Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air called the atmosphere.

All living organisms depend on this atmosphere to survive as the atmosphere provide the necessary air that we breath and also protects us from the harmful radiations of the sun.

The atmosphere is mainly composed of four layers which are:
1- Troposphere which has the air that we breath
2- Stratosphere which has the ozone layer
3- Mesosphere
4- Ionosphere

A graduated beaker with 375 mL of water is sitting on a scale which measures the weight of the glass and water to be 7.60 N. Whe

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Volume of water displaced = 450 - 375 = 75 ml

Vr = volume of rock = 75 ml

Wr = 9.22 - 7.60 = 1.62 N weight of 75 ml of rock

Density of rock = 1.62 N / 75 ml = .0216 N / ml

Density of water = 1000 g / 1000 ml = 9.8 N / 1000 ml = .0098 N / ml

Density of rock / density of water = .0216 / .0098 = 2.20

Aliya deposited half as much money in a savings account earning 1.9% simple interest as she invested in a money market account t

yanalaym [24]

Let A be the amount of money that Aliya deposited in the savings account. Since A is half as much as money as she invested in a money market account, then the amount that she invested in the market account is 2A.

Express the interest that Aliya earned in terms of A. Set it equal to the amount of $297.60 and then solve for A.

Since the savings account gives 1.9% simple interest, the total amount of interest that she will earn from the savings account is 1.9% of A, which is equal to:

$\frac{1.9}{100}\times A$

Since the money market account gives 3.7% simple interest, the total amount of interest that she will earn from the money market account, is 3.7% of 2A, which is equal to:

$\frac{3.7}{100}\times2A$

Add both interests in terms of A and simplify the expression:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1.9}{100}\times A+\frac{3.7}{100}\times2A \\ =\frac{1.9}{100}\times A+\frac{7.4}{100}\times A \\ =(\frac{1.9}{100}+\frac{7.4}{100})\times A \\ =\frac{1.9+7.4}{100}\times A \\ =\frac{9.3}{100}\times A \end{gathered}$

The expression (9.3/100)*A represents the total interest after one year. Then:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9.3}{100}\times A=297.60 \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{100}{9.3}\times297.60 \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{100\times297.60}{9.3} \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{29760}{9.3} \\ \Rightarrow A=3200 \end{gathered}$

Use the value of A to find the amount that was invested in the money market account:

$2A=2\times3200=6400$

Therefore, Aliya deposited 3200 in a savings account and 6400 in a money market account.

An electron in the n = 5 level of an h atom emits a photon of wavelength 1282.17 nm. to what energy level does the electron move

lions [1.4K]

This is an interesting (read tricky!) variation of Rydberg Eqn calculation.
Rydberg Eqn: 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 1282.17 nm = 1282.17×10^-9 m
R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1
n2 = 5 (emission)
Hence 1/(1282.17 ×10^-9) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/n1^2 – 1/25^2]
Some rearranging and collecting up terms:
1 = (1282.17 ×10^-9) (1.09737× 10^7)[1/n2 -1/25]
1= 14.07[1/n^2 – 1/25]
1 =14.07/n^2 – (14.07/25)
14.07n^2 = 1 + 0.5628
n = √(14.07/1.5628) = 3
