l plate and photoelectrons are emitted.
a. When the radiation intensity is increased, the number of photoelectrons emitted by the metal ___.
b. When all of the wavelengths in the radiation are increased by the same amount, the number of photoelectrons emitted by the metal ____.
c. When the work function of the metal is increased, the number of photoelectrons emitted by the metal ___.

Answer with Explanation:

a.Intensity of radiation is directly proportional to the frequency of radiation

When the intensity of radiation increases then the frequency of radiation increases and therefore, the number of photo-electrons emitted by the metal increases.

b.When all of the wavelength in the radiation are increased by the same amount

We know that

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

Frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

Therefore, the frequency decrease .

When the frequency decreases then the number of photo-electrons emitted by the metal decrease.

c.When the work function of the metal is increased then the gain of kinetic energy decreases .

When energy decreases then the number of photo-electrons emitted by the metal decreases.

Alchen [17]

You want the force/area ratio to be the same for both pistons to keep constant pressure. Since 1500/450=3.333, you will need to pick the two sets of dimensions such that (assuming the pistons are rectangular) the product of the pair of dimensions for the 1500 kg piston is 3.333 times the product of the pair of dimensions for the 450 kg piston.

Essam is abseiling down a steep cliff. How much gravitational potential energy does he lose for every metre he descends? His mas

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

720 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy that Essam loses for every metre is given by:

$\Delta U=mg \Delta h$

where

m=72 kg is Essam's mass

$g=10 N/kg$ is the gravitational field strength

$\Delta h=1 m$ is the difference in height

By substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

$\Delta U=(72 kg)(10 N/kg)(1 m)=720 J$

a stone is projected vertically up from the top of a tower 73.5m with velocity 24.5 m/s . find the time taken by the stone to re

hoa [83]

The stone's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity. The stone reaches the ground when $y=0$ :

$0=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=7.11\,\rm s$

Use scientific (exponential) notation to express the following quantities in terms of the SI base units in

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent. For example, the number $4.232(10)^{3}$ .

On the other hand, it is known the units in the SI for mass, length, time and temperature are kilogram (kg), meter (m), second (s) and Kelvin (K), respectively. In addition, thera are prefixes of the International System (SI) that indicate a specific factor of 10.

For example:

-Giga (G) is a prefix that indicates a factor of $10^{6}$

-Pico (p) is a prefix that indicates a factor of $10^{-12}$

-Mili (m) is a prefix that indicates a factor of $10^{-3}$

-Micro ( $\mu$ ) is a prefix that indicates a factor of $10^{-6}$

-Tera (T) is a prefix that indicates a factor of $10^{12}$

-Kilo (K) is a prefix that indicates a factor of $10^{3}$

Knowing this, let's express these quantities in terms of the SI base units:

$0.13 g=0.00013 kg=1.3 (10)^{-4}kg$

$232 Gg=232(10)^{6}g=232 (10)^{3}kg$

$5.23 pm=5.23(10)^{-12}m$

$86.3 mg=86.3(10)^{-3}g=8.63 (10)^{-5}kg$

$37.6 cm=0.376 m=3.76 (10)^{-1}m$

$54 \mu m=54 (10)^{-6}m$

$1 Ts=1 (10)^{-12}s$

$27 ps=27 (10)^{-12}s$

$0.15 mK=0.15(10)^{-3}K$

A granite monument has a volume of 25,365.4 cm3. The density of granite is 2.7 g/cm3. Use this information to calculate the mass

LiRa [457]

As density = mass/volume

So

Mass = density *volume

Mass = 25,365.4 * 2.7 = 68,486.58 g

<span>Mass of the granite monument to the nearest tenth = 68,485.6 g</span>
