Answer: A

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was first proposed by Einstein. He claimed that when a light wave comes in contact with an electron, it has the ability to strip that electron from its atom. It depends on how much energy the light wave is carrying, and what type of atom the light is hitting. We use the photoelectric effect in garage motion sensors.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

$a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}$

$t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s$

Check

$t_{2}=8s$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}$

$x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16$

Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency

Harman [31]

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.

A cylindrical rod of copper (E = 110 GPa, 16 × 106 psi) having a yield strength of 240 MPa (35,000 psi) is to be subjected to a

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

d= 7.32 mm

Explanation:

Given that

E= 110 GPa

σ = 240 MPa

P= 6640 N

L= 370 mm

ΔL = 0.53

Area A= πr²

We know that elongation due to load given as

$\Delta L=\dfrac{PL}{AE}$

$A=\dfrac{PL}{\Delta LE}$

$A=\dfrac{6640\times 370}{0.53\times 110\times 10^3}$

A= 42.14 mm²

πr² = 42.14 mm²

r=3.66 mm

diameter ,d= 2r

d= 7.32 mm
