Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon ! If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.
All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.
Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove. It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.
The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels. Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up. We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.
The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).
Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.
You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."
Average speed= total distance/total time =12km/h
Answer:
v = 0
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by taking into account:
- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system
( 1 )
- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion
( 2 )
where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block
Hence
and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):
In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.
Answer:
A) a neutron pushing on another neutron.
Explanation:
Neutrons have no charge, therefore, there is no electric force among them. Protons and electrons on the other hand do have electric charge (electrons negative charge and protons positive charge) that generate electric forces between them that can be repelling forces (if the charges are of the same sign), or attractive forces (if the charges are of opposite signs).
Answer:
True
Explanation:
If two partners don't communicate they'll grow apart and it may lead to one or the other cheating.
