Describe the relative energy of the electrons in the shells of a calcium atom

Physics
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

An electron in the third shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell and An electron in the first shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell.

Explanation:

  1. Calcium has 20 electrons.
  2. Calcium does not "borrow" electrons. Calcium "donates" 2 electrons.
  3. Calcium ion (Ca2+) has 18 electron
  4. Calcium has 2 valence electrons.
  5. The element Ca, so calcium, has 20 electrons (so it also has 20 protons) this means that it has 2 electrons in its outer orbit, its relative atomic mass is 40.

A stone is thrown vertically into the air at an initial velocity of 96 ft/s. On Mars, the height s (in feet) of the stone above
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

240 ft

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 96 ft/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 12 m/s² on Mars 32 ft/s² on Earth negative due to upward direction

Mars

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -12\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-6t^2\ ft

Earth

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -32\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-16t^2\ ft

Differentiating the first equation with respect to time we get

\frac{ds}{dt}=96-12t

Equating with zero

0=96-12t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{12}=8\ s

Differentiating the second equation with respect to time we get

\frac{ds}{dt}=96-32t

Equating with zero

0=96-32t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{32}=3\ s

Applying the time taken to the above equations, we get

s=96t-6t^2\ ft\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 8-6\times 8^2\\\Rightarrow s=384

s=96t-16t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 3-16\times 3^2\\\Rightarrow s=144

Difference in height = 384-144 = 240 ft

The stone will travel 240 ft higher on Mars

a projectile is launched at an angle of 30 degrees and lands later at the same level. if it's initial speed is 50 m/s, solve for
Mrrafil [7]
using \: the \: formula \\ t = \frac{2u \sin( \alpha ) }{g} where \: u = initial \: speed \: \\ \alpha = angle \: of \: projection \\ g = acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity \\ \frac{2 \times 50 \times \sin(30) }{10} \\ \frac{100 \times 0.5}{10} = \frac{50}{10} = 5seconds

Maximum height
= (Usinα)^2/2g
(50*0.5)^2/20
25^2/20
625/20
=31.25metres
horizontal distance = Range= [U^2 * sin2α]/g
[50^2 * sin60]/10
2500 * 0.8660/10
2165/10=216.5metres

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
givi [52]
I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

             Frequency  =  (speed)  /  (wavelength)

                                 =  (6 m/s)  /  (12 m)

                                 =      0.5 / sec

                                 =      0.5 Hz .  

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

| A 1.0 kg stone is dropped from a bridge 100 m above a canyon. What will be the kinetic energy of the stone after it
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option D

490 J

Explanation:

When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then

PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J

At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J

Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence

981-490.5= 490.5 J

Approximately, 490 J
