What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str

ong calcium lines. The Sun must therefore contain more calcium than hydrogen.”?

Oliga [24]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.

Nataly_w [17]

Baking a cake creates a endothermic reaction. When heated, the baking soda/powder reacts, the eggs change form, and everything else follows suit. The baking soda/powder creates the rising of the cake.

An igneous rock becomes buried, is subject to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes. This rock then is eroded, transported,
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

When an igneous rock becomes buried, is subjected to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes it is formed into  Metamorphic rock. Now this rock is eroded, transported, deposited and subsequently lithified to be converted into Sedimentary rock.

The same igneous rock is first converted into Metamorphic and then into sedimentary by the process of weathering.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2
