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 0. 060-kg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball initially moving in th
inn [45]

Final speed of the tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball is 2.964 m/s.

<h3>What is conservation of momentum?</h3>

Momentum of an object is the force of speed of it in motion. Momentum of a moving body is the product of mass times velocity. By the law of conservation of momentum,

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v

Here, (m) is the mass, (u) is initial velocity before collision, v is final velocity after collision and (subscript 1, and 2) are used for body 1 and 2 respectively. Rewrite the formula for final velocity as,

v=\dfrac{m_1u_1 + m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

A 0. 060-kg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball, initially moving in the same direction at a speed of 3.44 m/s. Thus, the initial velocity of the second ball is,

v_{2f}=5.82+3.44+v_{1f}\\v_{2f}=2.38+v_{1f}

Let v1f is the final velocity of first ball. Thus, the initial velocity of the first ball is,

v_{1f}=\dfrac{(0.060)(5.82) + (0.090)(3.44-2.38)}{(0.060)+(0.090)}\\v_{1f}=2.964\rm\; m/s

Thus, final speed of the tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball is 2.964 m/s.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Drawing the triangle:

H / x = tan 52.2 = 1.29

H / (4.6 - x) = tan 28.8 = .550

H = 1.29 x

H = .55 * 4.6 - .55 x

1.84 x = 2.53        combining equations

x = 1.38

4.6 - 1.38 = 3.22

Total base of triangle = 1.38 + 3.22 = 4.6

H / x = tan 52,2 = 1.29

H = 1.29 * 1.38 = 1.78 height of triangle

Check:

1.78 / 3.22 = tan 28.9    

This agrees with the given value of 28.8
