Answer:
Explanation:
The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).
The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).
Do you have multiple choice answers? the lower layers are generally older than the higher layers.
Answer:
The electronic transition of an electron back to a lower energy level generates an emission spectrum.
Explanation:
The atomic emission spectrum¹ of an element has its origin when an electronic transition² occurs. An electron in an atom or ion³will absorb energy coming from a source and pass to a higher energy level, the electron, upon returning to its base state will emit a photon⁴ or a series of photons.
Hence, that leads to the formation of an emission spectrum.
Remember that an electron has energy levels in an atom or ion, at which each energy level has a specific value.
The energy values will differ from one element to another. So, it can be concluded that each element has a unique pattern of emission lines.
Key terms:
¹Spectrum: Decomposition of light in its characteristic colors.
²Electronic transition: When an electron passes from one energy level to another, either for the emission or absorption of a photon.
³Ion: An atom electrically charged due to the gain or loss of electrons.
⁴Photon: Elementary particle that constitutes light.
