To determine

(a)

The reason that the graph of figure 38.3 are mostly horizontal for ΔV>0.

Introduction: The emission of electrons from a substance due to striking of light on the surface known as photoelectric effect. The emitted electrons are called photoelectron. In the photoelectric effect electron is ejected from the cathode plate of the tube.

To determine

(b)

The reason that the emitted photoelectrons from the cathode have wide range of kinetic energy instead of having sane kinetic energy.

(b)

The reason that the stopping potential Vstop indicates the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons.

A 3.5-kg block is pushed 2.9 m up a vertical wall with constant speed by a constant force of magnitude F applied at an angle of 0 = 30° with the horizontal, as shown in the figure below. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and wall is 0.30, determine the following. (a) the work done by F J (b) the work done by the force of gravity ] (c) the work done by the normal force between block and wall J (d) By how much does the gravitational potential energy increase during the block's motion? ]
Physics different from a sea breeze from a land breeze
File Preview Design a capacitor for a special purpose. After graduating from medical school you and a friend take a three hour cruise to celebrate and end up stranded on an island. While looking for food, a spider falls on your friend giving them a heart attack. Recalling your physics, you realize you can build a make-shift defibrillator by constructing a capacitor from materials on the boat and charging it using the boat's battery. You know that the capacitor must hold 100 J of energy and be at 1000 V (fortunately this is an electric boat which has batteries that are 1000 V) to work. You decide to construct the capacitor by tightly sandwiching a single layer of Saran wrap between sheets of aluminum foil. You read the Saran wrap box and fortunately they tell you that it has a thickness 0.01 mm and dielectric constant of 2.3. The Saran wrap and foil are 40 cm wide and very long. How long is the final capacitor you build that saves your friend?
