Answer:
Ground-state atom
Explanation:
When an atom is not excited, it is in its ground-state, which we refer as "standard" or "normal" state.
(Hopefully that helped you!)

Answer:
Height above a surface
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.
It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.
It is given mathematically as:
P. E. = m*g*h
where m = mass of the body
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height above a surface
m*g represents the weight of the object.
Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.
Answer:
<em>The rubber band will be stretched 0.02 m.</em>
<em>The work done in stretching is 0.11 J.</em>
Explanation:
Force 1 = 44 N
extension of rubber band = 0.080 m
Force 2 = 11 N
extension = ?
According to Hooke's Law, force applied is proportional to the extension provided elastic limit is not extended.
F = ke
where k = constant of elasticity
e = extension of the material
F = force applied.
For the first case,
44 = 0.080K
K = 44/0.080 = 550 N/m
For the second situation involving the same rubber band
Force = 11 N
e = 550 N/m
11 = 550e
extension e = 11/550 = <em>0.02 m</em>
<em>The work done to stretch the rubber band this far is equal to the potential energy stored within the rubber due to the stretch</em>. This is in line with energy conservation.
potential energy stored = 
==>
= <em>0.11 J</em>
Answer:
Speed of lighter ball is 4 m/s.
Explanation:
Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum,
momentum before collision = momentum after collision.

+
= 
- 

= 3 kg,
= 8 m/s,
= 2 kg,
= 0 m/s ( since it is at rest),
= 2 m/s,
= ?
(3 x 8) + (2 x 0) = (8 x 2) - (2 x
)
24 + 0 = 16 - 2
2
= 16 - 24
2
= -8
= 
= -4 m/s
This implies that the light ball moves at the speed of 4 m/s in the opposite direction of the heavier ball after collision.
