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.

Calculate the energy absorbed when 13 kg of liquid water raises from 18°C to 100°C and then boils at 100°C.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

the energy absorbed is 4.477 x 10⁶ J

Explanation:

mass of the liquid, m = 13 kg

initial temperature of the liquid, t₁ = 18 ⁰C

final temperature of the liquid, t₂ = 100 ⁰C

specific heat capacity of water, c = 4,200 J/kg⁰C

The energy absorbed is calculated as;

H = mcΔt

H = mc(t₂ - t₁)

H = 13 x 4,200(100 - 18)

H = 4.477 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the energy absorbed is 4.477 x 10⁶ J

The zero tolerance law applies to drivers _________.

s2008m [1.1K]

The zero tolerance law applies to drivers under the age of 21.

<h3>Zero Tolerance Law:</h3>

Drivers under the age of 21 who operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of between 0.02% and 0.07% are subject to what is known as the "Zero Tolerance Law." The Zero Tolerance Law aims to prevent underage drivers from driving after consuming alcohol.

The zero-tolerance rule states that it is against the law for anyone under the age of 21 to operate a motor vehicle while having any detectable level of alcohol in their system. Zero Tolerance Law states that a minor has committed the criminal offense of DUI if there is ANY detectable level of alcohol in his or her system while operating a vehicle in public. The minor's driver's license is immediately suspended, and the officer has the authority to confiscate the license on the spot.

The energy of an electromagnetic wave changes proportionally to which

ozzi

Answer:

D. Frequency

Explanation:

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to frequency, mathematically it is expressed as;

E ∝ f

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

The equation above can also be expanded to;

$E = hf = h \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave

Since the speed of light is constant, we can conclude that the energy of the electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Therefore, the correct option for direct proportionality is FREQUENCY

what causes sounds? A. electromagnectic energy B. the release of sensory neurons C.movement that causes changes in air placement

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

D.vibrations that cause changes in air pressure

Explanation:

Sound is a type of wave.

A wave is a periodic disturbance/oscillation that trasmits energy without transmitting matter. There are two different types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. These waves are characterized by the presence of crests (points of maximum positive displacement) and troughs (points of maximum negative displacement). Examples of transverse wave are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. These waves are characterized by the presence of compressions (regions where the density of particle is higher) and rarefactions (regions where the density of particle is lower). Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Sound waves, in particular, consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium - most commonly, air - that occur back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave. Because of these motion, the air will have areas of higher pressure (which correspond to the compressions), where the density of particles is higher, and areas of lower pressure (which correspond to the rarefactions), where density of particles is lower.
