Answer:

A. potential energy is 258720 Joule

Explanation:

A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h

velocity = 15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.

where, m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height from the bottom of hill.

The potential energy is : m×g×h

=(2200×9.8×12)

=258720 Joule

B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom

kinetic energy= $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $m*v^{2}$ )

where v = velocity

m= mass

therefore, v= $\sqrt\frac{2*K.E}{m} {}$

or, v= $\sqrt{\frac{2*258720}{2200} }$

or, v=15.33 m/s

Describe the shape of a convex lens and explain what it does to light.

alexira [117]

Convex lenses are thicker at the centers than the edges, they are known as the converging lenses. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). When rays of light that are parallel pass through a convex lens they are refracted, the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.

The wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum that corresponds to m = 5 in the Balmer equation is: A. 656 nm. B. 4

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum is 434 nm.

Explanation:

It is given that, the wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum that corresponds to n₂ = 5 in the Balmer equation.

For Balmer series, the wave number is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_1^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_2^2})$

R is the Rydberg's constant

For Balmer series, n₁ = 2. So,

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=1.097\times 10^7\times (\dfrac{1}{2^2}-\dfrac{1}{5^2})$

$\lambda=4.34\times 10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=434\ nm$

So, the wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum is 434 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why do scientist use models to study atoms

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Scientists use models to study atoms, Because atoms are very tiny, and almost impossible to cut open and look inside.. And the center of an atom is the nucleus and that is ever smaller.

A blackbody curve relates the wavelength of emitted light to _____. intensity color frequency speed

Kitty [74]

The best answer would be intensity. A black body curve relates to the wavelength of the emitted light to its intensity. To expands the thought, the curve is referring to the power that is being transferred per unit area.
