The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters).
That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.
Direction!
Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)
Answer:
The Hubble space telescope.
Explanation:
Hubble is a telescope that observers the sky 24/7 non-stop, which means that for every day of the year it would have made a significant discovery, which of course includes your birthday. Furthermore, you can actually go to NASA website and find out what discovery was made on your birthday! This shows both the vastness of the universe <em>(it really has to be huge for a telescope to have a discovery for each day of the year!) </em> and the ceaseless work of the telescope!
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, <u>the atom is a solid and indivisible mass.
</u>
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<u> indivisible atom</u> model.
To understand it better:
The <u>photoelectric effect</u> 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. <u>This energy is be able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy. </u>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.
