Answer:

371.2 mm

Explanation:

The Balmer series of spectral lines is obtained from the formula

1/λ = R(1/2² -1/n²) where λ = wavelength, R = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

when n = 15

1/λ = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/2² -1/15²)

= 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/4 -1/225)

= 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(0.25 - 0.0044)

= 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ 0.245556

= 2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

So,

λ = 1/2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

= 0.3712 10⁻⁶ m

= 371.2 mm

A student places an object with a mass of m on a disk at a position r from the center of the disk. The student starts rotating t

koban [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is 0.087.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the object on the disk experiments a centrifugal force due to static friction. From 2nd Newton's Law, we can represent the object by the following formula:

$\Sigma F_{r} = \mu_{s}\cdot N = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$ (1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N - m\cdot g = 0$ (2)

Where:

$N$ - Normal force from the ground on the object, measured in newtons.

$m$ - Mass of the object, measured in newtons.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$v$ - Linear speed of rotation of the disk, measured in meters per second.

$R$ - Distance of the object from the center of the disk, measured in meters.

By applying (2) on (1), we obtain the following formula:

$\mu_{s}\cdot m\cdot g = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot R}$

If we know that $v = 0.8\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $R = 0.75\,m$ , then the coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is:

$\mu_{s} = \frac{\left(0.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.75\,m)}$

$\mu_{s} = 0.087$

The coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is 0.087.

Examine the scenario.

The electrons in the positive object are attracted to the negatively charged object. Some of the electrons move from the positive object to the negative object.

an example of this is lightning because the positive electrons on/in the earth are attracted to the negative electrons in the clouds and sky so the positive move to the negative charge.
