<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The different atoms have different quantized energy levels

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The atoms of different elements have different energy levels because they have different nuclear charges and spins, and different numbers of electrons.
Each different kind of atom, like hydrogen or radon, has a distinct nuclear charge and number of electrons. This makes the potential energy function different for each atom, and therefore results in different energy levels.
In an emmission spectra, each bright band corresponds to a difference between energy levels within the atom.

How do you think scientists figure out what they think the population will be in 2050?

laila [671]

They would most likely use statistics on the increase/decrease in population from previous decades and centuries. In addition to these statistics, they could use the birth and death rate and ultimately predict the increase within these next 30 years. They must also take climate change and other environmental factors into consideration when formulating such a bold prediction.

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is $t=0.00129 s$

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

$m=mass\ of\ ball$

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum $P_i=m\times u$

Final momentum $P_f=m\times v$

Change in momentum $\Delta P=P_i-P_f$

Impulse $J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P$

$J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)$

$F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N$

The denizens of a distant planet live under an atmosphere made predominantly of CO2 which is a dispersive medium while attending

LuckyWell [14K]

Since the frequency of sound in a medium is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

<h3>What is a dispersive medium?</h3>

A dispersive medium is a medium which spreads out or disperses a substance passing through it.

Since CO2 is a dispersive medium, it means sound waves passing through it would be dispersed based on wavelength.

The note of a sound depends on its frequency, the higher the frequency, the higher the note.

Frequency of sound is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.
