Answer:

C. identity of the element

The specific amount of energy emitted when electrons jump from excited states to the ground state refers to emission spectrum. The energy is emitted in the form of photons, and the photons have very specific wavelengths (energy) that correspond to the energy gaps between the excited states and the ground state. The specific wavelengths of light emitted are referred to as the "emission spectrum," and each element produces a different emission spectrum. Thus, this emitted energy can be used to identify the element from which your sample was taken.

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
Liula [17]
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is 
                        D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²) 
           Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected 
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does. 
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t²  

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t² 

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

  -- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .-- 

They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 2.99 × 108 m/s, and the speed of light through a piece of glass is approximately
exis [7]

Option (b) is correct.The index of refraction for the glass is 1.52

Explanation:

velocity of light in vacuum= C= 2.99 x 10⁸m/s

Velocity of light in glass = V= 1.97 x 10⁸m/s

The refractive index is given by n=\frac{c}{v}

n= 2.99 x 10⁸/1.97 x 10⁸m/s

n= 1.52

Thus the refractive index of glass is 1.52
