Answer:

Wg is positive and WT negative.

(Letters in options are all wrongly written).

Explanation:

Remember that the work of a force is the internal product between the force and the displacement $W=F.d$ .

Since the displacement is downwards like the weight, the work done by gravity is positive, while the work done by the tension is negative since it points upwards.

Two 0.20-kg balls, moving at 4 m/s east, strike a wall. Ball A bounces backwards at the same speed. Ball B stops. Which statemen

muminat

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=0.20kg$

Velocity $v=4m/s$

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball A is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

$M_{a1}=mV$

$M_{a1}=0.2*4$

$M_{a1}=0.8$

Final Momentum

$M_{a2}=-0.8kgm/s$

Therefore

$\triangle M_a=-1.6kgm/s$

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball B is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

$M_{b1}=mV$

$M_{b1}=0.2*4$

$M_{b1}=0.8$

Final Momentum

$M_{b2}=-0 kgm/s$

Therefore

$|\triangle M_a|>|\triangle Mb|$

Option A

What did Galileo discover when he dropped two cannon balls of different weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

Maru [420]

The answer is "B".. Galileo discovered that dropping two items of the same mass, they can have different weights but no matter what the force that is acting upon them is the same amount, so this means that both objects will hit the ground at the same time. Galileo tested this theory and proved it right.

what is the energy (in j) of a photon required to excite an electron from n = 2 to n = 8 in a he⁺ ion? submit an answer to three

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Approximately $5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}$ .

Explanation:

Since the result needs to be accurate to three significant figures, keep at least four significant figures in the calculations.

Look up the Rydberg constant for hydrogen: $R_{\text{H}} \approx 1.0968\times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}$ .

Look up the speed of light in vacuum: $c \approx 2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Look up Planck's constant: $h \approx 6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}$ .

Apply the Rydberg formula to find the wavelength $\lambda$ (in vacuum) of the photon in question:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{\lambda} &= R_{\text{H}} \, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\end{aligned}$ .

The frequency of that photon would be:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda}\end{aligned}$ .

Combine this expression with the Rydberg formula to find the frequency of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda} \\ &= c\, \left(\frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \\ &= c\, \left(R_{\text{H}}\, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\right) \\ &\approx (2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &\quad \times (1.0968 \times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}}) \times \left(\frac{1}{2^{2}} - \frac{1}{8^{2}}\right)\\ &\approx 7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}} \end{aligned}$ .

Apply the Einstein-Planck equation to find the energy of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}E &= h\, f \\ &\approx (6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}) \times (7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}) \\ &\approx 5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to three significant figures.)
