20) What is the minimum energy required to ionize a hydrogen atom in the n = 2 state?
1 answer:
The minimum energy required to ionize a hydrogen atom in the n = 2 state is -1.51 eV. Option B is corect.
<h3>What is hydrogen?</h3>The chemical element hydrogen has the atomic number 1 and the symbol H. The smallest element is hydrogen.
The second excited state matches n=3. The minimum energy required to ionize a hydrogen atom in the n = 2 state is;
The minimum energy required to ionize a hydrogen atom in the n = 2 state is -1.51 eV
Hence, option B is corect.

If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation: </u>
According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:
So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.
Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.
Answer:
<em>I must travel with a speed of 2.97 x 10^8 m/s</em>
Explanation:
Sine the spacecraft flies at the same speed in the to and fro distance of the journey, then the time taken will be 6 months plus 6 months
Time that elapses on the spacecraft = 1 year
On earth the people have advanced 120 yrs
According to relativity, the time contraction on the spacecraft is gotten from
=
where
is the time that elapses on the spacecraft = 120 years
= time here on Earth = 1 year
is the ratio v/c
where
v is the speed of the spacecraft = ?
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
substituting values, we have
120 = 1/
squaring both sides of the equation, we have
14400 = 1/
14400 - 14400 = 1
14400 - 1 = 14400
14399 = 14400
= 14399/14400 = 0.99
= 0.99
substitute β = v/c
v/c = 0.99
but c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 0.99c = 0.99 x 3 x 10^8 = <em>2.97 x 10^8 m/s</em>
