Answer:

The electric field can cause the electrons to move around. Through this influence on electrons, we can give a net direction to the motion of the electrons. This is how we generate an electric current

A conductor is an object that conducts electricity through it, the mechanism of conduction of electricity is that, the electrons present in the atoms of the conductor are in rapid motion, and when we apply some potential difference across it by using cell, battery or anything, it causes those electrons to move in a particular direction and we know electrons have negative charge on it which , so the movement of charge ( electrons ) through a conductor causes electric current.

So, from above we conclude that conduction of electric current through a conductor is only possible due to free electrons present in the conductor's atoms.

A ball is dropped from a building taking 3sec to fall to the ground. Calculate:

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) = 3 s
Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

Vf = g * t

Replace:

Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

$\boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}$

Replace:

$\boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}$

Multiply time squared:

$\boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}$

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

$\boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}$

It divides:

$\boxed{h=44.1\ m}$

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>

How high is the building?

The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a potassium surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 2.93 eV are emitted.

olchik [2.2K]

A) We want to find the work function of the potassium. Apply this equation:

E = 1243/λ - Φ

E = energy of photoelectron, λ = incoming light wavelength, Φ = potassium work function

Given values:

E = 2.93eV, λ = 240nm

Plug in and solve for Φ:

2.93 = 1243/240 - Φ

Φ = 2.25eV

B) We want to find the threshold wavelength, i.e. find the wavelength such that the energy E of the photoelectrons is 0eV. Plug in E = 0eV and Φ = 2.25eV and solve for the threshold wavelength λ:

E = 1243/λ - Φ

0 = 1243/λ - Φ

0 = 1243/λ - 2.25

λ = 552nm

C) We want to find the frequency associated with the threshold wavelength. Apply this equation:

c = fλ

c = speed of light in a vacuum, f = frequency, λ = wavelength

Given values:

c = 3×10⁸m/s, λ = 5.52×10⁻⁷m

Plug in and solve for f:

3×10⁸ = f(5.52×10⁻⁷)

f = 5.43×10¹⁴Hz

$^{4}_{2}}He$
The 4 signifies the atomic weight, and the 2 subscribes the element's atomic number(aka the number of protons in the atom).
