Answer: The angle of inclination is nearly 30°

Explanation:

For a body on an inclined plane, the coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is equal to the ratio of the moving force applied to the body to the frictional force acting on the body.

If uK coefficient of friction;

Fm is the moving force

R is the normal reaction on the body

Mathematically uK = Fm/R

Fm = WSin(theta)

R = Wcos(theta)

uK = Wsin(theta)/Wcos(theta)

uK = tan(theta)

theta = arctan(uK)

If uK is 0.58

theta = arctan0.58

theta = 30°

The angle of the inclined will be 30°

A photoelectric effect experiment finds a stopping potential of 1.93 V when light of wavelength 200 nm is used to illuminate the
GenaCL600 [577]

a) Zinc (work function: 4.3 eV)

The equation for the photoelectric effect is:

E=\phi + K (1)

where

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incident photon, with

h = Planck constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength

\phi = work function of the metal

K = maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted

The stopping potential (V) is the potential needed to stop the photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energy: so, the corresponding electric potential energy must be equal to the maximum kinetic energy,

eV=K

So we can rewrite (1) as

E=\phi + eV

where we have:

\lambda=200 nm = 2\cdot 10^{-7} m

V = 1.93 V

e is the electron charge

First of all, let's find the energy of the incident photon:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2\cdot 10^{-7}m}=9.95\cdot 10^{-19} J

Converting into electronvolts,

E=\frac{9.95\cdot 10^{-19}J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.22 eV

And now we can solve eq.(1) to find the work function of the metal:

\phi = E-eV=6.22 eV-1.93 eV=4.29 eV

so, the metal is most likely zinc, which has a work function of 4.3 eV.

b) The stopping potential is still 1.93 V

Explanation:

The intensity of the incident light is proportional to the number of photons hitting the surface of the metal. However, the energy of the photons depends only on their frequency, so it does not depend on the intensity of the light. This means that the term E in eq.(1) does not change.

Moreover, the work function of the metal is also constant, since it depends only on the properties of the material: so \phi is also constant in the equation. As a result, the term (eV) must also be constant, and therefore V, the stopping potential, is constant as well.

A jewellery melts 500g of Silver to pour into a mould. Calculate how much energy was released as the silver solidified.
irga5000 [103]

When silver is poured into the mould the it will solidify

In this process the phase of the Silver block will change from liquid to solid.

This phase change will lead to release in heat and this heat is known as latent heat of fusion.

The formula to find the latent heat of fusion is given as

Q = mL

here given that

m = mass = 500 g

L = 111 kJ/kg

now we can find the heat released

Q = 0.5 * 111 kJ

Q = 55.5 kJ

So it will release total heat of 55.5 kJ when it will solidify
