When light of wavelength 345 nm falls on a potassium surface, electrons are emitted that have a maximum kinetic energy of 1.67 ev. what is the work function of potassium? the speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s and planck’s constant is 6.63 × 10−34 j · s.

An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars is higher than that of women drivers. the company took a random sample of 27 cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. another sample of 18 cars driven by women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. assume that the speeds at which all men and all women drive cars on this highway are both approximately normally distributed with unknown and unequal population standard deviations.

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. however, since speed is not a it does not require a(n question 6 options: a) quantity , unit b) magnitude, unit c) scalar, direction d) vector, direction
