Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons

A 5.75 × 107 kg battle ship originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 550 m/s. show ans

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

-0.01052 m/s

Explanation:

M = mass of ship = $5.75\times 10^7\ kg$

m = mass of shell = 1100 kg

v = velocity of shell = 550 m/s

u = recoil velocity of ship

As linear momentum is conserved

$(M - m)u=-mv\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{mv}{M - m}\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{1100\times 550}{5.75\times 10^7+1100}\\\Rightarrow u=-0.01052\ m/s$

The recoil velocity of the ship taking the firing direction to be the positive direction is -0.01052 m/s

A ball is thrown vertically downward at 10 m/s. what is it’s speed 1s and 2s later

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

20 m/s

30 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = -10 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

When t = 1 s:

v = v₀ + at

v = (-10 m/s) + (-9.8 m/s²) (1 s)

v = -19.8 m/s

When t = 2 s:

v = v₀ + at

v = (-10 m/s) + (-9.8 m/s²) (2 s)

v = -29.6 m/s

Rounded to one significant figures, the speed of the ball at 1 s and 2 s is 20 m/s and 30 m/s, respectively.
