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 VV. The current drops suddenly to a negligible value and slowly increases again when the accelerating potential is above 4.9 VV. What is the energy EEE absorbed by the atomic electrons in the mercury atom when the accelerating potential is 4.9 VV

The rocket is fired vertically and tracked by the radar station shown. when θ reaches 66°, other corresponding measurements give the values r = 32700 ft, r¨ = 85 ft/sec2, and θ˙ = 0.019 rad/sec. calculate the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of the rocket at this position.

Which of the following situations is impossible? a) an object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed east. b) an object has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration. c) an object has constant non-zero velocity and changing acceleration. d) an object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed west. e) an object has constant non-zero acceleration and changing velocity.

The lid of a pressure cooker forms a nearly airtight seal. steam builds up pressure and increases temperature within the pressure cooker so that food cooks faster than it does in an ordinary pot. the system is defined as the pressure cooker and the water and steam within it. if 2.0 g of water is sealed in a pressure cooker and then vaporized by heating, and 5127 j must be added as heat to completely vaporize the water, what is the change in the system’s internal energy? answer in units of j.
