Line spectra from all regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, including the Paschen series of infrared lines for hydrogen, are

used by astronomers to identify elements present in the atmospheres of stars. Calculate the wavelength of the photon emitted when the hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from n = 5 to n = 3. (R = 2.18 × 10–18 J)

Answer:

λ = 3.4 × 10^18m

Explanation:using Rydberg equation:

1/λ = RH •Z^2[ (1/n1) - (1/n2) ]

RH = Rydberg constant = 2.18x 10^-18j)

n1 and n2 = energy levels (n2 >n1)

Z = atomic number = 4

Substitute

1/λ = 2.18x 10^-18• [ (1/3) - (1/5) }

λ = 3.4 × 10^18m

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of
spin [16.1K]

The  final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the top

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

U_f is the final potential energy, at the bottom

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 2 m is the initial height

h_f=1.50 m is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

K_i = 0

Therefore we can solve the equation for K_f, the final kinetic energy of the ball:

K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J

A copper wire of length 16 cm is in a magnetic field of 0.19 T. If it has a mass of 9.0 g, what is the minimum current through t
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

2.9 A

Explanation:

L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

B = 0.19 T

m = 9 g = 0.009 kg

Let the minimum current be i.

Magnetic force is balanced by the gravitational force

B x i x L = m x g

0.19 x i x 0.16 = 0.009 x 9.8

i = 2.9 A

6. A .25 kg arrow with a velocity of 12 m/s to the west strikes and pierces the center of a 6.8 kg target. a. What is the final
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the combined mass is 9.43 m/s

(b) the decrease in kinetic energy during the collision is 386.1 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of arrow, m₁ = 25 kg

initial velocity of arrow, u₁ = 12 m/s

mass of target, m₂ = 6.8 kg

initial velocity of the target, u₂ = 0

Part (a)

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

where;

v is the final velocity of the combined mass

25 x 12 + 0 = v(25 + 6.8)

300 = v(31.8)

v = 300/31.8

v = 9.43 m/s

Part(b)

Kinetic Energy, K.E = ¹/₂mv²

Initial kinetic energy =  ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²  = ¹/₂ x 25 x (12)² + 0 = 1800 J

Final kinetic energy = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v² = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

                                                               = ¹/₂ x (9.43)²(25+6.8)

                                                               = 1413.91 J

Decrease in kinetic energy = Initial K.E - Final K.E

Decrease in kinetic energy = 1800J - 1413.91 J = 386.1 J

Start at the big tree, and take the instructions one at a time: 1). Walk 15 west. 2). From there, turn around and walk 2 east. 3). From there, walk 7 more east. Where are you from the big tree now ? Aren't you 6 west of it ? I mean, let's see some common sense here !
