To be sure that the color is due to sodium, do a flame test. This is used to identify the presence of small number of metal ions in a compound. For sodium, the brilliant color of bright yellow is a result of an excited electron in a very high level of energy and fall to a lower level called the ground state. 

In addition, metals have different jump sizes in the energy level and this means that each different metal will have a different pattern of spectral lines, which results to different flame color.

Answer:

E =  1.64 x 10⁶ V/m

Explanation:

The electric field in the region between the plates can be given by the following formula:

E = \frac{\Delta V}{d}

where,

E = Electric Field = ?

ΔV = Poetential Difference across the plates = 23 KV = 23000 V

d = distance between plates = 1.4 cm = 0.014 m

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

E = \frac{23000\ V}{0.014\ m}

<u>E =  1.64 x 10⁶ V/m</u>

A player strikes a hockey puck giving it a velocity of 30.252 m/s. The puck slides across the ice for 0.267 s after which time i
erica [24]

Answer:

The average drag force is  1.206 (-i)  N

Explanation:

You have to apply the equations of<em> Impulse</em>:

I=FmedΔt

Where I and Fmed (the average force) are vectors.

The Impulse can also be expressed as the change in the <em>quantity of motion</em> (vector P)

I=P2-P1

P=mV (m is the mass and v is the velocity)

You can calculate the quantity of motion at the beggining and at the end of the given time:

Replace the mass in kg, dividing the mass by 1000 to convert it from g to kg.

P1=(0.179kg)(30.252m/s) i=  5.414 i kg.m/s

P2=0.179kg)(28.452m/s) i = 5.092 i kg. m/s

Where i is the unit vector in the x-direction.

Therefore:

I= 5.092 i - 5.414 i = -0.322 i

The average drag force is:

Fmed= I/Δt = -0.322 i/ 0.267s = -1.206 i N

Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?
Gnom [1K]
The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.

n a ballistics test, a potato gun shoots a 0.34 kg potato into a 5.0 kg catching cart. The cart recoils at 3.7 m/s after catchin
Gala2k [10]

The initial velocity of the potato is 54.41 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the potato, m = 0.34 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the cart, m = 5.0 kg </em>
  • <em>Velocity of the recoil, u₂ = 3.7 m/s</em>

<em />

The initial velocity of the potato is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

m_1u_1 = m_2 u_2\\\\u_1 = \frac{m_2 u_2}{m_1} \\\\u_1 = \frac{5 \times 3.7}{0.34} \\\\u_1 = 54.41 \ m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the potato is 54.41 m/s.
