They typically represents different wavelengths of element due to its energy emission in the form of visible light. When an electron of that particular element move from a higher energy level down to a lower energy level, it gives off energy in the form of photon emission. Atom of a certain element has a unique electron arrangement thus it can considered that particular element's spectrum is unique.

A ball is dropped off the balcony of a hotel room and it takes 2.8s to fall to the ground . how high above the ground is the bal
RideAnS [48]

The height of the ball above the ground is 38.45 m

First we will calculate the velocity of the ball when it touch the ground by using first equation of motion

v=u+gt

v=0+9.81×2.8

v=27.468 m/s

now the height of the ground can be calculated by the formula

v=√2gh

27.468=√2×9.81×h

h=38.45 m

A ruby laser delivers a 16.0-ns pulse of 4.20-MW average power. If the photons have a wavelength of 694.3 nm, how many are conta
stepan [7]

Answer:

The  value is  n  =  2.347 *10^{17} \  photons

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  amount of power delivered is  P  =  4.20 \  M W  =  4.20  *10^{6} \  W

      The  time taken is  t =  16.0ns  =  16.0 *10^{-9} \  s

       The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  694.3 \  nm =  694.3 *10^{-9} \  m

     

Generally the energy delivered is  mathematically represented as

     E  =  P  * t  =  \frac{n  *  h  *  c  }{\lambda }

Where  h is the Planck's constant with value  h  =  6.262  *10^{-34} \  J \cdot  s

           c  is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0*10^{8} \  m/s

     

So  

    4.20 *10^{6}  *  16*10^{-9}=  \frac{n  *  6.626 *10^{-34}  *  3.0*10^{8}  }{694.3 *10^{-9}}

=>    n  =  2.347 *10^{17} \  photons

The work-energy principle states that the work done by all the __________ forces acting on an object (or system of objects) caus
CaHeK987 [17]

The work-energy principle states that the work done by all the non-conservative forces acting on an object (or system of objects) causes a change in the total mechanical energy of the object or system.


What is the work-energy principle?
The work-energy principle states that the total work done on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system. It is given as:

W.D = ΔK.E

       = K.E₁ - K.E₂

where K.E₁ is the initial kinetic energy of the system

            K.E₂ is the final kinetic energy of the system



What is meant by non-conservative forces?

Non-conservative forces as the name suggests are not conserved i.e. these forces cause a loss of mechanical energy from the system. A prime example of non-conservative forces is friction.

The total mechanical energy of the system is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy that the system contains. This energy is conserved and follows the work-energy theorem.

Red fox
Svetach [21]
In a food pyramid, the organism that has the least amount of total energy available is the one that is in the bottom or last. In this case, given the list of organisms above, the organism that would have the least amount of total energy available would be the RED FOX. The answer is option A. Hope this answer helps.
