Define 1 unit electricity​

Physics
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A unit is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWh) of electricity.

Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = 5 nC and is at the origin. Charge q2 = - 3 nC and is at x = 4 cm. Charge
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Known data

q₃=5 nC

q₂=- 3 nC

d₁₃=  2 cm

d₂₃ = 4 cm

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So,  the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.  F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)

Calculation of q1

F₁₃ = F₂₃

\frac{k*q_{1}*q_3 }{(d_{13})^{2}  } = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_3 }{(d_{23})^{2}  }

We divide by (k * q3) on both sides of the equation

\frac{q_{1} }{(d_{13})^{2} } = \frac{q_{2} }{(d_{23})^{2} }

q_{1} = \frac{q_{2}*(d_{13})^{2}   }{(d_{23} )^{2}  }

q_{1} = \frac{5*(2)^{2} }{(4 )^{2}  }

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

A 48.0-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocit
Kipish [7]

Answer:

F = 47.6 N

Explanation:

  • Newton's 2nd law can be expressed as the rate of change of the total momentum, respect of time, as follows:

       F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

  • So, in order to find the average force exerted by the skater on the wall, we can find the change in momentum due to the force exerted by the wall (which is equal and opposite to the one exerted by the skater), and  divide it by the time interval , as follows:

       F_{wall} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{(48.0 kg*(-1.06m/s)}{1.07s} = -47.6 N

       ⇒ Fsk = 47.6 N (normal to the wall)

The following table lists the work functions of a few common metals, measured in electron volts. Metal Φ(eV) Cesium 1.9 Potassiu
Citrus2011 [14]

A. Lithium

The equation for the photoelectric effect is:

E=\phi + K

where

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incident light, with h being the Planck constant, c being the speed of light, and \lambda being the wavelength

\phi is the work function of the metal (the minimum energy needed to extract one photoelectron from the surface of the metal)

K is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron

In this problem, we have

\lambda=190 nm=1.9\cdot 10^{-7}m, so the energy of the incident light is

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.9\cdot 10^{-7} m}=1.05\cdot 10^{-18}J

Converting in electronvolts,

E=\frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-18}J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.5 eV

Since the electrons are emitted from the surface with a maximum kinetic energy of

K = 4.0 eV

The work function of this metal is

\phi = E-K=6.5 eV-4.0 eV=2.5 eV

So, the metal is Lithium.

B. cesium, potassium, sodium

The wavelength of green light is

\lambda=510 nm=5.1\cdot 10^{-7} m

So its energy is

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.1\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.9\cdot 10^{-19}J

Converting in electronvolts,

E=\frac{3.9\cdot 10^{-19}J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=2.4 eV

So, all the metals that have work function smaller than this value will be able to emit photoelectrons, so:

Cesium

Potassium

Sodium

C. 4.9 eV

In this case, we have

- Copper work function: \phi = 4.5 eV

- Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons: K = 2.7 eV

So, the energy of the incident light is

E=\phi+K=4.5 eV+2.7 eV=7.2 eV

Then the copper is replaced with sodium, which has work function of

\phi = 2.3 eV

So, if the same light shine on sodium, then the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons will be

K=E-\phi = 7.2 eV-2.3 eV=4.9 eV
