Kevin decides to soup up his car by replacing the car's wheels with ones that have 1.4 times the diameter of the original wheels
True [87]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Given that Kevin decides to soup up his car by replacing the car's wheels with ones that have 1.4 times the diameter of the original wheels. Note that the speedometer in a car is calibrated based on the tire's diameter and on the distance the tire covers in each revolution. (a) Will the reading of the speedometer change ?

Considering the formula

V = wr

Where

V = linear speed

W = angular speed

r = radius of the wheel.

But W = 2πrf

Where the the 2 and pi are constant. The radius of the first wheel will be small but counter balance with the larger frequency.

While the radius of the second wheel may be large but it will be of a small frequency.

We can therefore conclude that the reading on the speedometer will not change. Because speedometer will read the linear speed V.

A scientist shines light from a source onto a piece of metal, and no electrons are released by the metal. Increasing the intensi
Nezavi [6.7K]

This is the photoelectric effect, and it is best explained by the particle model of light.

<h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission of negatively charged particles and electromagnetic radiation that hits an object.

The photoelectric effect shows how electrons can be released from a given object when this material is absorbing electromagnetic radiation.

The photoelectric effect is a fundamental piece of evidence for understanding the nature of light particles.

How do the dark lines of an atom''s absorption spectrum relate to the bright lines of its emission spectrum?
tangare [24]

Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon !   If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.

All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.

Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove.  It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.

The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels.  Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up.  We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.

The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).

Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.

You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."

Many television sets show 25 images, called 'frames, each second. What is the time interval between one
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Given,

Frame rate = 25 frames per second

To find,

Time interval between one frame and the next.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process.

Now,

Number of frames = 25

Total time taken to display the given number of frames (ie. 25 frames) = 1 second

To calculate the time interval between one frame and next, we need to divide the time taken to display total number of frames by total number of frames.

So,

Time interval between one frame and next :

= Time taken to display total number of frames / Total frames

= 1/25

= 0.04 second

Hence, time interval between one frame and next is 0.04 second.

Explain, using the kinetic theory of matter, why liquids and solids are more denser than gases
AlekseyPX
Solid and liquids are much more denser than gas because their molecules are close to each other and with that the molecules of them can't move that freely unlike the gas molecules. Also, because of being near to each other the molecules of solid and liquids became heavy making them dense.
