In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond only the outer shell is not closed. So, the answer to this question wold be outermost energy level.
Answer:
the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the ball, m = 40 g = 0.04 kg
spring constant, k = 25 N/m
Apply the principle of conservation of energy;
The Elastic potential energy of the spring will be converted into Kinetic of the ball;

Therefore, the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s
It determines whether the light beams will be concentrated or scattered.
