Ad libitum [116K]4 years ago

How interesting that you described it as a "fall" to a
"lower energy" level.  You picked up that description
from hearing it used somewhere before. 

It's an accurate description, and it's a big hint to the answer.

When an object falls from a higher to a lower place,
it gives up gravitational potential energy, and then
it has less of it.  If it wants to return to the height
where it was before, somebody has to come along
and do work on it to lift it, and give it back the energy
it needs to be up at that height.
 
Same with your electron.  The farther it is from the
nucleus, the more potential energy it has ... only
it's electrical, not gravitational. 
If the electron emits (gives out) some energy, then it
"falls" to a lower orbit / lower energy level.
Then, If somebody comes along and gives it
more energy, it can rise to a higher orbit / higher
energy level.
And if they give it enough energy, then it can
escape from the atom all together !

A ferry is travelling at 10 m/s relative to the river towards the south. The river is flowing at 2 m/s relative to
mixer [17]

Answer:

11 m/s south

Explanation:

The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.

v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank

If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:

v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)

v = -11 m/s

v = 11 m/s south

Compared with those who live in the lowlands, people who live in the Southeast highlands experience​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The territory of Scotland was divided into two parts -- the highlands and the lowlands.

Explanation:

The people living in places of high altitudes are called highlanders. These high altitude places are called high lands and places with low elevations or altitudes are called the low lands. There are many differences between the two places and people experiences different difficulties in these places.

Some of the differences are :

The life of the people living in high lands are much more tougher than those living in the low lands. The highlanders have to work more hard than lowlanders.

The agricultural activities are more flourished in the low lands than in the high lands.

The low lands are more populated and highly industrialized than the high lands. Iron and steel industry, metal working industry and agriculture are some of the main industries of lowlands. They are the land of the Scottish nation.

A solid steel column is 4.0 m long and 0.20 m in diameter. Young's modulus for this steel is 2.0 × 1011 N/m2. By what distance d
zzz [600]

Answer:

3.12 x 10^-5 m

Explanation:

Length of steel column, L = 4 m

diameter, d = 0.2 m

radius = half of diameter = 0.1 m

Young's modulus, Y = 2 x 10^11 N/m^2

Mass of truck, m = 5000 kg

Force, F = mass of truck x acceleration due to gravity

F = 5000 x 9.8 = 49000 N

Area of crossection of cable,

A =  \pi r^{2}=3.14\times\0.1\times0.1=0.0314m^{2}

Let ΔL be the shrink in length of cable, then by the formula of Young's modulus

Y=\frac{F\times L}{A\times\Delta L}

\Delta L = \frac{F\times L}{A\times Y}

\Delta L = \frac{49000\times 4}{0.0314\times 2\times10^{11}}

ΔL = 3.12 x 10^-5 m

Thus, the shrink in the length of cable is 3.12 x 10^-5 m.

It would take almost 2 years for the fastest human-made spacecraft to travel from earth to europa. about how long would it take
worty [1.4K]
First, we need the distance of Europe and Wolf-359 from Earth.
- The distance of Europe from Earth is: d_E = 6.28 \cdot 10^8 km
- The distance of Wolf-359 from Earth is instead 7.795 light years. However, we need to convert this number into km. 1 light year is the distance covered by the light in 1 year. Keeping in mind that the speed of light is c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, and that in 1 year there are 
365 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 3.154 \cdot 10^7 s/y, the distance between Wolf-359 and Earth is
d_W = 7.995 ly\cdot3\cdot 10^8 m/s \cdot 3.154 \cdot 10^7 s=7.38 \cdot 10^{16}m=7.38 \cdot 10^{13}km

Now we can calculate the time the spaceship needs to go to Wolf-359, by writing a simple proportion. In fact, we know that the spaceship takes 2 years to cover d_E, so
2 y:d_E = x:d_W
from which we find x, the time needed to reach Wolf-359:
x= \frac{2 y\cdot d_W}{d_E}=2.35 \cdot 10^5 years
