The electronic transition in a hydrogen atom from \boxed{{\text{a}}{\text{. n = 3 to n=2}}} is an exothermic process.

Further explanation:

An electronic transition is a process when an electron undergoes emission or absorption from one energy level to another energy level.

When an electron undergoes a transition from lower energy to the higher energy level then it requires energy to complete the process. Thus this transition is an absorption process.

When an electron undergoes a transition from higher energy to lower energy level then it emits the energy to complete the process. Thus this transition is an emission process.

The formula to calculate the difference between two energy levels of a hydrogen atom is,

 \Delta E={R_{\text{H}}}\left({\frac{1}{{{{\left({{{\text{n}}_{\text{i}}}}\right)}^2}}}-\frac{1}{{{{\left({{{\text{n}}_{\text{f}}}}\right)}^2}}}}\right)

Where,

\Delta E  is the energy difference between two energy levels.

{R_{\text{H}}}  is a Rydberg constant.

{{\text{n}}_{\text{i}}}  is the initial energy level of transition.

{{\text{n}}_{\text{f}}}  is the final energy level of transition.

The endothermic reactions are the reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings. The exothermic reactions are reactions that release the heat to its surroundings.

Solution:

Classification of transitions

1. In the transition from n=1 to n=3, electron goes from lower energy level (n=1) to higher energy level (n=3). Therefore, it needs to absorb the energy. Hence, this transition is classified as an absorption process. Since absorption process required the energy to complete the process thus it is an endothermic process.

2. In transition from n=3 to n=2, electron goes from higher energy level (n=3) to lower energy level (n=2), therefore, it needs to emit the energy. Hence, this transition is classified as an emission process. Since emission process releases the energy to surrounding thus it is an exothermic process.

<span>The answer is Option a Reason The electron is moving closer to the nucleus. That is, in other words, it is moving to a lower energy level and will, therefore, give out energy When a transition gives out energy or in other terms it emits heat, it's exothermic. Hence the option a.</span>

A ball is thrown vertically upward (assumed to be the positive direction) with a speed of 24.0 m/s from a height of 3.0 m. (a) H
SashulF [63]

Answer:

a) 29.36 m

b) 2.44 s

c) 2.57 s

d) 25.117 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 24 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

b)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=24-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-24}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=2.44 \s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 2.44 seconds

a)

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=24\times 2.44+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 2.44^2\\\Rightarrow s=29.35\ m

The highest point reached by the ball above its release point is 29.36 m

c) Total height is 3+29.35 = 32.35 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 32.35=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{32.35\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.57\ s

The ball reaches the ground 2.57 seconds after reaching the highest point

d)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2.57\\\Rightarrow v=25.2117\ m/s

The ball will hit the ground at 25.2117 m/s

IF it possible for an object to move for 10 seconds at a high speed and end up with an average velocity of zero? true or false
marishachu [46]

True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.

PHYSICS 50 POINTS PLEASE HELP
tangare [24]

Answer:

One way to look at Newton’s three laws of motion is this:

The third law states what forces are. That is, all forces are interactions between two different objects. If one object is interacting with another, then equal and opposite forces act on each object. So no force acts alone. When you exert a force on something, it is exerting the identical force back on you.

The first and second laws deal with the consequences of the forces that act on an object. The first law says that in the absence of a net force on an object, it simply continues doing whatever it was already doing. If it is at rest, it will remain at rest. If it is in motion, it will continue with that same motion - at constant speed and in the direction it was already traveling.

The second law says what happens if there is a net force on the object. In that case, the object accelerates - either by changing its speed, its direction, or both - in proportion and in the direction of the net force that acts on it. The amount of acceleration depends the object’s mass. That is, the larger the mass the smaller the acceleration for a given net force. The first and second laws can be summarized in the mathematical expression

F = ma

where F is the vector sum of all the forces that act on the object at any given moment (i.e., the net force), m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object due to the net force at that moment - and is always in the same direction of the net force.

And notice that in a way, the first law is then “contained” within the second. That is, if the net force is zero on an object, then so is the acceleration. That is, either the object is (still) at rest or, if already in motion, the velocity didn’t change, in either case, the acceleration was zero.
