<h2>Answer: The Photoelectric Effect</h2>

Light can be considered as a wave or as particles, in this context Einstein proposed that light behaves like a stream of particles called <u>photons</u> with an energy, in order to correctly explain the photoelectric effect.

This fenomenom consists in the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface <u>under certain conditions. </u>

So, if we consider light as 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 <u>kinetic energy</u>.

This means the photoelectric effect can only be explained based on the corpuscular model of light, that is, light is quantized.

Find the kinetic of a 0.1 kilogram toy truck moving at a speed of 1.1 meters per second
omeli [17]
KE = kinetic energy
PE = potential energy
GPE = gravitational potential energy
energy is always measured in Joules (J)

KE = (0.5) times the mass times the velocity^2
square the velocity first

Mass = (KE x 2) / v^2
square the velocity first, then double the kinetic energy, then divide
mass is measured in kg

velocity = sqrt(KE x 2 / m)
velocity can be called speed, like in the the second problem
remember to find the square root after you double the KE and divide that by the mass.
for example: if after you doubled KE and divided it by the mass you got sqrt(20), the answer would be about 4.47

GPE = mass x gravitational pull (about 9.8 m/s^2 on earth) x height

height = (PE) / (g x m)
do g x m first

So for question 1:
KE = (0.5)0.1 x 1.1^2
always square the velocity first:
KE = (0.5)0.1 x 1.21
KE = 0.0605
so if you rounded it to the nearest hundreths you would get KE = 0.06 J
don't forget the unit of energy is in Joules

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the ship (m) = 6.9 × 10⁷ kg

Speed of the ship (v) = 33 km/h

First, let us convert the speed from km/h to m/s using the conversion factor.

We know that, 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s

So, 33 km/h = 33\times \frac{5}{18}=9.17\ m/s

Now, we know, the momentum of an object only depends on its mass and speed. Momentum is independent of the length of the object.

So, here, length of the ship doesn't play any role in the determination of the momentum.

Magnitude of momentum of the ship = Mass × Speed

                                                             = (6.9\times 10^7\ kg)(9.17\ m/s)

                                                             = 6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of ship's momentum is 6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s.

Recall that the differential equation for the instantaneous charge q(t) on the capacitor in an lrc-series circuit is l d 2q dt 2
Aloiza [94]
DE which is the differential equation represents the LRC series circuit where
L d²q/dt² + Rdq/dt +I/Cq = E(t) = 150V.
Initial condition is q(t) = 0 and i(0) =0.
To find the charge q(t)  by using Laplace transformation by
Substituting known values for DE
L×d²q/dt² +20 ×dq/dt + 1/0.005× q = 150
d²q/dt² +20dq/dt + 200q =150
