The work done by the force is 47.1 J
Explanation:
The work done by a force in moving an object is given by
(1)
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the distance covered by the object
is the angle between the direction of the force and the motion of the object
In this problem, the force applied to the object is
F = 3.0 N
This force is always tangential to the track: this means that at every instant, the force is parallel to the motion of the object, so
And the distance covered is equal to the circumference of the circle, which is:
where r = 2.5 m is the radius.
Now we can substitute into eq.(1) to find the work done:

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation
In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
1 / lambda = R(h)* ( -
)
= 109678 ( -
)
= 109678 (8/9)
Lambda = 9 / (109678 * 8 )
= 102.6 * m = 102.6 nm
