A glass tube is filled with hydrogen gas.  An electric current is passed through the tube, and the tube begins to glow a pinkish

/purple color (this is how fluorescent bulbs and neon signs produce light). If you were to pass this pink light through a prism to separate the individual light frequencies, you would see that this pink light is composed of four distinct colors: violet, green, blue, and red.  Notice the similarity between image (b) above and image (b) from question #3. Which is the best description of why this occurs?

Answer:

The electrons within the hydrogen atoms have gained energy from the current causing them to jump to higher orbitals. When they fall back to a lower energy orbital they release a single photon. These photons have discrete energies equal to the difference in energy of the two orbitals

Explanation:

The phenomenon described here is the photo electric effect.

When electricity is passed through the hydrogen gas an electron absorbs the energy of one photon and gains energy more than the work function of the hydrogen. Work function is the electron binding energy of a material. The above process causes the emission of an electron which is known as a photoelectron (photon).

A cubical box measuring 1.29 m on each side contains a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm How much thermal energy do t
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a) U = 652.545\,kJ, b) v \approx 659.568\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

a) According to the First Law of Thermodinamics, the system is not reporting any work, mass or heat interactions. Besides, let consider that such box is rigid and, therefore, heat contained inside is the consequence of internal energy.

Q = U

The internal energy for a monoatomic ideal gas is:

U = \frac{3}{2} \cdot n \cdot R_{u} \cdot T

Let assume that cubical box contains just one kilomole of monoatomic gas. Then, the temperature is determined from the Equation of State for Ideal Gases:

T = \frac{P\cdot V}{n\cdot R_{u}}

T = \frac{(202.65\,kPa)\cdot(1.29\,m)^{3}}{(1\,kmole)\cdot(8.314\,\frac{kPa\cdot m^{3}}{kmole\cdot K} )}

T = 52.325\,K

The thermal energy contained by the gas is:

U = \frac{3}{2}\cdot (1\,kmole)\cdot (8.314\,\frac{kPa\cdot m^{3}}{kmole\cdot K})\cdot (52.325\,K)

U = 652.545\,kJ

b) The physical model for the cat is constructed from Work-Energy Theorem:

U = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{cat} \cdot v^{2}

The speed of the cat is obtained by isolating the respective variable and the replacement of every known variable by numerical values:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot U}{m_{cat}}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (652.545 \times 10^{3}\,J)}{3\,kg} }

v \approx 659.568\,\frac{m}{s}

electromagnetic generators generate electricity. events that occur to generate electricity are listed below. what is the correct
AysviL [449]

The correct order of events for the electromagnetic generators generate electricity is

          b) The conducting coil rotates

           c) The number of magnetic field lines passing through the coil changes

          d) The flow of cuurent through the circuit

           a)The stationary electrons in the wire experience a force.

The electromagnetic generators is working on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It has been used in many places as standby power sources in shops, homes etc.

It works by converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy by making use of electromagnetic conduction. which means the creation of current my moving the wire which is next to the magnet.

Three identical balls are thrown from the same height off a tall building. They are all thrown with the same speed, but in diffe
koban [17]

Answer:

three balls have the same speed

Explanation:

In a parabolic motion we have that

v_{x}=v_{0}cos\alpha\\v_{y}=-gt+v_{0}sin\alpha\\v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}\\

but the time just before the balls hit the ground is

t=\frac{2v_{0}sin\alpha}{g}

Hence we have

ball A

v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}cos^{2}(0)+(-g\frac{2v_{0}sin(0)}{g}+v_{0}sin(0))^{2}}\\v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}}=v_{0}

ball B

v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}cos^{2}(45)+(-g\frac{2v_{0}sin(45)}{g}+v_{0}sin(45))^{2}}\\v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}+v_{0}^{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}}\\v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}}=v_{0}

ball C

v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}cos^{2}(-45)+(-g\frac{2v_{0}sin(-45)}{g}+v_{0}sin(-45))^{2}}\\v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}+v_{0}^{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}}\\v=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}}=v_{0}

Hence, all three balls have the same speed just before hit the groug

vA=vB=vC

I hope this is useful for you

Hello.

Some eartquakes are more daminging becasue of the  high frequency. Some earthquakes have higher then others. And the location places with less people have smaller earthqakes then places with a lot.

Why does a rocket have such great momentum even if it is moving at a slow speed?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Rockets provide a wonderful example of Momentum Conservation. As momentum in one direction is given to the rocket's exhaust gases, momentum in the other direction is given to the rocket itself.

Explanation:

First, think of two masses connected by a lightweight (massless!) compressed spring. When the two spring apart, conservation of momentum tells us the Center of Mass remains where it was (or moving as it was).

PTot,i = p1i + p2i = 0 + 0 = 0

PTot,f = p1f + p2f = PTot,i = 0

p1f + p2f = - m1 v1f + m2 v2f = 0
