The energies of electrons are said to be quantized. Explain what this means. please explain.

1 answer:

8 0

To move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy. Electrons are said to be quantized because they need a quantum of energy to move to a different sublevel. ... When atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels.

Which of the following quantities is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull between two objects?

Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces

I hope this helps a little bit

The force of ________ is the force at which the earth attracts another object towards itself.

antiseptic1488 [7]

The correct option is C. Gravity, and the complete sentence is: "The force of gravity is the force at which the Earth attracts another object towards itself". In fact, the force of gravity between two objects is given by
 $F= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ 
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the masses of the two objects, r their separation. If we take the Earth as one of the two objects, then m1 represents the Earth's mass, m2 the mass of the object and r the distance between the center of Earth and the object, and F is the gravitational force at which the Earth attracts the object.

A car company wants to ensure its newest model can stop in less than 450 ft when traveling at 60 mph. If we assume constant dece

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 37 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splas

Alchen [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a). 16.741 m/s

(b). 15.75 m/s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Height of the cliff, h = 37 m

Time taken to reach the sound to us = 2.92 s

Speed of the sound in air at room temperature = 343 m/s

Now,

Let us say the speed of the ball = u m/s

So,

Time taken by the ball to reach at the bottom, t is given by,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 37}{9.8}}\\t=2.747\,s$

So,

Splash is heard after = 2.92 s

So,

Time taken by sound to travel the shortest distance along the hypotenuse of the triangle thus formed is,

t = 2.92 - 2.747

t = 0.172 s

Now,

Distance traveled by sound is given by,

$Distance=343\times 0.172\\Distance=59.02\,m$

So,

In the triangle using the Pythagoras Theorem,

Horizontal distance traveled is,

$D=\sqrt{59.02^{2}-37^{2}}\\D=45.99\,m$

So,

Speed of throwing of ball is given by,

$Distance=Speed\times Time\\45.99=u\times 2.747\\u=16.741\,m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the ball = 16.741 m/s.

(b).

If,

Speed of sound = 331 m/s

So,

Distance traveled by sound is,

$Distance=331\times 0.172\\Distance=56.932\,m$

So,

Distance traveled in the horizontal by ball is,

$Distance=\sqrt{56.932^{2}-37^{2}}\\Distance=43.269\,m$

So,

Speed of the ball thrown is given by,

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Speed=\frac{43.269}{2.747}\\Speed=15.75\,m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the ball = 15.75 m/s.
