Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

$80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)$

$80=5(50-x)$

$80=250-5x$

$5x=170$

$x=\frac{170}{5}$

$x=34 cm$

The Lyman series comprises a set of spectral lines. All of these lines involve a hydrogen atom whose electron undergoes a change

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})$

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m$

(b)

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m$

(c)

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m$

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.

Two blocks, 1 and 2, are connected by a rope R1 of negligible mass. A second rope R2, also of negligible mass, is tied to block

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two block are connected by rope $R_1$

$R_2$ rope is attached to block 2

suppose $F_2$ is a force applied to Rope $R_2$

Applied force $F_2$ =Tension in Rope 2

$F_2=(m_1+m_2)a---1$

where a=acceleration of system

Tension in rope $R_1$ is denoted by $F_1$

$F_1=m_1a---2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{(m_1+m_2)a}{m_1a}$

also $m_1=2.11\cdot m_2$

$\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{2.11m_2+m_2}{2.11m_2}$

$\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{3.11}{2.11}$

$\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{2.11}{3.11}$

4.A photon of green light strikes an unknown metal and an electron is emitted. The voltage is set to 2 volts. The electron canno

Anarel [89]

4) The correct answer is:
<span>B. An electron will be emitted in the second experiment, but it cannot be determined whether it will reach the second plate.

In fact, violet light has higher frequency than green light. This means that photons of violet light carry more energy than photons of green light (remember that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency: </span> $E=hf$ )<span>, so when they hit the surface of the metal, more energy is transferred to the electrons. The electron was already emitted with green light, so it must be emitted also with violet light, given the more energy transferred. The electron will also have more kinetic energy when hit by violet light, however, we cannot determine if it will reach the second plate, since we don't know how much energy has been used to extract the electron from the metal (in fact, we don't know the work function of the metal, i.e. the energy needed to extract the electron)

3) The correct answer is
</span><span>A. Violet light will cause electrons to be emitted at greater velocities than those removed by green light.

In fact, </span>violet light has higher frequency than green light. This means that photons of violet light carry more energy than photons of green light (remember that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency: $E=hf$ ), so when they hit the surface of the metal, more energy is transferred to the electrons. Therefore, the emitted electrons will have on average greater energy (and so, greater velocity) than those removed by green light.

Calculate the force of Earth’s gravity on a spacecraft 2.00 Earth radii above the Earth’s surface (That would be 3.00 Earth radi

igomit [66]

Answer:

2014.44 N

Explanation:

mass of spacecraft, m = 1850 kg

distance r = 3 x R

where r be the radius of earth.

g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and g' be the acceleration due to gravity at height

$\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{r} \right )^{2}$

$\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{3R} \right )^{2}$

g' = g / 9

g' = 9.8 / 9 = 1.089 m/s²

Force of gravity on the space craft

F = m g' = 1850 x 1.089

F = 2014.44 N

Thus, the force of gravity on the space craft at height is 2014.44 N.
