D. A heat engine that uses heat to do work

Explanation:

A coal fired power plant is a heat engine that uses heat to do work.

A heat engine is a device that is used to convert heat energy into mechanical energy .

A heat pump uses mechanical energy to produce more heat from a lower heat sink.

A coal power plant produces heat by firing the coal.
Heat from the coal combustion heats water to steam.
The steam is used to drive heavy turbines
The turbine has mechanical energy and it then produce electricity.

How many electrons can possess this set of quantum numbers: principal quantum number n = 4, magnetic quantum number mℓ = −1?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

To solve this question lets determine the possible quantum numbers for the principal quantum number n = 4.

For the quantum number l which describes the shape of the orbital, we have the possible values : 0 to n-1.

Thus, for n = 4 the l can assume the values 0, 1, 2, 3 ( 4 possible shapes )

For the angular quantum number, ml, which tell us the orientation in space,we have the values - l to + l.

So lets determine the number of orbials which can have the values -l for n=4

l = 0 ml = 0

l= 1 ml = -1,0,1

l= 2 ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

l= 3 ml = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

So we have three orbital with ml = - 1 and from Pauli´s exclusion principle we can have up two electrons in each orbital. Thus for n= 4 we can have up to 6 electrons with ml = -1

Which characteristic does an object with a constant acceleration always have?

Alexus [3.1K]

By definition, speed is the integral of acceleration with respect to time.

We have then:

$v = \int\limits^t_0 {a} \, dt$

As the acceleration is constant, then integrating we have:

$v = a*t + vo$

Where,

vo: constant of integration that corresponds to the initial velocity

We observe then that the speed varies linearly when the acceleration is constant .

Therefore, for constant acceleration, the velocity is changing.

Answer:

an object with a constant acceleration always have:

A. changing velocity
