Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots

1 answer:

7 0

Velocity is a vector. Therefore, it depends on the direction. Pilots need to know the direction of wind, not just the speed. If the pilot is going South, and there's 5 mph wind going South, they'll be happy, but if the wind is going 5 mph North, they'll be going against the wind.

What is the value for the kinetic energy for a n = 5 Bohr orbit electron in zeptoJoules?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is 86.6 zepto joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of orbit n =5

We know that,

Bohr's radius for hydrogen atom is

$r = 0.53\times10^{-10}\times n^2\ m$

Now, put the value of n in the formula of radius

$r=0.53\times10^{-10}\times5^2$

$r =1.33\times10^{-9}\ m$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$E_{k}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{e^2}{2\times r_{s}}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{k}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{2\times1.33\times10^{-9}}$

$E_{k}=8.66\times10^{-20}\ J$

We know that,

$1\ zepto\ joule=1\times10^{-21}\ J$

The kinetic energy is

$E_{k}=\dfrac{8.66\times10^{-20}}{1\times10^{-21}}$

$E_{k}=86.6\ zepto\ Joules$

Hence, The kinetic energy is 86.6 zepto joules.

The _____ rip and grind food into small chunks.

masya89 [10]

It would have helped to answer this question, if there were some options to choose from. I am answering the question based on what i understood. I hope that it helps you. The teeth rip and grind food into small chunks. This is also the main function of the teeth and it does help in the digestion of the food we take.

Which option best describes electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to change atoms or molecules into ions?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.

It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.
