Asample of silver (with work function ? = 4.52 ev) is exposed to an ultraviolet light source (? = 200 nm), which results in the ejection of photoelectrons. what changes will be observed if: silver is replaced with copper (? = 5.10 ev) more photoelectrons ejected no photoelectrons are emitted fewer photoelectrons ejected more energetic photoelectrons (on average) less energetic photoelectrons (on average)

Hot air balloons float in the air because of the difference in density between cold and hot air. in this problem, you will estimate the minimum temperature the gas inside the balloon needs to be, for it to take off. to do this, use the following variables and make these assumptions: the combined weight of the pilot basket together with that of the balloon fabric and other equipment is w. the volume of the hot air inside the balloon when it is inflated is v. the absolute temperature of the hot air at the bottom of the balloon is th (where th> tc). the absolute temperature of the cold air outside the balloon is tc and its density is ďc. the balloon is open at the bottom, so that the pressure inside and outside the balloon is the same. as always, treat air as an ideal gas. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Mike and mitchell decide to have a foot race. they mark off a stretch of 100 yards, and recruit cindy to work the stopwatch. after running the race and looking at the results, cindy declared that mitchell was the fastest. so how did the boys times compare?
