Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of bumper car, m₁ = 202 kg
Initial speed of the bumper car, u₁ = 8.5 m/s
Mass of the other car, m₂ = 355 kg
Initial velocity of the other car is 0 as it at rest, u₂ = 0
Final velocity of the other car after collision, v₂ = 5.8 m/s
Let p₁ is momentum of of 202 kg car, p₁ = m₁v₁
Using the conservation of linear momentum as :
p₁ = m₁v₁ = -342 kg-m/s
So, the momentum of the 202 kg car afterwards is 342 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
The photoelectric effect consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.
If the light is a stream of photons and each of them has energy, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy.
<u>This is what Einstein proposed: </u>
Light behaves like a stream of particles called photons with an energy :
(1)
So, the energy of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the Work function
of the metal and the kinetic energy
of the photoelectron:
(2)
Where is the minimum amount of energy required to induce the photoemission of electrons from the surface of Titanium metal.
Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:
<h3 /><h3>a) Maximum possible kinetic energy of the emitted electrons (From (1) we can know the energy of one photon of 233 nm light:
Where:
is the Planck constant
is the wavelength
is the speed of light
(3)
(4) This is the energy of one 233 nm photon
Substituting (4) in (2):
(5)
Finding :
(5) This is the maximum possible kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
Since one photon of 233 nm is able to free at most one electron from the Titanium metal, we can calculate the following relation:
Where is the energy of the burst of light
Hence:
This is the maximum number of electrons that can be freed by the burst of light.
