The acceleration is -3.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change in velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the car in this problem, we have:

u = +20 m/s

v = 0 (because the car comes to a stop)

t = 6.5 s (time taken)

Therefore, the acceleration is

a=\frac{0-(+20)}{6.5}=-3.1 m/s^2

Where the negative sign means that the direction of the acceleration is opposite to the direction of the initial velocity.

Answer:

A. 2.82 eV

B. 439nm

C. 59.5 angstroms

Explanation:

A. To calculate the energy of the photon emitted you use the following formula:

E_{n1,n2}=-13.4(\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})     (1)

n1: final state = 5

n2: initial state = 2

Where the energy is electron volts. You replace the values of n1 and n2 in the equation (1):

E_{5,2}=-13.6(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=2.82eV

B. The energy of the emitted photon is given by the following formula:

E=h\frac{c}{\lambda}   (2)

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^{-34} kgm^2/s

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

λ: wavelength of the photon

You first convert the energy from eV to J:

2.82eV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{18}eV}=4.517*10^{-19}J

Next, you use the equation (2) and solve for λ:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.62*10^{-34} kg m^2/s)(3*10^8m/s)}{4.517*10^{-19}J}=4.39*10^{-7}m=439*10^{-9}m=439nm

C. The radius of the orbit is given by:

r_n=n^2a_o   (3)

where ao is the Bohr's radius = 2.380 Angstroms

You use the equation (3) with n=5:

r_5=5^2(2.380)=59.5

hence, the radius of the atom in its 5-th state is 59.5 anstrongs

a flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 ohms. what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is 2.5A?
Mashcka [7]

E = I R

That means 

        Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

                     =   (2.5 A)  x  (2.4 ohms)

                     =       6 volts .
