Answer:

The initial energy level = 6

Explanation:

Photon wavelength is proportional to energy. The wavelength of emitted photons is related to the energy levels of the atom as given by the Rydberg formula:

ₕ₁₂

(1/λ) = Rₕ [(1/n₂²) − (1/n₁²)]

where n₂ = final energy level = 2

n₁ = initial energy level = ?

Rₕ = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

λ = wavelength = 410 nm = 410 × 10⁻⁹ m

1/(410 × 10⁻⁹) = (1.097 × 10⁷) [(1/2²) − (1/n₁²)]

0.223 = [(1/4) − (1/n₁²)]

(1/n₁²) = 0.02778

n₁² = 1/0.02778 = 36

n₁ = 6.

Answer:

a = - 50 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we simply have to replace the values supplied in the given equation.

Vf = final velocity = 0.5 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]

s = distance = 100 [m]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing we have:

(0.5)^{2}-(10)^{2} = 2*a*(100)\\0.25-10000=200*a\\200*a=-9999.75\\a =-50 [m/s^{2} ]

The negative sign of acceleration means that the ship slows down its velocity in order to land.

To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo
Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\  P = -2mv_{i}

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}

A circuit consists of a 12 V battery connected across a single resistor. If the current in the circuit is
finlep [7]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

Voltage = I (current) . Resistance

You can change it the way you want to use for your purpose.

In this case...

R = V/I

R = 12/3

R = 4 Ohms (Ohm is the unit of measurement of eletrical resistance)
