E = hf, and h is the Planck's constant. When larger frequency is needed, more energy will also be needed. Since the blue light has the higher frequency, it would be the<span> level X to Y's transition which is the one that has the highest energy difference.

Riding in a car, you suddenly put on the brakes. As you experience it inside the car, do Newton's law apply? Do they apply as se
alisha [4.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

Newton's laws are applicable for inertial frames of reference which is a frame which is not accelerating when seen from the observer standing on earth.

For the person as he presses the brakes his frame is a decelerating frame of reference hence he cannot apply the newtons laws of motion as they are in their original form but if he analyses the motion he has to apply a correction known as  pseudo-force on the object he is analyzing. Pseudo Force has no basis in newton's laws but are a correction that needs to be applied if he wishes to analyse the motion from non inertial frame of reference

While as a person standing on earth outside the car since his frame is an inertial frame of reference he can apply newton's laws of motion without any correction.

The electric potential at the surface of a charged conductor _______.
frez [133]

Answer:

The electric potential at the surface of a charged conductor<u> is always such that the potential is zero at all points inside the conductor.</u>

Explanation:

Each point on the surface of a balanced charged conductor has the same electrical potential.

The surface on any charged conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is an equipotential surface. Since the electric field is equal to zero inside the conductor, the electric potential at any point inside and on the surface is equivalent to its value.

In a few sentences, compare and contrast pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors.
kondaur [170]
For pressurized water reactors the coolant is not permitted to boil in the core of the PRW, however the coolant in boiling water reactors is permitted to do so in the core of BWR. Pressurized water reactors have an indirect cycle. Whereas, the boiling water reactors go through a direct cycle. Both are light water reactors.

How would a spinning disk's kinetic energy change if its moment of inertia was five times larger but its angular speed was five
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

<em>The kinetic energy of a spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Let us first consider the initial characteristics of the angular motion of the disk

moment of inertia = I

angular speed = ω

For the second case, we consider the characteristics to now be

moment of inertia = 5I  (five times larger)

angular speed = ω/5  (five times smaller)

Recall that the kinetic energy of a spinning body is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}

therefore,

for the first case, the K.E. is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}

and for the second case, the K.E. is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}(5I)(\frac{w}{5} )^{2}   = \frac{5}{50}Iw^{2}

KE = \frac{1}{10}Iw^{2}

<em>this is one-tenth the kinetic energy before its spinning characteristics were changed.</em>

<em>This implies that the kinetic energy of the spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.</em>
