Answer: Neither salt or water are magnetized.

Explanation: The best way to separate salt and water is to boil the mixture. If you wanted to use a magnet you would need something magnetized, like iron fillings.

Why does the emission spectrum of hydrogen or unknown source have a distinct line spectrum instead of a continuous one?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer

When an electron makes transition from a state of higher energy to a state of lower energy it does so by emitting energy in form of radiation in the visible spectrum of light.

Since the basic postulates of the atomic theory is that the energy that the electron possess in it's orbit's takes only discrete values and cannot take any random value thus when an electron makes a transition from a state of higher energy to state of lower energy it will emit radiation with energy equal to difference between the energy levels of the 2 orbit's thus we only observe discrete lines.

Mathematically when an electron makes a transition between states the wavelength of light it releases is given by

\frac{1}{\lambda }=R_{\infty }(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}})

where R_{\infty } is Rydberg constant

n_{1} is upper energy level

n_{2} is lower energy level

thus we can see that only discrete wavelength's are released and not continuous wavelength's of light.

<h2>The different forces acting on the ball while its in air</h2>

Amy throws a softball through the air. Applied, drag and gravitational forces are acting on the ball while it’s in the air. The softball experiences force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences from the air it passes through.

It also experiences a downward pull because earth has the property to attract everything which is on the earth towards it. The ball is moving in the air but earth applies force on the ball to get back on the ground. Hence, in this way, gravitational force applies.

There is also a drag force which results due to friction that is present in the air. It resist to move ball in the air and there will also be applied force which is given by a person who throws by applying force.

An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

A 0.150-kg cart that is attached to an ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 3.58 N/m undergoes simple harmoni
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E = 0.01 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 0.15 kg

The force constant of the spring, k = 3.58 N/m

The amplitude of the oscillations, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

We need to find the total mechanical energy of the system. It can be given by the formula as follows :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Put all the values,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.58\times (0.075)^2\\\\=0.01\ J

So, the value of total mechanical energy is equal to 0.01 J.
