The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.
In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.
Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.
By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:
13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C
Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons
Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.
B) a rock being tossed high into the air
Answer:
250 N
433 N
Explanation:
N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane
W = Weight of the block = 500 N
f = static frictional force acting on the block
Parallel to incline, force equation is given as
f = W Sin30
f = (500) Sin30
f = 250 N
Perpendicular to incline force equation is given
N = W Cos30
N = (500) Cos30
N = 433 N
