What is light energy
Oliga [24]
Light energy is defined as how nature moves energy at an extremely rapid rate, and it makes up about 99% of the body's atoms and cells, and signal all body parts to carry out their respective tasks. An example of light energy is the movement of a radio signal.

A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}

\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}

\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

After the box comes to rest at position x1, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v1. when the box reaches position
KiRa [710]

As we know by work energy theorem

total work done = change in kinetic energy

so here we can say that wok done on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system

W_p = KE_f - KE_i

initial the box is at rest at position x = x1

so initial kinetic energy will be ZERO

at final position x = x2 final kinetic energy is given as

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

now work done is given as

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - 0

so we can say

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

so above is the work done on the box to slide it from x1 to x2

An electron in the n = 7 level of the hydrogen atom relaxes to a lower energy level, emitting light of 397 nm. what is the value
Dimas [21]

Answer:

n_f=2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initially, the electron is in n = 7 energy level. When it relaxes to a lower energy level, emitting light of 397 nm. We need to find the value of n for the level to which the electron relaxed. It can be calculate using the formula as :

\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2})

\dfrac{1}{397\times 10^{-9}\ m}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{(7)^2})

R = Rydberg constant, R=1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}

\dfrac{1}{397\times 10^{-9}\ m}=1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\times (\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{(7)^2})

Solving above equation we get the value of final n is,

n_f=2.04

or

n_f=2

So, it will relax in the n = 2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Whenever an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force o the same amount, but in the ______ direc
Brut [27]

Answer:

Opposite

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move etc,

For example, while driving down the road, a firefly strikes the windshield of a car (Action) and makes a quite obvious mess in front of the face of the driver (Reaction) i.e the firefly hit the car and the car hits the firefly.

The ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of equal but opposite forces acting on the two interacting physical objects.

Hence, whenever any physical object exerts a force (action) on another physical object, the second physical object exerts a force (reaction) of the same amount, but acting in opposite direction to that of the first physical object.
