Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}

For ground state, n = 1

E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}

E_1=10\ meV

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the momentum of a 72 kg baseball player who slides into home plate
Alina [70]

Answer:

B) 350 kg m/s

Explanation:

momentum or p is given by the equation p= mxv

We have the mass and velocity so we can use the equation directly

p= 72kg x 4.9 m/s

p= 352.8 kg m/s

Hydrogen is found in three different states inside Jupiter, ______, liquid, and liquid ______.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

gas, metal

Explanation:

The three states of by which hydrogen is found in Jupiter is made up of:

  1. Gaseous hydrogen
  2. liquid hydrogen
  3. liquid metal hydrogen

This is also the same states found in Saturn too.

The pressure inside the largest planet in our solar system is very great.

  • Hydrogen and helium makes up the entirety of the planet Jupiter.
  • It has been discovered that inside this planet, hydrogen often occurs as gas, liquid and metal
  • This is often attributed to the huge amount of pressure in the planet.

A car drives off a cliff next to a river at a speed of 30 m/s and lands on the bank on theother side. The road above the cliff i
dezoksy [38]

Answer:1.301 s

Explanation:

Given

Initial Velocity(u)=30 m/s

Height of cliff=8.3 m

Time taken to cover 8.3 m

h=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

here Initial vertical velocity is 0

8.3=\frac{gt^2}{2}

t^2=1.69

t=1.301 s

Horizontal distance

R=u\times t

R=30\times 1.301=39.04 m
