A student claims "everything falls at the same acceleration rate on the Moon, where there is no air or friction," how would you

Alexeev081 [22]

Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.

Consider the hydrogen atom. How does the energy difference between adjacent orbit radii change as the principal quantum number i

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the following formula:

$E=-E_0 \frac{1}{n^2}$

where

$E_0 = 13.6 eV$ is a constant

n is the level number

We can write therefore the energy difference between adjacent levels as

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2})$

We see that this difference decreases as the level number (n) increases. For example, the difference between the levels n=1 and n=2 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=-13.6 eV(1-\frac{1}{4})=-13.6 eV(\frac{3}{4})=-10.2 eV$

While the difference between the levels n=2 and n=3 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9})=-13.6 eV(\frac{5}{36})=-1.9 eV$

And so on.

So, the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases.

A rabbit runs 28 m toward the left in 9 s; then the rabbit suddenly changes direction and runs 18 m toward the right in the next

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The answer is 3.111111.

Explanation:

It runs 28 m in the first 9 s, and 28 divided by 9 equals 3.1 and the one goes on forever.
