Describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and several observations which support this model.

This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

1) Average speed

2) Displacement

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}

where

d is the distance covered

\Delta t is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval \Delta t.

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta x is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

\Delta t is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.

Please help me to do this problem
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

we got time and velocity over time.

so the distance is again the area underneath the graph

for a triangle with known base and height it's

4*10 / 2

distance traveled is 20

deceleration occurs when velocity decreases. that happens from t=2 till t=4

in 2 time-units we loose 10 units of velocity, so we decelerate by 5 units per 1 time

a (from t=2 to t=4) = -5v/t
