How many quantum numbers are needed to describe the energy state of an electron in an atom?

1 answer:

8 0

There are a total of four<span> quantum numbers needed:

1) The principal quantum number (n),
2) The orbital angular momentum quantum number (l),
3) The magnetic quantum number (m</span>l),
4) The electron spin quantum number (ms)

Hope this helps!

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

$\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}$

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,

$K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2}$ = 40 J

The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o

sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, $P_f=20\ J$

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

$P_i=K_f+P_f$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}$

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

A child of mass 40.0 kg is in a roller coaster car that travels in a loop of radius 7.00 m. at point a the speed of the car is 1

pav-90 [236]

I attached the missing picture.
The force of seat acting on the child is a reaction the force of child pressing down on the seat. This is the third Newton's law. The force of a child pressing down the seat and the force of the seat pushing up on the child are the same.
There two forces acting on the child. The first one is the gravitational force and the second one is centrifugal force. In this example, the force of gravity is always pulling down, but centrifugal force always acts away from the center of circular motion.
Part A
For point A we have:
$F_a=F_cf-F_g$
In this case, the forces are aligned, centrifugal is pointing up and gravitational is pulling down.
$F_a=m\frac{v^2}{r}-mg=179 $N$
Part B
At the point, B situation is a bit more complicated. In this case force of gravity and centrifugal force are not aligned. We have to look at y components of this forces, y-axis, in this case, is just pointing upward.
$F=F_{cf}\cos(30)-mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\cos(30)-mg=153.2$N$
Part C
The child will stay in place at point A when centrifugal force and force of gravity are in balance:
$F_g=F_{cf}\\
mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\
gr=v^2\\
v=\sqrt{gr}=8.29\frac{m}{s}$
