<u>Given that</u>

mass (m) = 1300 Kg ,

height (h) = 1500 m

Determine the potential energy ?

     P.E = m × g × h

           = 1300 × 9.81 × 1500

           = 19129500  Joules

           = 19129.5 KJ

Answer:

a) W=2.425kJ

b) \Delta E=2.425kJ

c) T_f=20.06^{o}C

d) Q=-2.425kJ

Explanation:

a)

First of all, we need to do a drawing of what the system looks like, this will help us visualize the problem better and take the best possible approach. (see attached picture)

The problem states that this will be an ideal system. This is, there will be no friction loss and all the work done by the object is transferred to the water. Therefore, we need to calculate the work done by the object when falling those 10m. Work done is calculated by using the following formula:

W=Fd

Where:

W=work done [J]

F= force applied [N]

d= distance [m]

In this case since it will be a vertical movement, the force is calculated like this:

F=mg

and the distance will be the height

d=h

so the formula gets the following shape:

W=mgh

so now e can substitute:

W=(25kg)(9.7 m/s^{2})(10m)

which yields:

W=2.425kJ

b) Since all the work is tansferred to the water, then the increase in internal energy will be the same as the work done by the object, so:

\Delta E=2.425kJ

c) In order to find the final temperature of the water after all the energy has been transferred we can make use of the following formula:

\Delta Q=mC_{p}(T_{f}-T_{0})

Where:

Q= heat transferred

m=mass

C_{p}=specific heat

T_{f}= Final temperature.

T_{0}= initial temperature.

So we can solve the forula for the final temperature so we get:

T_{f}=\frac{\Delta Q}{mC_{p}}+T_{0}

So now we can substitute the data we know:

T_{f}=\frac{2 425J}{(10000g)(4.1813\frac{J}{g-C})}+20^{o}C

Which yields:

T_{f}=20.06^{o}C

d)

For part d, we know that the amount of heat to be removed for the water to reach its original temperature is the same amount of energy you inputed with the difference that since the energy is being removed this means that it will be negative.

\Delta Q=-2.425kJ

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) 447.21m

b) -62.99 m/s

c)94.17 m/s

Explanation:

This situation we can divide in 2 parts:

⇒ Vertical : y =-200 m

y =1/2 at²

-200 = 1/2 *(-9.81)*t²

t= 6.388766 s

⇒Horizontal: Vx = Δx/Δt

Δx = 70 * 6.388766 = 447.21 m

b) ⇒ Horizontal

Vx = Δx/Δt ⇒ 70 = 400 /Δt

Δt= 5.7142857 s

⇒ Vertical:

y = v0t + 1/2 at²

-200 = v(5.7142857) + 1/2 *(-9.81) * 5.7142857²

v0= -7 m/s  ⇒ it's negative because it goes down.

v= v0 +at

v= -7 + (-9.81) * 5.7142857

v= -62.99 m/s

c) √(70² + 62.99²) = 94.17 m/s

An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir
Natalija [7]

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.
