People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.3×1015Hz?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

We know that

ħf = ф + Ekmax  

where  

ħ = planks constant = 6.626x10^-34 J s  

f = frequency of incident light = 1.3x10^15 /s (1 Hz =

1/s)

ф = work function of the cesium = 2.14 eV  

Ekmax = max  kinetic energy of the emmitted electron.  

We distinguish that:

1 eV = 1.602x10^-19 J

So:

2.14 eV x (1.602x10^-19 J / 1 eV) = 3.428x10^-19 J

So,

Ekmax = (6.626x10^-34 J s) x (1.3x10^15 / s) - 3.428x10^-19 J

= 8.6138x10^-19 J - 3.428x10^-19 J = 5.1858x10^-19 J  

Answer:

5.19x10^-19 J  

Kinetic energy:

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it owns due to its motion. It is defined as the work required accelerating a body of a given mass from rest to its specified velocity. Having expanded this energy during its acceleration, the body upholds this kinetic energy lest its speed changes.

Explain how scientific observations led to the development of, and changes to, the periodic table.
Musya8 [376]
The following are scientific observations which led to development and changes of periodic table: Dmitri Mendeleev is the first periodic table organized 63 known element according to its properties, organized into rows and columns and inscribed name, mass and chemical properties on each element. Julius Lothar Meyer who independently worked in Germany with Ernest Rutherford. They experimented with 38 metals and found out that the positive charge of each element nucleus increased by one from element to element and organized the periodic table that tip to modern explanation of atomic number and the recognition of atomic number was the basis for organization of periodic table.

Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative,  the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity  because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V =  5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.
