What is excitation energy?

Physics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]4 years ago
7 0
In physics, the addition of a discrete amount of energy<span> (called </span>excitation energy<span>) to a system—such as an atomic nucleus, an atom, or a molecule—that results in its alteration, ordinarily from the condition of lowest </span>energy<span> (ground state) to one of higher </span>energy<span>(excited state).

This answer is from : </span>https://www.britannica.com/science/excitation-<span>energy</span>

Dave throws a 10 kg bowling ball straight up in the air. At the very tippy-top of its path, what is it's momentum?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Zero

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=10\ kg

If the ball is thrown upward then at maximum point velocity of ball is zero because ball is no longer able to move upward

Momentum(P) of a particle is given by

P=mass\times velocity

P=10\times 0

P=0

Therefore at the highest point momentum is zero .

If you are holding a book and you let go of it, why does it fall? Explain in terms of forces, potential energy, and kinetic ener
inessss [21]

Answer:

Let the mass of the book be "m", acceleration due to gravity be "g", velocity be "v" and height be "h".

Now if we are holding a book at a certain height (h), <em><u>the potential energy will be maximum which is equal to mass× acceleration due to gravity× height (= mgh)</u>.</em>

(Remember: kinetic energy =0)

Now we consider that the book is dropped, in this case a force will act downward towards the centre of the earth, <em><u>Force= mass× acceleration due to gravity (F=mg)</u></em>. It is equal to the weight of the book.

While the book is falling, the potential energy stored in the book converts into kinetic energy and strikes the floor with <em><u>the maximum kinetic energy= (1/2)×mass×velocity² (=1/2mv²)</u>.</em>

(Remember: kinetic energy=0)

Due to this process the whole energy is conserved.

As the potential energy decreases kinetic energy increases.
