Answer:

2.46 eV

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of light that fall on the metal = 3.56 eV

The stopping potential of the metal = 1.1 V

We need to find the work function of the metal. It is given by the relation as follows :

W = E-KE ...(1)

Where KE is the kinetic energy of the ejected electron and it is given by :

KE = V×e

= 1.1 eV

Put all the values in formula (1)

W = 3.56 eV - 1.1 eV

= 2.46 eV

Hence, the work function of the metal is 2.46 eV. Hence, the correct option is (c).

An automobile having a mass of 1,000 kg is driven into a brick wall in a safety test. The bumper behaves like a spring with cons
Nady [450]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy, specifically the potential elastic energy against the kinetic energy of the body.

By definition this could be described as

PE = KE

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

m = mass

v = Velocity

This point is basically telling us that all the energy in charge of compressing the spring is transformed into the energy that allows the 'impulse' seen in terms of body speed.

If we rearrange the equation to find v we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}

Our values are given as

m = 1000kg

k = 5.75*10^6N/m

x = 3.12*10^{-2}m

Replacing at our equation we have then,

v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{(5.75*10^6)(3.12*10^{-2})^2}{1000}}

v = 2.3658m/s

Therefore he speed of the car before impact, assuming no energy is lost in the collision with the wall is 2.37m/s

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i has its central axis parallel to a uniform ma
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Torque on the coil will be ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic moment of the closed current carrying coil is always along its axis and it is given as

M = N i A

now we know that magnetic field is also along the axis of the coil so here as we know the equation of torque given as

\tau = \vec M \times \vec B

so we have

\tau = M B sin0

\tau = 0

Two subway stops are separated by 1210 m. If a subway train accelerates at 1.30 m/s2 from rest through the first half of the dis
solong [7]

Answer:

Part 1) Time of travel equals 61 seconds

Part 2) Maximum speed equals 39.66 m/s.

Explanation:

The final speed of the train when it completes half of it's journey is given by third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final speed

'u' is initial speed

'a' is acceleration of the body

's' is the distance covered

Applying the given values we get

v^2=0+2\times 1.30\times \frac{1210}{2}\\\\v^{2}=1573\\\\\therefore v=39.66m/s

Now the time taken to attain the above velocity can be calculated by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at\\\\v=0+1.30\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{39.66}{1.30}=30.51seconds

Since the deceleration is same as acceleration hence the time to stop in the same distance shall be equal to the time taken to accelerate the first half of distance

Thus total time of journey equalsT=2\times 30.51\approx61seconds

Part b)

the maximum speed is reached at the point when the train ends it's acceleration thus the maximum speed reached by the train equals 39.66m/s
