A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 4700 MJ with respect to Eart

h's surface and a kinetic energy of 4800 MJ . Later in its orbit the satellite's potential energy is 6000 MJ .
Use conservation of energy to find its kinetic energy at that point.

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

during satellite motion we know that total energy is always conserved

so here we will have

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

here we know that

KE_i = 4800 MJ

PE_i = 4700 MJ

now at other position

PE_f = 6000 MJ

now from above equation we have

4800 +4700 = 6000 + KE

now we have

9500 = 6000 + KE

KE = 9500 - 6000 = 3500 MJ

so its kinetic energy will be 3500 MJ

a nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm. how many photons are in the pulse?
Wewaii [24]

A nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm and has 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons in the pulse.

<h3>How many photons are in the pulse?</h3>

Energy of a single photon is

E=hcλ

E=6.626×10⁻³⁴ J s×3×108 m/s /340×10⁻⁹ m

E=6.31×10⁻¹⁹  J

Number of photons in the laser is

n=Total Energy/Energy per photon

n=10⁷×10⁻³J /5.90×10⁻¹⁹J/photon

n= 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons

Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has
Vikentia [17]
Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.

Sometimes students are taught that "air expands as it is heated". And sometimes they are taught that "as air expands it cools".
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Both are true under specific circumstances. And are related to Boyle's law. volume and pressure in a gas are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

There is a tendency to entropy in our reality, that is, in particular true and visible with gases, they tend to occupy the whole space where they are confined, when we heat a volume of gas, then the movement of the particles and in consequence the pressure of the gas increases and to compensate this the volume tends to be increased too, according to Boyle's law. And the opposite happens when the volume is increased, then the pressure is  relieved and since the particles are further one from each other, then the temperature is lower, and therefore it cools down.
