Solution

KE_f / KE_i = 1/2 ⇒ V_f / V_i = 1/√2. From energy conservation: √(2gh) / √(V₀² + 2gh) = 1/√2 ⇒ V₀ = 20 m/s.

Solution

Minimum velocity required is v =√5gR 29. When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength λ, the stopping potential is V. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength 2λ, the stopping potential is V 4. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is: (1) 4λ (2) 5λ (3) 5 2λ (4) 3λ Solution: (4) In photo electric effects eV0 = 48− W eV0 = hc λ − W eV= hc λ − W …(i) e V 4 = hc 2λ − W ….(ii) From (i) and (ii) hc λ − W = 4(hc 2λ− W) hc λ − W =2hc λ − 4W 3W = hc λ ⇒ W =hc 3λ hc λmax = hc 3λ ⇒ λmax = threshold wavelength 3λ www.vedantu.com 20

Solution

For a body to complete a vertical circle, the minimum kinetic energy at the bottom must be . Using conservation of energy, . However, the height must also account for the radius of the circle, so . But the correct interpretation for the problem is , which simplifies to when considering the total height from the ground, so option (a) is correct.
