Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon ! If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.
All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.
Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove. It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.
The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels. Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up. We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.
The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).
Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.
You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."
Answer:
10.32874 m
Explanation:
= Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = Height of water
= Density of water = 1000 kg/m³
If the walls of the tube do not collapse that means that maximum pressure inside will be the atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric pressure is given by
The maximum height to which Superman can lift the water is 10.32874 m
On the Moon there is no atmosphere so no atmospheric pressure which means when the straw is placed in water water will not rise in the tube.
Answer:
Weightlessness
Explanation:
When the elevator is in free fall, this can only occur when the cord of the elevator breaks.
The acceleration of the elevator will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. That is:
a = g
Then, the body will experience what we called WEIGHTLESSNESS
Where the normal reaction N of the person will tend to zero. That is
N = 0
The value of FN < 0 because the person inside the lift will experience weightlessness.
At 10 m/s, it will take
(2 m)/(10 m/s) =
0.2 sto bridge the gap.
_____
However, it will take an additional 0.514 seconds (0.714 s total) for the policeman to land on the building below. The answer depends on the meaning of the question.
Answer:
100 times
Explanation:
Since inertia is directly proportional to the mass of an object, the higher the mass the higher the inertia. In this case, 6 Kg is 100 times heavier than 0.06 Kg to imply The bowling ball has 100 times more inertia than the tennis ball because it has 100 times more mass
