Answer: An iron atom emits particles when it is struck by light (by the photoelectric effect)

Explanation:

The first atomic model was the one proposed by Jhon Dalton, according to which it is postulated that:

"Matter is made up of indivisible, indestructible and extremely small particles called atoms."

That is, the atom is a solid and indivisible mass.

However, the fenomenom by which an iron atom emits particles when it is struck by light (known as the photoelectric effect) can not be explaind by this indivisible atom model.

To understand it better:

The photoelectric effect consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

This is possible by considering light as a stream of photons, where each of them has energy. This energy is be able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy. This means the atom is not indivisible, but it is a composition of different particles.

In fact, currently it is known that each atom is composed of a nucleus and one or more electrons attached to the nucleus, which is composed of one or more protons and typically a similar number of neutrons.

How much work is done when a force of 15.0 newtons is used to lift a box 3.0 meters into the air?

denis-greek [22]

Added potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Added potential energy = (weight) x (added height)

If you need to lift a 15N box 3m straight up, you have to increase its potential energy by (15 N) x (3 m) = 45 Joules .

Where is that added potential energy supposed to come from ? You could use an electric winch, a steam engine, a gasoline-powered motor, thousands of hamsters running on little treadmills that are are connected to the main pulley somehow, or your own arm muscles. But howEVER you do it, you have to provide 45 Joules of WORK in order to increase the potential energy of the box by just that much.

What are AC and DC Power respectively used for?

kicyunya [14]

AC changes its direction in regular interval of time while DC is unidirectional flow. Due to many advantages of AC, it used to power our houses and offices while DC is used to power low power devices. AC is easier to transform between voltage levels, which makes high-voltage transmission more feasible

· radioactive decay, fusion, fission · electromagnetic radiation of high energy · produced by sub-atomic particle interactions ·

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Option (C) gamma

Explanation:

Gamma radiation are electromagnetic radiation of high energy produced from radioactive decay, fission and fussion. It possesses a great penetrating power and as such, it used to diagnose and also to treat certain types of cancer. Despite this positive application, gamma radiation also poses great risk to health as it may also provoke cancer, genetic mutations and even death.
