Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground.

tangare [24]

Explanation:

initial height, yo = 2 m

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

angle of projection,θ = 5 degree

distance of net = 7 m

height of net = 1 m

Let it covers a vertical distance y in time t .

Use Second equation of motion for vertical motion

As it hits the ground in time t, so put y = 0

Taking positive sign, t = 0.84 s

The ball travels a horizontal distance x in time t

X = 20 Cos5 x t

X = 16.76 m

As this distance is more than the distance of net, so it clears the net.

Let t' be the time taken to travel a horizontal distance equal to the distance of net

7 = 20 cos5 x t'

t' = 0.35 s

Let the vertical distance traveled by the ball in time t' is y'.

So,

y' = 2.008 m

So, it clears the net which is 1 m high.

It clears the net by a vertical distance of 2.008 - 1 = 1.008 m and horizontal distance 16.76 - 7 = 9.76 m

your welcome, and have a great day.

You pull on a spring whose spring constant is 22 N/m, and stretch it from its equilibrium length of 0.3 m to a length of 0.7 m.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

W= 4.4 J

Explanation

Elastic potential energy theory

If we have a spring of constant K to which a force F that produces a Δx deformation is applied, we apply Hooke's law:

F=K*x Formula (1): The force F applied to the spring is proportional to the deformation x of the spring.

As the force is variable to calculate the work we define an average force

$F_{a} =\frac{F_{f}+F_{i} }{2}$ Formula (2)

Ff: final force

Fi: initial force

The work done on the spring is :

W = Fa*Δx

Fa : average force

Δx : displacement

$W = F_{a} (x_{f} -x_{i} )$ :Formula (3)

$x_{f}$ : final deformation

$x_{i}$ :initial deformation

Problem development

We calculate Ff and Fi , applying formula (1) :

$F_{f} = K*x_{f} =22\frac{N}{m} *0.7m =15.4N$

$F_{i} = K*x_{i} =22\frac{N}{m} *0.3m =6.6N$

We calculate average force applying formula (2):

$F_{a} =\frac{15.4N+6.2N}{2} = 11 N$

We calculate the work done on the spring applying formula (3) : :

W= 11N*(0.7m-0.3m) = 11N*0.4m=4.4 N*m = 4.4 Joule = 4.4 J

Work done in stages

Work is the change of elastic potential energy (ΔEp)

W=ΔEp

ΔEp= Epf-Epi

Epf= final potential energy

Epi=initial potential energy

$E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *k*x_{f}^{2}$

$E_{pi} =\frac{1}{2} *k*x_{i}^{2}$

$E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *22*0.7^{2} = 5.39 J$

$E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *22*0.3^{2} = 0.99 J$

W=ΔEp= 5.39 J-0.99 J = 4.4J

What did antoine lavoisier contribute to the atomic theory

gregori [183]

Explanation:

Antoine lavoisier is most famous for his role in discovering of oxygen. He recognized and name two important element oxygen(1778) and hydrogen(1779).

In a chemical reaction, Lavoisier observed the mass is retained. A chemical reaction's total mass of the products will always be the same as the total mass of the reactant materials used in the reaction. His results led to one of the basic laws of chemical behavior: the law of material preservation, which states that matter is preserved in a chemical reaction.
