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.

These are the characteristics that apply:

- In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme:

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

$E_i = E_f$

so:

$wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2$

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

$(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2$

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s
