Answer:

2587.2 J.

Explanation:

From potential energy,

The work done to lift the chain = potential energy of the chain.

W = mgh............... Equation 1

Where W = work done to lift the chain, m = mass of the chain, g = acceleration due to gravity of the chain, h = height of the chain.

But,

m = m'd............... Equation 2

Where m' = density of the chain, d = length of the chain.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

W = m'dgh................ Equation 3

Given: m' = 2 kg/m, d = 12 m, h = 11 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

W = 2(12)(11)(9.8)

W = 2587.2 J.

If a star has no measurable parallax, what can you infer?.
Leni [432]
<span>If you can't measure the parallax that means that the star is far far away, beyond all possible reach of humanity with its current technology. The closer the star is the greater the parallax, so you either get a bigger, more powerful telescope, or you just accept that it's too far away to be measured at all. Eventually the technology will develop enough to measure it.</span>

Answer:

D. n=6 to n=2

Explanation:

Given;

energy of emitted photon, E = 3.02 electron volts

The energy levels of a Hydrogen atom is given as;  E = -E₀ /n²

where;

E₀ is the energy level of an electron in ground state =  -13.6 eV

n is the energy level

From the equation above make n, the subject of the formula;

n² = -E₀ / E

n² = 13.6 eV / 3.02 eV

n² = 4.5

n = √4.5

n = 2

When electron moves from higher energy level to a lower energy level it emits photons;

E = E_0(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} )\\\\\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} = \frac{E}{E_o} \\\\\frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} = \frac{3.02}{13.6} \\\\\frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} =0.222\\\\\frac{1}{n_2^2} = 0.25 - 0.22\\\\\frac{1}{n_2^2} = 0.03\\\\n_2^2 = 33.33\\\\n_2 = \sqrt{33.33} = 6

For a photon to be emitted, electron must move from higher energy level to a lower energy level. The higher energy level is 6 while the lower energy level is 2

Therefore,  The electron energy-level transition is from n = 6 to n = 2

A plane mirror forms a virtual image. give reasons ​
xenn [34]

Answer:

1. The reason why a plane mirror forms a virtual image is because it doesn't let the light go through it, but it reflects the light, so if you go behind the plane mirror, then you won't see the rays of light since it's not letting the rays of light go behind it.

2. The image cannot be projected onto a screen also.

3. Also, the Rays of light never meet at a focus point, so hence, this is why the plane mirror forms a virtual image.

Thanks!
