Answer:

E = 120.77 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a baseball, m = 0.143 kg

Velocity of a baseball, v = 41.1 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the baseball. We know that the kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be given by the formula as follow :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.143\ kg\times (41.1\ m/s)^2\\E=120.77\ J$

So, the kinetic energy of the baseball is 120.77 J.

Imagine that an electron in an excited state in a nitrogen molecule decays to its ground state, emitting a photon with a frequen

mash [69]

Since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, the change in energy of the electron must be equal to the energy of the emitted photon.

The energy of the emitted photon is given by:
$E=hf$
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the photon frequency
Substituting $f=8.88 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$ , we find
$E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(8.88 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

This is the energy given to the emitted photon; it means this is also equal to the energy lost by the electron in the transition, so the variation of energy of the electron will have a negative sign (because the electron is losing energy by decaying from an excited state, with higher energy, to the ground state, with lower energy)
$\Delta E= -5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J$
