Answer:

2.47 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass X Velocity

If they were locked together, it means its a perfectly inelastic collision. Therefore,

Total momentum before = Total momentum after

Total momentum before = (20 X 20) - (18 X 17)

= 94

Total momentum after = 94

Y = Object speed after collision

94 = (20+18)Y

Y = 2.47368421 m/s

The amount of work done to bring an electron (q = −e) from right side of hydrogen nucleus to left side in the k shell is________
maksim [4K]

Answer:

d) 2Fr

Explanation:

We know that the work done in moving the charge from the right side to the left side in the k shell is W = ∫Fdr from r = +r to -r. F = force of attraction between nucleus and electron on k shell. F = qq'/4πε₀r² where q =charge on electron in k shell  -e and q' = charge on nucleus = +e. So, F = -e × +e/4πε₀r² = -e²/4πε₀r².

We now evaluate the integral from r = +r to -r

W = ∫Fdr

= ∫(-e²/4πε₀r²)dr

= -∫e²dr/4πε₀r²

= -e²/4πε₀∫dr/r²

= -e²/4πε₀ × -[1/r] from r = +r to -r

W = e²/4πε₀[1/-r - 1/+r] = e²/4πε₀[-2/r} = -2e²/4πε₀r.

Since F = -e²/4πε₀r², Fr = = -e²/4πε₀r² × r = = -e²/4πε₀r and 2Fr = -2e²/4πε₀r.

So W = -2e²/4πε₀r = 2Fr.

So, the amount of work done to bring an electron (q = −e) from right side of hydrogen nucleus to left side in the k shell is W = 2Fr

saveliy_v [14]
The spectrum of light from the moon should very strongly resemble the spectrum of sunlight. The reason is that any light from the moon started out from the sun. Any difference in their spectra is only due to the moon absorbing more of some wavelengths and less of others. But since the moon appears colorless gray, we don't expect any particular colors to be strongly absorbed, otherwise the moon would look to be the colors of the light that's left.
