No, as long as nothing moves you aren't doing work, since W=F.s. You have no s, so no W

How are atomic emission spectra like fingerprints for the elements
storchak [24]

Atomic emission spectra are like fingerprints for the elements, because it can show the number of orbits in that elements as well as the energy levels of that element. As each emission of atomic spectra is unique, it is the fingerprint of element.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Each element has unique arrangement of electrons in different energy levels or orbits. So depending upon the difference in energy of the orbital, the emission spectra will be varying for each element. As the binding energy and excitation energy is not common for any two elements, so the spectra obtained when those excited electrons will release energy to ground state will also be unique.

As in atomic emission spectra, the incident light will be absorbed by the electrons of those elements making the electron to excite, then the excited electron will return to ground state on emission of radiation of energy. Thus, this energy of emission is equal to the difference between the energy of initial and final orbital. So the spectra will act like fingerprints for elements.

Answer: The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

kinetic energy of alpha particle is converted into electric potential energy.

1/2 mv² = k q₁q₂/d , d is closest distance

d = 2kq₁q₂ / mv²

= 2 x 9 x 10⁹ x 79e x 2e / 4mv²

= 1422 x2x (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)² x 10⁹ /4x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x (1.5 x 10⁷)²

= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ /2x 3.7575 x 10⁻¹³

= 484.4 x 10⁻¹⁶

=48.4  x 10⁻¹⁵ m

How do we maintain heat in our body ?​
zysi [14]

Answer:

When heat activates sweat glands, these glands bring that water, along with the body's salt, to the surface of the skin as sweat. Once on the surface, the water evaporates. Water evaporating from the skin cools the body, keeping its temperature in a healthy range.

Explanation:

The system can respond to internal and external influences and make adjustments to keep your body within a degree or two of your normal. The hypothalamus and your autonomic nervous system work with your skin, sweat glands, muscles and even your blood vessels to keep your temperature normal. As in other mammals, thermoregulation is an important aspect of human homeostasis. Most body heat is generated in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. Some nuts like peanuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, and dates are also beneficial in winter. These nuts speed up your metabolism and increase your body temperature, eventually making you feel hot.
