<span>Yes, the vast majority of an atom is indeed empty space. Most of it's mass is centered in the nucleus. Flying around the nucleus are the electrons, but they're very very far away (on an atomic level anyway). Most of the atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.</span>

True because there is a lot of space between the nucleus and the electrons of the atom

A local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 696 KHz. Calculate the energy of the frequency at which it is broadcasting

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$E=4.61\times 10^{-28}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of local AM radio station, f = 696 KHz = 696000 Hz

We need to find the energy of the frequency at which it is broadcasting.

We know that,

Energy of a wave, E = hf

Where

h is Planck's constant

Put all the values,

$E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 696000\\\\=4.61\times 10^{-28}\ J$

So, the energy of the wave is equal to $4.61\times 10^{-28}\ J$ .

A ball is falling after rolling off a tall roof<br> The ball has what type of energy.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Linear and rotational Kinetic Energy + Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

The ball rolls off a tall roof and starts falling.

Let us first consider the potential energy or more specifically gravitational potential energy ( $mgh$ ; $m$ = mass of the ball, $g$ = acceleration due to gravity, $h$ = height of the roof). This energy comes because someone or something had to do work to take the ball to the top of the roof against the force of gravity. The potential energy is naturally maximum at the top and minimum when the ball finally reaches the ground.

Now, the ball starts to roll and falls off the roof. It shall continue rotating because of inertia (Newton's first law). This contributes to the rotational kinetic energy ( $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ ; $I$ =moment of inertia of the ball & $\omega$ = angular velocity).
