What happens to an electron when energy is added?

1 answer:

7 0

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon).

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect

nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

An Olympic discus thrower (~100 kg) launches the 2.0 kg discus by spinning rapidly (~4 times per second) with arm outstretched (

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg

angular speed of the disk = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r

ω = 4 x 2 x π

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

Greyhound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Given \; that}}}}}$

★ A grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{To\; find}}}}}$

★ The speed of the hound and the hare

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

★ The speed of the hound and the hare = 25:18

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Full \; Solution}}}}}$

$\dashrightarrow$ As it's given that a grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

So firstly let us assume a metres as the distance covered by the hare in one leap.

Ok now let's talk about 5 leaps,.! As it's cleared that the hare cover the distance of 5a metres.

But 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

Henceforth, (5/3)a meters is the distance that is covered by the hound.

Now according to the question,

Hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare..! (Same interval)

Now the distance travelled by the hound in it's 5 leaps..!

(5/3)a × 5

25/3a metres

Now the distance travelled by the hare in it's 6 leaps..!

6a metres

Now let us compare the speed of the hound and the hare. Let us calculate them in the form of ratio..!

25/3a = 6a

25/3 = 6

25:18
