An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir

cuit that "clicks" in response to current. The faster the current, the more clicks per minute. In this experiment, the number of clicks in one minute is recorded for each color of light shining on the photocell. To change the color of light, a different color of cellophane is placed over the same flashlight and the flashlight is then located a specific distance from the photocell. Which of the following would be the best hypothesis for this experiment? Red light will activate the photocell to the highest degree. If photoelectric cells respond better to short wavelengths of light, the red light should activate it the least and blue the most. Photoelectric cells are affected by different wavelengths of light.

A photoelectric cell is an electronic device which is used to convert light energy into electric energy.The operation of this device is based on photoelectric effect.

Light of suitable frequency i.e greater or equal to threshold frequency will fall on the cathode maintained at negative potential.The electron emission will take place and these electrons are drifted towards the anode which is at positive potential.

Here,only those radiations will be capable of emitting electrons irrespective of surface barrier of metals whose energy is greater than the work function.

We know that the radiation having long wavelength has least energy as energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Mathematically\ energy\ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Here h is the Planck's constant,c is the velocity of light.

Here we have been given red light and blue light.

In the visible spectrum of radiation, the red light has longer wavelength than all other colors of light.Hence blue light has more energy as it's wavelength is less as compared to red light.

Hence, the blue light will activate the most and red the least.

A block with mass m = 0.450 kg is attached to one end of an ideal spring and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oth
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

k = 26.25 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block= 0.450

distance of the block = + 0.240

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = + 4 m/s

spring force constant (k) = ?

we know,

x = A cos (ωt - ∅).....(1)

v = - ω A cos (ωt - ∅)....(2)

a = ω²A cos (ωt - ∅).........(3)

\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

now from equation (3)

a_x = \dfrac{k}{m}x

k = \dfrac{m a_x}{x}

k = \dfrac{0.45 \times (-14)}{0.24}

k = 26.25 N/m

hence, spring force constant is equal to k = 26.25 N/m

A child is riding a bike at a speed of 6m/s with a total kinetic energy of 1224J. If the mass of the child is 30kg, what is the
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

 Mass of bike = 38 kg.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by the expression, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Here speed of child riding bike = 6 m/s

Mass of child = 30 kg

Total kinetic energy = 1224 J

Let the mass of bike be, m kg

So, total mass of child and bike = (m + 30) kg

Substituting,

  1224 = \frac{1}{2}* (m+30)*6^2\\ \\ m+30=68\\ \\ m=38kg

So, mass of bike = 38 kg.

What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (enter your magnitude to at least one decimal
murzikaleks [220]
Details are missing in the question. Complete text of the problem:

"The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.28 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 16.5 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 181 ms. The ball starts from rest.

(a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (m)
(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (Enter your magnitude to at least one decimal place.)"


Solution

(a) The pitcher accelerates the baseball from rest to a final velocity of v_f = 16.5 m/s, so \Delta v=16.5 m/s, in a time interval of \Delta t = 181 ms=0.181 s. The acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction (x-axis) is therefore

a_x =  \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}= \frac{16.5 m/s}{0.181 s}=91.2 m/s^2

And the distance covered by the ball during this time interval, before it is released, is:

S= \frac{1}{2} a_x (\Delta t)^2 = \frac{1}{2} (91.2 m/s^2)(0.181 s)^2=1.49 m

(b) For this part we need to consider also the weight of the ball, which is W=mg=2.28 N

From this, we find its mass: m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{2.28 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=0.23 Kg

Now we can calculate the magnitude of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball. On the x-axis, we have

F_x = m a_x = (0.23 kg)(91.2 m/s^2)=20.98 N

We also know that the ball is moving straight horizontally. This means that the vertical component of the force exerted by the pitcher must counterbalance the weight of the ball (acting downward), in order to have a net force of zero along the y-axis, and so:

F_y=W=mg=2.28 N (upward)

So, the magnitude of the force is

F= \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=  \sqrt{(20.98N)^2+(2.28N)^2}=21.2 N

To find the direction, we should find the angle of F with respect to the horizontal. This is given by

\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x}= \frac{2.28 N}{20.98 N}=0.11

From which we find \alpha=6.2^{\circ}

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104 km/s .What is this speed in miles per hour ?
sweet [91]

Answer:

232.641374 mph

Explanation:

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104km/s

Let X represent the speed in miles per hour

Therefore the speed in miles per hour can be calculated as follows

1 km/s = 2,236.936292 mph

0.104km/s = X

X = 0.104 × 2,236.936292

X = 232.641374

Hence the speed in miles per hour is 232.641374 mph

-Dominant- [34]
<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>
