-- The train starts at 23 m/s and slows down by 0.25 m/s every second.

So it'll take (23/0.25) = 92 seconds to stop.

-- Its average speed during that time will be (1/2)(23+0) = 11.5 m/s

-- Moving at an average speed of 11.5 m/s for 92 sec, the train will cover

(11.5 m/s) x (92 sec) = 1,058 meters .

Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: $v_{rms} =$ 273m/s

Explanation: Root Mean Square Speed of an atom or molecule is the speed of a particle in a gas. It is the average speed a particle in a gas can have.

It can be calculated:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{3}{2} k_{B}T$
