<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.

George walks to a friend's house. He walks 850 meters north before he realizes he walked too far.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this problem we are expected to calculate the velocity of Georges movements.

Given data

Total distance covered by George= 850+250= 1100 meters

Time taken by George to cover the total distance= 25 seconds

We know that velocity is, v= distance/ time

Therefore substituting our data into the expression for velocity we have

v= 1100/ 25= 44 m/s

Hence the velocity in m/s is 44

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, $qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}$

$1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}$

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

$(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}$

v = $sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}$

= 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

Which mixtures could be separated using evaporation? Check all that apply. fat in milk salt in ocean water mud in pond water but

salantis [7]

I would go with salt in ocean water as when you heat it and the water begins to evaporate it will leave the salt behind

Also water in mud as the water would evaporate and leave the mud residue behind
