Answer: a) 4.32 MJ ; b)  0.32%

Explanation: In order to solve this question we have to consider that power consume to full charge the battery is I*V

so we have 100 A-hours* 12 V = 1200 W*hours ( J*hour/s)

To convert to Joules

we have to multiply by 3600 ( seconds per hour) the Total energy stored in  the battery is:

E= 1200 J/s* 3600 s= 4.32 MJ

To compare with the energy of 9 gallon petrol tank  ( 1350 MJ)

%= E electric/ Epetrol= (4.32 MJ/(1350 MJ))*100%=0.32 %

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of
Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

E = \frac{mg}{q}

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

q = \frac{mg}{E}

Replacing,

q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}

q = 3.002*10^{-12}C

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

q = ne

Here,

n = Number of electrons

e = Charge of each electron

n = \frac{q}{e}

Replacing,

n = \frac{3.002*10^{-12}}{1.6*10^{-19}}

n = 2.44*10^7

Therefore the number of electrons that reside on the drop is 2.44*10^7

Under what circumstances can energy level transitions occur?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)

Explanation:

Energy level transition occur when light rays strikes a metal surface to emit electron from the surface, a term known as photoelectric effect. This amount of electron emitted from the surface depends on the speed of light ray striking the metal surface.

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)
