1- A baseball weighs 220 g. Top speed for a professional pitcher is about 100 mph when he throws a fast ball. Find the de Broglie wavelength (in nm) associated with a baseball that is moving with a velocity of 80 mph.

2- The photoelectric effect for a certain alloy has a threshold frequency of 9.20 x 1014 Hz. For light of this frequency, find the energy of one mole of photons (in kJ).

3- Electrons are ejected from sodium metal by any light that has a wavelength shorter than 544 nm. What is the kinetic energy of an electron (in J) that is ejected from sodium by light with a wavelength of 469 nm?

To avoid falling over,a cyclist needs to maintain speed of about 3 mph. Consider a 180 lb rider on a 20 lb bike attempting the famous 31.5% slope of FIlbert Street in San Francisco. Wind drag and rolling friction certainly aren't his main concerns! We'll ignore them. a) In pounds, what is the backward force of the hill? b) How much power must he put out to climb the hill at a constant speed of 3 mph? c) Refer to...

A sugar cube (sucrose) weighs about 3 g. A 20 oz. (591 mL) container of Gatorade (or Powerade) contains 35 g of sucrose (table sugar). 1.0 oz. = 28.35 g. Sucrose is a dissaccharide consisting of glucose and fructose (a 1:1 ratio). Gram molecular weight (GMW) of sucrose = 342.2 g/mole. When ingested, sucrose is rapidly broken down into glucose and fructose by enzymes in your body. In humans, normal blood glucose levels are maintained at about 0.005 moles/L (which...
