An atom emits a photon when one of its electrons:

Physics

4 0

Answer:

undergoes a transition to a quantum state of lower energy

Explanation:

When electrons in an atom move to another quantum state, they emit/absorb a photon according to the following:

- If the electron is moving to a higher energy state, it absorbs a photon (because it needs energy to move to a higher energy level, so it must absorb the energy of the photon)

- if the electron is moving to a lower energy state, it emits a photon (because it releases the excess energy)

In particular, the energy of the absorbed/emitted photon is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels of the electron transition:

E=|E_1 - E_2|

Mass (kg) 4.0
densk [106]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we can find the acceleration the object by using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma

where

F = 20.0 N is the net force applied on the object

m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

Solving for a, we find

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{20}{4}=5.0 m/s^2

Now we know that the motion of the object is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find its final velocity by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a=5.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 5 s is the time

By substituting,

v=0+(5.0)(5)=25 m/s

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

What is a device that minimizes the force on a microscopic object during a collision?
liraira [26]
An impact which stops a moving object must do enough work to take away its kinetic energy, so extending the distance moved during the collision reduces the impact force.
