The number that describes the main energy level of an electron in an atom is

Physics
1 answer:
Otrada [13]4 years ago

Answer:

the principal quantum number (n)

Explanation:

Quantum numbers are found in the mathematical description given to each orbital (Schrödinger's wave equation). Schrödinger is the 5th atomic model and it seeks to describe the characteristics of all the electrons in an atom. These digits are represented by letters and each of them indicates the position and energy of each of them.

The main quantum number always has integer and positive numbers and allows us to know the energy level of the orbital as well as its size. N determines the measure of the orbital, so the greater the probability of finding an electron near the nucleus of an atone, the energy of the orbital increases. All those groups of orbitals that share the same value of N are known as level or layer.

The values ​​that the main quantum number (n) can adopt can be positive integers such as: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

A car drives at a constant speed of 3m/s around a circle with radius 20m. What is the centripetal acceleration of the car
Kaylis [27]
Centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circle. It is given by the square of velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path. 
ac = v²/r, where ac is the centripetal acceleration in m/s²
Therefore, 
Centripetal acceleration = 3²/20m
                           = 9/20m
                            = 0.45 m/s²
Thus, the centripetal acceleration is 0.45 m/s²

Two identical cars are driving in opposite directions at the same speed. Their kinetic energies have _______________.
Viktor [21]

Answer: The right answer is c.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is defined as follows:

K = 1/2 mv²

If both cars are identical, this means that they have the same mass.

Also, we are told that the speed is also the same for both cars.

If they are going in opposite directions, their velocities have the same magnitude, but opposite signs.

But even though they have different signs, the square (which is the parameter relevant for kinetic energy calculations), is always positive, as any number, elevated to an even power, is positive.

So, we conclude that both cars have the same kinetic energy, in magnitude and in sign.
