<span>Current theory is that electrons in an atom can have only certain energy states. Materials absorb these frequencies whose energies are equal to difference between energy states available for a particular atom or a molecule. 
The problem with quantum mechanics is that there is no way to verify its claims.</span><span>

Answer:

The maximum height that a cannonball fired at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angles is 5740.48m.

hmax = 5740.48 m

Explanation:

This is an example of parabolic launch. A cannonball is fired on flat ground at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angle and we have to calculate the maximum height that it reach.

V₀ = 420m/s and θ₀ = 53.0°

So, when the cannonball is fired it has horizontal and vertical components:

V₀ₓ = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 252.76 m/s

V₀y = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 335.43m/s

When the cannoball reach the maximum height the vertical velocity component is zero, that happens in a tₐ time:

Vy = V₀y - g tₐ = 0

tₐ = V₀y/g

tₐ = (335.43m/s)/(9.8m/s²) = 34.23s

Then, the maximum height is reached in the instant tₐ = 34.23s:

h = V₀y tₐ - 1/2g tₐ²

hmax = (335.43m/s)(34.23s)-1/2(9.8m/s²)(34.23s)²

hmax = 11481.77m - 5741.29m

hmax = 5740.48m

A cyclist is riding his bike up a mountain trail. When he starts up the trail , he is going 8 m/s. As the trail gets steeper, he
Mrac [35]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

Our cyclist's change in speed = (3 m/s) - (8 m/s) = -5 m/s

Acceleration = (-5 m/s) / (60 seconds)

<em>Acceleration = -1/12 m/s²</em>
