Answer:

the photons (quanta of light) collide with the electrons, these electrons have to overcome the threshold energy that is the energy of union with the metal, and the energy that remains is converted to kinetic energy.

          K = E - Ф

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from the surface of a metal.

This was correctly explained by Einstein, in his explanation the energy of the photons (quanta of light) collide with the electrons, these electrons have to overcome the threshold energy that is the energy of union with the metal, and the energy that remains is converted to kinetic energy.

          E = hf

          E = K + Ф

          K = E - Ф

The energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation E = hf and according to Einstein the number of joints must be added

            E = n hf

Therefore, depending on the value of this energy, the emitted electrons can have energy from zero onwards.

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position is given by

df = do + vo t - 1/2 a t^2      df = final position = 0 (on the ground)

                                           do =original position = 2 m

                                            vo = original <u>VERTICAL</u> velocity = 0

                                            a = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

THIS BECOMES

0 = 2 + 0 * t  - 1/2 ( 9.81)t^2

  to show t =<u> .639 seconds to hit the ground </u>

During this .639 seconds it flies horizontally at 10 m/s for a distance of

      10 m/s * .639 s =<u> 6.39 m </u>

2 objects have a total momentum of 400kg m/s, they collide. Object A’s mass is5kg &amp; object B’s mass is 11kg. After the colli
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .

Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s

Momentum after collision = 5  x v + 11 x 15

where v is velocity of A after the collision .

5  x v + 11 x 15 = 400

5 v = 400 - 165

5v = 235

v = 47 m /s .

A solution is oversaturated with solute. which could be done to decrease the oversaturation?
Grace [21]
<span>A solution is oversaturated with solute. The thing that could be done to decrease the oversaturation is to add more solvent in order to decrease the concentration of the solute. You can also increase the temperature to increase solubility of the solute. Hope this answers the question.</span>
