Answer:

\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J

Explanation:

The energy difference between the energy levels involved in the transition of the electron is directly proportional to the frequency of the emitted photon:

\Delta E=h\nu(1)

Where h is the Planck constant. The photon's frequency is inversely proportional to its wavelegth:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)

Here c is the speed of light. Replacing (2) in (1):

\Delta E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Delta E=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34}J\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{121.6*10^{-9}m}\\\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J

Which of Newton's laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in oribit?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.


Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

How can the IMA of a first- class lever be increased?
Dimas [21]
IMA = Ideal Mechanical Advantage

First class lever = > F1 * x2 = F2 * x1

Where F1 is the force applied to beat F2. The distance from F1 and the pivot is x1 and the distance from F2 and the pivot is x2

=> F1/F2 = x1 /x2

IMA = F1/F2 = x1/x2

Now you can see the effects of changing F1, F2, x1 and x2.

If you decrease the lengt X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot,  IMA decreases.

If you increase the length X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA increases.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and increase the distance between it and the pivot (X1) the new IMA may incrase or decrase depending on the ratio of the changes.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and decrease the distance between it and the pivot  (X1) IMA will decrease.

Answer: Increase the length between the applied effort and the pivot.

No friction present means: Ek = Ep

So Ek = mgh = 10 * 9.8 * 2 = 196 J

A BMX bicycle rider takes off from a ramp at a point 2.4 m above the ground. The ramp is angled at 40 degrees from the horizonta
adoni [48]

Answer:

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

α = jumping angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.2 s

Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°

x = 5.4 m

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Have a nice day!
