Answer:

Explanation:

Kepler 's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks.

Answer:

Kepler's First Law: each planet's orbit about the Sun is an ellipse. The Sun's center is always located at one focus of the orbital ellipse. The Sun is at one focus. The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, meaning that the planet to Sun distance is constantly changing as the planet goes around its orbit.

The maximum wavelength an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject an electron from a copper surface is 264 nm .What is the

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

4.71 eV

Explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave with wavelength

$\lambda=264 nm = 2.64\cdot 10^{-7} m$

the energy of the photons in the wave is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2.64\cdot 10^{-7}m}=7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J$

where h is the Planck constant and c the speed of light. Therefore, this is the minimum energy that a photon should have in order to extract a photoelectron from the copper surface.

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy required by the incident light in order to extract photoelectrons from the metal's surface. Therefore, the work function corresponds to the energy we found previously. By converting it into electronvolts, we find:

$E=\frac{7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=4.71 eV$

The focal length of a lens is inversely proportional to the quantity (n-1), where n is the index of refraction of the lens of th

Ainat [17]

Answer:

46.22 cm

Explanation:

The focal refraction, fr is given by

$fr = \frac {c}{(1.572 -1)} = \frac {c}{0 .572}$

The focal red light is given by

$fv = \frac {c}{(1.605 - 1)} = \frac {c}{0.605}$

$\frac {fv}{fr} = \frac {0.572}{0 .605} = 0.945455$

$\frac {1}{fr} = \frac{1}{image} + \frac {1}{object}$ and making fr the subject we obtain

$fr = \frac {image * object}{(image + object)} = \frac {24.00 * 55} {(24.0 + 55)} = 16.70886 cm$

fv = 0.945455* 16.70886 cm = 15.79747 cm

$image = \frac {object * f} {(object - f)} = \frac {15.79747 * 24.0}{(24.0 - 15.79747)} = 46.22222 cm$

Therefore, violet image is approximately 46.22 cm

4 NaF + Br2 + Al(H3Li)2 -->

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Molecules are substances that contain two or more elements, if these elements are different, then the substance is also a compound.

However, considering only the definition of a molecule, it is evident that both CH4 and NaF are molecules as they contain more than one element.

a car accelerates from rest to a velocity of 5meters/second in 4 seconds. what is its average acceleration over this period of t

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (5 m/s − 0 m/s) / 4 s

a = 1.25 m/s²

Which of the following correctly describes magnetic poles.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The magnetic poles are the places on the earth's surface where the magnetic field force is acting perpendicularly to the surface. The North magnetic pole is where the field is acting straight down; at the South magnetic pole, it is acting straight up.
