What is a electron orbit?

2 answers:

7 0

Electrons occupy shells around the nucleus of an atom. Electrons move in every direction, but they are limited to their own area, or the orbit that the electron follows, which is what we call shells. Within each shell, there are sub-shells. ... Orbitals are regions within an atom that the electron will most likely occupy.

The displacement in simple harmonic motion is a maximum when the 1. velocity is a maximum. 2. kinetic energy is a maximum. 3. ve

dlinn [17]

Answer:

3. velocity is zero.

Explanation:

The velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given by

$v = \omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2}$

Here, ω is the angular velocity, A is the amplitude (or maximum displacement from the equilibrium point) and x is the displacement at any time.

At maximum displacement, x = A. Then

$v = \omega\sqrt{A^2-A^2} = 0$

Therefore, at maximum displacement, velocity is 0.

Practically, this can be observed in a simple pendulum. As it approaches the maximum displacement, its velocity reduces. It becomes zero at this point and then reverses as the pendulum changes course. Then the velocity begins to increase. It becomes maximum at the equilibrium point but once past that, the velocity begins to reduce as it approaches the other amplitude.

For acceleration,

$a = -\omega^2x$

It follows that at maximum displacement, the acceleration is a maximum. The negative sign indicates that it is in an opposite direction to the displacement. Both kinetic energy ( $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ ) and linear momentum ( $mv$ ) are proportional to velocity; they are therefore both zero at the maximum displacement.

Alnilam is the brightest star

Absolute brightness is how bright the star actually is. Apparent brightness is how bright the star looks.

Factors that influence how bright a star looks is distance. The fact that Alnilam has the same apparent brightness of the other two stars even though it is farther away, means that it is brighter.

If a scuba diver fills his lungs to full capacity of 5.5 L when 10 m below the surface, to what volume would his lungs expand if

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 5.5 L

Height = 10 m

Density of sea water= 1025 kg/m³

We need to calculate the pressure at that point

Using formula of pressure

$P'=P+\rho gh$

Put the value into the formula

$P'=1.01\times10^{5}+1025\times9.8\times10$

$P'=201450\ Pa$

We need to calculate the volume at the surface

Using equation of ideal gas

$PV= RT$

So, for both condition

$PV=P'V'$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\dfrac{201450\times5.5}{1.01\times10^{5}}$

$V=10.97\ L$

Hence, The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.

likoan [24]

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

$\theta$ =22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

$22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians$

From Rayleigh Criterion

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m$

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.
