"Which of the following statements about electrons is not true?

Physics
1 answer:
gogolik [260]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B) Within an atom, an electron can have only particular energies.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons have energy but apart from electrons we know that protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of atom will also have energy in them.

rest all the statements are true as we have

A) Electrons orbit the nucleus rather like planets orbiting the Sun.

TRUE, because electrons can move in stationary orbit around the nucleus

C) Electrons can jump between energy levels in an atom only if they receive or give up an amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the energy levels.

Difference amount of energy is lost or absorbed by the electron in form of photons

D) An electron has a negative electrical charge.

Charge of an electron is given as -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

E) Electrons have very little mass compared to protons or neutrons

Mass of an electron is given as

m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

mass of proton or neutron

m_p = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

Why is Tycho Brahe often called “the greatest naked-eye astronomer” of all time?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:Explained Below

Explanation:

Tycho Brahe saw a super nova which inspired him to study astronomy.His observations are 5 times more accurate than other astronomers of his time   and thus he was given a private island to study about astronomy  .He made most accurate naked eye measurements ever.

So he can be said to be the "greatest naked eye astronomer of all time"

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/
Katen [24]
<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (1)

Where:

y  is the instrument's final position  

y_{o}=0  is the instrument's initial position

V_{o}=15m/s is the instrument's initial velocity

t is the time the parabolic movement lasts

g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know y_{o}=0  and y=0 when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (2)

Finding t:

0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})   (3)

t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}   (4)

t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}   (5)

Finally:

t=12s

A ball is held at a height H above a floor. It is then released and falls to the floor. If air resistance can be ignored, which
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Straight line graph attached showing mechanical energy on x-axis and altitude y on y-axis

Explanation:

As mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy, the ball at a height H possesses potential energy= m.g.H

and Kinetic energy= 0.

But the sum of both energies is equal to m.g.H.

When the ball starts moving, the height starts to decrease and potential energy also decreases with decreasing y. On the other hand kinetic energy starts increasing with decreasing Y. But their sum remains constant i.e equal to mechanical energy. It remains same until the ball touches the ground. The graph attached shows height H or altitude y on x-axis and Mechanical Energy on y-axis. It shows a straight horizental line showing that mechanical energy remains same as y decreases.
