Answer:

n=5, l=1, m(l) = -1, m(s)= + 1/2

Explanation:

Quantum number are used to describe the position and spin of an electron inside an atom. There are four types of quantum number for describing an electron inside an atom. They are: the principal quantum number, spin quantum number, magnetic quantum number and angular momentum quantum number.

(1).PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER: denoted by n, and has possible values of n= 1,2,3,4,.... IN HERE, n= 5

(2).ANGULAR MOMENTUM QUANTUM NUMBER: it is denoted by l, and has possible values of l= 0,1,2,3,...,(n-1).

Our l here is one( that is, s-orbital=0, p-orbital=1, d-orbital= 3 and so on)

(3).MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER: The magnetic quantum number, which is denoted by m subscribt l, specifies the exact orbital in which you can find the electron. It has values ranging from -l,...,-1,0,1,...,l.

Here, our value is -1 that is m(l)= -1

(4).SPIN QUANTUM NUMBER: describes the orientation of electrons. Electrons can only have two values here, either a positive one and the half(+1/2) that is the spin up electron or the negative one and half(-1/2) that is the spin down electron.

Can you tell from the coefficient of restitution whether a collision has added kinetic energy to a system, taken some away, or l

Maurinko [17]

For an inelastic collision where coefficient of restitution,e, is equal to 0, the momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy. So, there is addition or elimination of kinetic energy.

On the otherhand, when e = 1, like for an elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Thus, the system's kinetic energy is unchanged.

Answer:

< 25 m/s
triangle inequality
between north and east
45° < angle < 60°

Explanation:

(a) Just as one-dimensional numbers add on a number line by putting them end-to-end, so two-dimensional numbers add on a coordinate plane the same way.

Here, we choose to let the positive y-axis represent North, and the positive x-axis, East. This is the way a map is conventionally oriented. The velocity of the plane is represented by a vector pointing north (up). Its length represents the magnitude of the velocity. Likewise, the wind is represented by a vector of length 15 pointing east (right). The sum of these is the hypotenuse of the triangle they form.

The magnitude of the sum can be found here using the Pythagorean theorem, but for the purpose of this question, you're not asked to find that.

Instead, you're asked to estimate whether it is more or less than 25 (m/s).

Your knowledge of the triangle inequality will tell you that the hypotenuse (resultant) must be shorter than the sum of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, hence must be less than 10+15 = 25.

(b) The triangle inequality says the resultant is less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.

(c) Since the wind is blowing the plane toward the east, but the plane is traveling toward the north, the resulting direction is somewhere between north and east.

(d) "Somewhere between north and east" can be expressed as the inequality ...
