What is photoelectric effect​

Physics

{\underbrace{\sf{PHOTO-ELECTRIC~EFFECT  }}}

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in which electrons are ejected from the surface of a metal when light is incident on it. These ejected electrons are called photoelectrons. It is important to note that the emission of photoelectrons and the kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is dependent on the frequency of the light that is incident on the metal’s surface.

Answer:

Photoelectric effect is the phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation. The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from a metal plate when light falls on it.

Transferring messages from a motor neuron to an arm muscle requires the neurotransmitter known as: (2 points)
max2010maxim [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Acetylcholine

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A neuron is a specialized cell of the nervous system that is responsible for the transmission of nervous signals in the body.
  • A motor neuron is one of the three major types of neurons, others being sensory neuron and relay neuron.
  • A motor neuron is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses from the CNS to the effector organs, such as muscles and glands.
  • Transmission of nerve impulses through the motor neuron to the muscles requires a chemical messenger known as acetylcholine, which is associated with movements among other activities.

if a spring stores 5j of energy when it is compressed by0.5m,what is the spring constant of the spring?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

K = 40N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke’s law

Energy = 1/2 kx^2

K is the spring constant

x = displacement

From the question

Energy =5J

x = 0.5m

K = ?

Using the above formula,

We have

5 = 1/2 x k x (0.5)^2

5 = 1/2 x k x (0.5 x 0.5)

5 = 1/2 x k x 0.25

5 = 0.25k/ 2

Cross multiply

5 x 2 = 0.25k

10 = 0.25k

Divide both sides by 0.25 to get k

10/0.25 = 0.25k/ 0.25

40 = k

K = 40N/m

(a) Find the magnitude of an earthquake that has an intensity that is 37.25 (that is, the amplitude of the seismograph reading i
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of an earthquake is 5.6.

Explanation:

The magnitude of an earthquake can be found as follows:

M = log(\frac{I}{S})

Where:

I: is the intensity of the earthquake = 37.25 cm

S: is the intensity of a standard earthquake = 10⁻⁴ cm

Hence, the magnitude is:

M = log(\frac{I}{S}) = log(\frac{37.25}{10^{-4}}) = 5.6

Therefore, the magnitude of an earthquake is 5.6.

I hope it helps you!

HELP WKDUXHWOSUSG PLSSSS
dmitriy555 [2]

Hi!

givens: initial velocity = 0 m/s

time = 8.5 s

acceleration = 10 m/s^2

Unknown: displacement, velocity final

Equation:

Displacement = 1/2 (at^2) + viT

SS:

Displacement = 1/2 (10 * 8.5^2) + 0

Displacement = 361.25 m in a positive direction.

My math might be a little off, but I'm not sure...

But yeah! Hope this helped :)

Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.205 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.720 m/s. It runs into another clay
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Final velocity, v = 0.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the model, m_1=0.205\ kg

Speed of the model, u_1=0.72\ m/s

Mass of another model, m_2=0.32\ kg

Initial speed of another model, u_2=0

To find,

Final velocity

Solution,

Let V is the final velocity. As both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{0.205\times 0.72+0.32\times 0}{(0.205+0.32)}

V = 0.28 m/s

So, their final velocity is 0.28 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
