Physics

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.

Which of these is the best explaination for why two negatively charged balloons move apart without ever touching?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hello, sorry this is a little late!

I believe the correct answer to your question would be option D, <span>electric charges have electric fields surrounding them to allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.

I just took this test, and can 100% confirm this is the proper answer.

Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)</span>

Nata [24]
Formula for potential energy is V=mgh, where m is mass in KG, g is earth acceleration (10 m/s^2), and h its height in meters. We know mass, acceleration is constant and also known, we know height also. Lets substitute
V=75*10*300=225000[J]=225[kJ] - its the answer

zavuch27 [327]
'  +4 m/s² ' means that the pigeon's speed is  4 m/s greater every second.

Starting from zero speed, after 10 seconds, its speed is 

                           (10 x 4m/s)  =  40 m/s.

We can't say anything about its velocity, because we have
no information regarding the direction of its flight.
