When the hydrogen atom makes the transition from the n=2 to the n=1 energy level, it emits a photon. This photon can be absorbed

by to a singly ionized helium atom (He+) in its second energy level (ninitial=2), causing it to move to a higher energy level. To what final energy level number nfinal can the photon promote the helium ion?
Note that He+ has two protons in its nucleus and a single electron.

Answer:

n_{fn}= 4

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use Bohr's atomic model

               E_{n} = - 13.606 / n²     [eV]

The transition from level n = 2 to level n = 1 is valid

               E_{21} = - 13.606 [¼ -1/1]

               E_{21} = 10.2045 eV

Bohr's model for atoms with only one electron is

               E_{n} = -13.606 Z² / n²

Where Z is the atomic number of the atom.

In this case the helium atom has an atomic number of Z = 2 from the level n₀ = 2 let's look up to what level it reaches

         ΔE = -13.606 [4 /  n_{fn}² - 4/4]

         4 / n_{fn}² = -ΔE / 13.606 + 1

         4 / n_{fn}² = -10.2045 / 13.606 +1 = -0.75 +1

         4 / n_{fn}² = 0.25

        n_{fn} = √ 4 / 0.25

        n_{fn}= 4

When we apply the energy conversation principle to a cylinder rolling down an incline without sliding, we exclude the work done
NikAS [45]

Answer:

D. the linear velocity of the point of contact (relative to the inclined surface) is zero

Explanation:

The force of friction emerges only when there is relative velocity between two objects . In case of perfect rolling , there is no sliding so relative velocity between the surface and the point of contact is zero . In other words the velocity of point of contact becomes zero , even though , the whole body is in linear motion . It happens due  point of contact having two velocities which are equal and opposite . One of the velocity is in forward direction and the other velocity which is due to rotation is in backward direction . So net velocity of point of contact becomes zero . Due to absence of sliding , displacement due to friction  becomes zero . Hence work done by friction becomes zero.

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 x 10-3 cm kg x m/s. Express this as provided or use any equivalent unit. How i
Leno4ka [110]

Complete Question:

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer:

7.2 gm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Given the following data;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 kgm/s

1 kg = 1000 g

Substituting the unit in kilograms with grams, we have;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 * 1000 gm/s

<em>Momentum = 7.2 gm/s. </em>
