Answer:

(a) 0 J

(b) 828.96 J

(c) 828.96 J

(d) 828.96 J

(e) 0 J

(f) 828.96 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the rock is, m=3.18\ kg

Initial height of the rock is, h_{i}=26.6\ m

Final height of the rock is, h_f=0\ m

Initial velocity of the rock is, v_i=0\ m/s(Rest)

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

(a)

Initial kinetic energy is given as:

K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

Plug in the given values and solve for 'K_i'. This gives,

K_i=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.18\times 0^2=0

Therefore, initial kinetic energy is 0 J.

(b)

Initial potential energy is given as:

U_i=mgh_i\\U_i=3.18\times 9.8\times 26.6=828.96\ J

Therefore, initial potential energy is 828.96 J.

(c)

Mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy. It is always a constant value. Therefore,

ME=K_i+P_i\\ME=0+828.96=828.96\ J

Therefore, mechanical energy at 26.6 m is 828.96 J.

(d)

Now, at the final height of 0 m, the decrease in potential energy will be equal to the increase in the kinetic energy. In other words, the potential energy at the start will be converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.

Therefore, kinetic energy at the 0 m is given as:

K_f=U_i=828.96\ J

(e)

Potential energy at the final height is given as:

P_f=mgh_f=3.18\times 9.8\times 0=0\ J

Therefore, final potential energy is 0 J.

(f)

Total mechanical energy is a constant and doesn't depend on the height.

So, total mechanical energy at 0 m is same as that at 26.6 m.

Total mechanical energy is 828.96 J.

The assume that goes with the inquiry demonstrates the wavelenghts of the photons transmitted by Balmer arrangement change , from vitality levels (n) 3, 4, 5, and 6 to the vitality level (n) 2, in  hydrogen particles.

These are the values shown in the figure

Transition           wavelength of the photon emitted
                                   nm


from n=3  to n=2              656<------ this is the value requested

from n=4 to n=2               486

from n=5 to n=2               434

from n=6 to n=2              410

The wavelength of a photon discharged from the n = 3 shell in hydrogen is the primary information of the table, i.e 656 nm.

Using the conversion factor from nm to m that results is :

656 nm * 1 m / (10^9 nm) = 656 * 10 ^ -9 m.
Hope this helps

What is the relationship that exist between the mole molar mass and avogadro number?
Elenna [48]
Avogadros number is the definition of a mole. SO a mole is 1 avogadros number of atoms. molar mass is how much 1 avogadros number of atoms weighs. each element on the periodic table has a different mass, so 1 mole of each of the elements has a different molar mass.
