When the tube is filled with mercury vapor, as in this case, a sharp drop in the collected current is observed when the accelerating potential reaches 4.9 v. the current drops suddenly to a negligible value and slowly increases again when the accelerating potential is above 4.9 v. what is the energy e absorbed by the atomic electrons in the mercury atom when the accelerating potential is 4.9 v?

Ahorizontal wire is tied to supports at each end and vibrates in its second-overtone standing wave. the tension in the wire is 5.00 n, and the node-to-node distance in the standing wave is 6.28 cm. (a) what is the length of the wire? (b) a point at an anti- node of the standing wave on the wire travels from its maximum upward displacement to its maximum downward displacement in 8.40 ms. what is the wire's mass?

Ablock of steel has a density of 0.29lbs per cubic inch. if the block has dimensions of 1 inch by 1 inch by 3 inches, what is its weight? a. 0.29lbs b. 0.58lbs c. 0.87lbs d. 1lbs

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)
