Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?

1 answer:

Lynna [10]3 years ago

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

A 75-kilogram hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0 meters per second. What is the magnitude of the average

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(3) 690 N

Explanation:

Force: This is the product of mass and acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of force is Newton(N).

The formula for force is given as,

F = ma..................... Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

Also,

a = (v-u)/t................... Equation 2

Where v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (bring to stop), t = 0.65 s.

Substitute into equation 2

a = (0-6)/0.65

a = -6/0.65

a = -9.23 m/s²

Also given: m = 75 kg

Substitute again into equation 1

F = 75(-9.23)

F = -692.25 N

The negative sign tells that the force oppose the motion of the player

F ≈ 690 N

Hence the right option is (3) 690 N

A small object with a 5.0-mC charge is accelerating horizontally on a friction-free surface at 0.0050 m/s2 due only to an electr

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$0.002 N/C$

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge of object, q = 5 mC = $5 * 10^{-3} C$

Acceleration of object, a = $0.005 m/s^2$

Mass of object, m = 2.0 g

The Electric field exerts a particular force on the object, causing it to accelerate (Electrostatic force).

We know that Electrostatic force, F, is given in terms of Electric field, E, as:

F = qE

This means that the object exerts a force of -qE on the Electric force (Action with equal and opposite reaction).

The object also has a force, F, due to its acceleration a. This force is the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically:

F = ma

Equating the two forces of the object, we get:

-qE = ma

=> $E = \frac{-ma}{q}$

Solving for E, we have:

$E = \frac{-2 * 10^{-3} * 0.005}{5 * 10^{-3}} \\\\\\E = -0.002 N/C$

The magnitude will be:

$|E| = |-0.002| N/C = 0.002 N/C$

The electric field has a magnitude of 0.002 N/C.
