Move from higher to lower energy levels

Bumek [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Electrons move from higher energy level to lower energy level emitting light

Explanation:

Neon is a noble gas and inert in nature which means that it doesn't form bonds with any other atom but if enough electric voltage is applied to it electrons from it will be excited and move to high energy states although momentarily. When these electrons come back to their original energy states they release the excess energy in form of photons which is seen by us as the light coming from the neon light sources.

Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

Suppose you pour 0.250 kg of 20.0°C water into a 0.600 kg aluminum pan off the stove with a temperature of 173°C. Assume that th

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of water, $m_w=0.25\ kg$

initial temperature of water, $T_i_w=20^{\circ}C$

initial temperature of pan, $T_i_p=173^{\circ}C$

mass of pan, $m_p=0.6\ kg$

mass of water evapourated, $m_v=0.03\ kg$

specific heat of water, $c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of aluminium pan, $c_a=900\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

latent heat of vapourization, $L=2256000\ J.kg^{-1}$

<u>Using the equation of heat:</u>

<em>Here, initially certain mass of water is vapourised first and then the remaining mass of water comes in thermal equilibrium with the pan.</em>

$m_p.c_a.(T_{ip}-T_f)=m_v.L+(m_w-m_v).c_w.(T_f-T_{iw})$

$0.6\times 900\times (173-T_f)=0.03\times 2256000+(0.25-0.03)\times 4186\times (T_f-20)$

$T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C$

Find its moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through the midpoint of the line connecting its

antoniya [11.8K]

A) Moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point where the two segments meet : $I_A=\frac{1}{12} M L^2$

B) Moment of inertia passing through the point where the midpoint of the line connects to its two ends: $I x=\frac{1}{3} M L^2$

What is Moment of inertia?

The term "moment of inertia" refers to a physical quantity that quantifies a body's resistance to having its speed of rotation along an axis changed by the application of a torque (turning force). The axis might be internal or exterior, fixed or not.

A) The moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point where the two segments meet is $I_A=\frac{1}{12} M L^2$ given that the rod is bent at the center and distance from all the points to the axis remains the same, the moment of inertia about the center will remain the same.

B) Determine the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point midpoint of the line which connects the two ends

First step: determine the distance between the ends ( d )

After applying Pythagoras theorem $\mathrm{d}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} L$

Next step : determine distance between the two axis $(\mathrm{x})$

After applying Pythagoras theorem

$\mathrm{x}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} L$$$

Final step : Calculate the value of $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{x}}$

applying Parallel Axis Theorem

$I_x=I_8+M x^2$

$\begin{aligned}& =\frac{1}{12} M L^2+\frac{1}{4} M L^2 \\& \therefore \quad I x=\frac{1}{3} M L^2 \\&\end{aligned}$

Hence we can conclude that Moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point where the two segments meet: $I_A=\frac{1}{12} M L^2$ , Moment of inertia passing through the point where the midpoint of the line connects its two ends: $I x=\frac{1}{3} M L^2$

Three quarterbacks challenged each other to a throwing competition. They want to see who can throw the ball the furthest. What S

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Meter

Explanation:

The competition between the three quarterbacks is with respect to how far the ball would be thrown by each person, which is the distance covered by the ball. The thrown ball is an example of projectile, which would move over a certain distance.

With respect to the measure to be used in the competition, the appropriate SI unit is meter. This is the measure of length or distance covered.

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.
