Answer:
The energy absorbed by the atomic electrons in the mercury atom is
J
Explanation:
Given:
Potential
V
According to the conservation law,
Loss in kinetic energy = Gain in potential energy
Here, energy absorbed by the atomic electrons is given by,

Where
( charge of electron )

J
Therefore, the energy absorbed by the atomic electrons in the mercury atom is
J
Assuming north as positive direction, the initial and final velocities of the ball are:

(with negative sign since it is due south)

the time taken is

, so the average acceleration of the ball is given by

And the positive sign tells us the direction of the acceleration is north.

Answer:
a. speed, v = 0.97 c
b. time, t' = 20.56 years
Given:
t' = 5 years
distance of the planet from the earth, d = 10 light years = 10 c
Solution:
(a) Distance travelled in a round trip, d' = 2d = 20 c = L'
Now, using Length contraction formula of relativity theory:
(1)
time taken = 5 years
We know that :
time = 
5 =
(2)
Dividing eqn (1) by v on both the sides and substituting eqn (2) in eqn (1):
Squaring both the sides and Solving above eqution, we get:
v = 0.97 c
(b) Time observed from Earth:
Using time dilation:


Solving the above eqn:
t'' = 20.56 years
