A flare is shot from a snowmobile with an initial velocity of 4.3 m/s at 90*, while the snowmobile is moving at 8.5 m/s at 0.0*.

Determine using both methods, graphical and mathematical, the initial net velocity (magnitude and direction) of the flare. HOW DO I DO THIS??

The driver is tooling along in his snowmobile, pointed north,
at 8.5 m/s.

He's carrying the flares with him, so the flares are also moving north
at 8.5 m/s.

When he fires the flare straight up, it has a vertical velocity of 4.3 m/s
straight up, and a horizontal velocity of 8.5 m/s towards the north.

The magnitude of the net velocity is √(4.3² + 8.5²) .
That's about  9.53 m/s, at some angle between straight up
and straight north.

The angle above horizontal is the angle that has a tangent of  4.3/8.5 .
I'll let you work out the angle.

An electron in a mercury atom jumps from level a to level g by absorbing a single
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

7.39ev

Explanation:

Energy levels are found inside the atom. Electrons occupy these energy levels depending on the energy they possess. Electrons can move from one energy level to another due to absorption or emission of a photon or other factors. As the electron, jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level emitting a photon of measurable frequency, the photon carries energy equal to the amount of energy between the gap of the levels. This idea was first proposed by Neils Bohr and became the forerunner of the wave mechanical model of the atom.

Hence the energy of a photon is the energy of the gap between the two energy levels. Since Ea= 2.48ev and Eg= 10.38 ev.

If an electron jumps from Ea to Eg, the energy of the photon absorbed is given by;

E=Eg-Ea

E= 10.38ev - 2.48ev

E= 7.39ev

He has a mass of 56 kg.

The equation given is PE = mgh.

PE = 4620 J

h = 8.4

g = 9.8

Therefore:

4620 = 82.32m

m = 4620/82.32
m = 56 (rounded to two significant digits)

Examine the scenario.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
