

And there's more work, done by the EMF on charge q. That converts the PE into KE and the q charge smashes into Q with some kinetic energy.

padilas [110]

Answer:

4) Driving in a straight line at 60 miles per hour

Explanation:

1) Driving 60 miles per hour around a curve

2) Going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 10 seconds

3) Slamming on the brakes to come to a stop at a stop sign

4) Driving in a straight line at 60 miles per hour

1) The speed is constant here, but in circular motion you have an acceleration that is v^2/r, where v is the speed and r the radius

2) You are accelerating from 0 to 60

3) You are desaccelerating

4) constant speed , no acceleration
