What is the best description of the acceleration of an object?

A 61.0-kg person jumps from rest off a 10.0-m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance. She comes to rest

9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, law of conservation of energy will be implemented. It states that "the energy of the system remains conserved until or unless some external force act on it. Energy of the system may went through the conversion process like kinetic energy into potential and potential into kinetic energy.But their total always remain the same in conserved systems."

Given data:

Height of tower = 10.0 m

Depth of the pool = 3.00 cm

Mass of person = 61.0 kg

Solution:

Initial energy = Final energy

$U_{i} = (K.E) + U_{f}$

As the person was at height initially so it has the potential energy only.

$mg(h_{1} +h_{2}) = K.E + mgh_{2}$

$K.E = mgh_{1}$

$K.E = (61.0)(9.8)(10)\\K.E = 5978 J$

Lets find out the magnitude of the force that the water is exerting on the diver.

W =ΔK.E

$F.h_{2} = 5978\\$

$F = \frac{5978}{3}$

F = 1992.67 N

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The aufbau principle

The Pauli exclusion principle

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity

Explanation:

The aufbau principle:

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

The Pauli exclusion principle:

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers. Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible. Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy the same orbital.

20% Part (a) Use an "E Field Sensor" and move it along either equipotential. What can you say about the E field along an equipot

Alex

Answer:

b. Constant magnitude, but varying direction, perpendicular to the equipotential.

Explanation:

As we know that the relation between electric field and electric potential is given as

$\Delta E = -\frac{dV}{dr}$
