<h2>Answer: True </h2><h2></h2>

Each atom emits or absors electromagnetic radiation, but only in some frequencies that are characteristic of its chemical element.

Now, if we supply energy in the form of heat (thermal energy) to a certain element in its gas phase, this will be stimulated and its atoms will emit radiation in certain frequencies of the visible spectrum, which constitute its <u>emission spectrum</u>.

If the same element, also in gaseous state, receives electromagnetic radiation, it absorbs in certain frequencies of the visible spectrum, <u>precisely the same ones in which it emits when it is stimulated by heat</u>. This will be its <u>absorption spectrum.</u>

<h2>This means that every element absorbs radiation in the same wavelengths in which it emits it. </h2>

The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

$v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}$

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

$\Delta s$ , the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: $\Delta s=y_2 -y_1$

$\Delta t$ , the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: $\Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1$
