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>

Hi there!

1.

Hooke's law states that:

F = -kx

k = Spring constant (N/m)

x = DISPLACEMENT from equilibrium (m)

Essentially, the force of a spring is PROPORTIONAL to its spring constant and its displacement from its equilibrium point.

2.

The force of the spring (T) is not proportional to the spring's length (l), but rather its DISPLACEMENT from its equilibrium length. (Δl)

3.

The equilibrium length is where the force of the spring (T) = 0N. Looking at the graph, the line intersects this value at l = 30cm.

4.

We can begin by looking at the given graph.

When the spring force = 4N, the total length of the spring is 35 cm.

Now, the EQUILIBRIUM length is 30 cm, so the total elongation is:

35 - 30 = 5 cm.

5.1.

If the spring elongates by 10 cm, the total length of the spring is:

30 + 10 = 40 cm

According to the graph, a length of 40 cm corresponds to a force of 8N.

5.2.

We can solve for the weight of the ball using the following:

W (weight) = m (mass) · acceleration due to gravity (10N/kg)

Using a summation of forces:

∑F = T - W

The elongation that we are solving for occurs at the equilibrium point (net force = 0 N), so:

0 = T - W

T = W = 8 N

5.3.

0 = T - Mg

T = Mg

Use the prior value of T and gravity to solve:

8 = 10M

m = 0.8 kg

An athlete kicks a soccer ball that starts at rest so that it leaves their foot with a speed of 10m/s from the top o f a rectang
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a=500m/s^2

Explanation:

We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}

In our case the final velocity is v_f=10m/s, the initial velocity is v_i=0m/s since it departs from rest, the final time is t_f=0.02s and the initial time we are considering is t_i=0s

So for our values we have:

a=\frac{10m/s-0m/s}{0.02s-0s}=500m/s^2

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.
