What do the different colors in a line spectrum represent? why are the spectra for each element unique?
Lana71 [14]
They typically represents different wavelengths of element due to its energy emission in the form of visible light. When an electron of that particular element move from a higher energy level down to a lower energy level, it gives off energy in the form of photon emission. Atom of a certain element has a unique electron arrangement thus it can considered that particular element's spectrum is unique.

The international Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth once every 90 mins at an altitude of 409 km. How high would it have to be
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

It would have to be 36,719 Km high in order to be to be in geosynchronous orbit.

To find the answer, we need to know about the third law of Kepler.

<h3>What's the Kepler's third law?</h3>
  • It states that the square of the time period of orbiting planet or satellite is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit.
  • Mathematically, T²∝a³
<h3>What's the radius of geosynchronous orbit, if the time period and altitude of ISS are 90 minutes and 409 km respectively?</h3>
  • The time period of geosynchronous orbit is 24 hours or 1440 minutes.
  • As the Earth's radius is 6371 Km, so radius of the ISS orbit= 6371km + 409 km = 6780km.
  • If T1 and T2 are time period of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit respectively, a1 and a2 are radius of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit, as per third law of Kepler, (T1/T2)² = (a1/a2)³
  • a1= (T1/T2)⅔×a2

           = (1440/90)⅔×6780

           = 43,090 km

  • Altitude of geosynchronous orbit = 43,090 - 6371= 36,719 km

Thus, we can conclude that the altitude of geosynchronous orbit is 36,719km.

A common pickup for an electric guitar consists of a coil of wire around a small permanent magnet, as described in Figure 25.5.
Orlov [11]
Guitar pickups are tiny coils with magnets inside them and they work via  the principal of electromagnetic inductance. The metal strings vibrate within the magnetic field of the pickup which generates an electrical current. Since nylon is not a metal, it will not cause <span>fluctuations in that magnetic field. Hope this answer helps.</span>

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul
ozzi
The correct answer is 
B It increases.

In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass and proportional to the square of the speed: in this problem, the speed of the object remains the same, while its mass increases, therefore the kinetic energy will increase as well.
