<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.5 m/s²

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Force as 60 N

Mass of the Cart as 40 kg

We are required to calculate the acceleration of the cart.

  • From the newton's second law of motion, the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force.
  • That is, F = ma , where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

Rearranging the formula we can calculate acceleration, a

a = F ÷ m

  = 60 N ÷ 40 kg

  = 1.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 1.5 m/s²

The sun appears to move through the background stars. This apparent motion would not exist if:_________.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

b) the earth did not orbit the sun

Explanation:

The sun appears to move through the background stars due to parallax . Parallax is a phenomenon when the near object appears to move faster than the distant object . If we travel in a train , the near object like electric poles on rail track or trees and fields nearby appear to move faster against the distant background .

Hence when the earth moves around the sun , the sun appears to move against the background the stars which are far away . Had earth remained stationary at a place on its orbit around the sun , the sun would have appeared stationary against the background the   stars .

I got the correct answer, but I don't know what I did. Why is the answer E?
MariettaO [177]

Explanation:

Displacement is the straight line distance from the starting position to the final position.

Person X walks halfway around circle.  So her displacement is 100 m.

Person Y walks 3/4 of the way around.  So his displacement is 50√2 m ≈ 70.7 m.

Person Z walks completely around the circle, so their displacement is 0 m.

Therefore:

Z < Y < X

When a wave enters a new medium from an angle, both the speed and the ________ change
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

B: Amplitude

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to the other from an angle, the things that change are amplitude, wavelength, intensity and velocity.

The frequency doesn't change because the frequency depends upon the source of the wave and not the medium by which the wave is propagated.

Of the following transitions in the Bohr hydrogen atom, the ________ transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The <em><u>n = 2 → n = 3</u></em> transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.

Explanation:

E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev

Formula used for the radius of the n^{th} orbit will be,

where,

E_n = energy of n^{th} orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number

Here: Z = 1 (hydrogen atom)

Energy of the first orbit in H atom .

E_1=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{1^2} eV=-13.6 eV

Energy of the second orbit in H atom .

E_2=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-3.40 eV

Energy of the third orbit in H atom .

E_3=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(9)^2} eV=-1.51 eV

Energy of the fifth orbit in H atom .

E_5=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.544 eV

Energy of the sixth orbit in H atom .

E_6=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.378 eV

Energy of the seventh orbit in H atom .

E_7=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-278 eV

During an absorption of energy electron jumps from lower state to higher state.So,  absorption will take place in :

1) n = 2 → n = 3

2) n=  5 → n = 6

Energy absorbed when: n = 2 → n = 3

E=E_3-E_2

E=(-1.51 eV) -(-3.40 eV)=1.89 eV

Energy absorbed when: n = 5 → n = 6

E'=E_6-E_5

E'=(-0.378 eV)-(-0.544 eV) =0.166 eV

1.89 eV > 0.166 eV

E> E'

So,the n = 2 → n = 3 transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.
