Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

Consider a Hydrogen atom with the electron in the n 8 shell. What is the energy of this system? (The magnitude of the ground sta
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The energy of an electron in the 8th shell is given by:  -0.2125 eV

The number of subshells is:  8

The number of orbitals is:  64

The number of electrons that fit on this shell is: 128

Explanation:

First, we find the energy of the electrons in the 8th shell. In order to do this, we recall that the energy of an electron (in the Hydrogen atom) whose principal number is n is given by:

E_{n}=-13.6\frac{1}{n^{2}}

Substituting n=8, we find that the energy is given by:

E_{8} = -13.6\frac{1}{8^{2}}=-0.2125

In order to find the number of subshells we recall that, for a given principal quantum number n, the possible values of the quantum number l, which corresponds to the number of subshells are:

0, 1, 2, ... , n-1

Since n = 8 in our problem, the possible values of l are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Therefore, the number of subshells are 8.

Now we continue with the number of orbitals. For every subshell l, we have 2l+1 possible values of m, which correspond to the orbitals. Since the possible values of l are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, therefore, we have to perform the sum:

\sum_{l=0}^{7}(2l+1) = 8^2=64

And we can conclude that the number of orbitals is equal to 64.

Finally, we know that we can fit two electrons per orbital, therefore we can have 64*2 = 128 electrons in the shell corresponding to n=8.

In creating an accurate scale model of our solar system, Lana placed Earth 1 foot from the Sun. The actual distance from Earth t
miskamm [114]

Pluto would be placed 39.74 feet far from the Sun.

Astronomers use the gap between Earth and the sun, which is ninety-three million miles, as a new unit of measure called the Astronomical Unit.

Map scale refers to the connection (or ratio) between the space on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:one hundred thousand scale map, 1cm at the map equals 1km on the ground.

The distance between the earth and solar, a = around 150 million km, is defined as one Astronomical Unit (AU). The radius of the solar, the solar is around 700,000 km.
