Explain why each element has a unique spectrum of absorption or emission lines.

1 answer:

6 0

Each elements emission spectrum is distinct because each element has a different set of electron energy levels. The emission lines correspond to the differences between various pairs of the many energy levels. The lines (photons) are emitted as electrons fall from higher energy orbitals to lower energies.

As the core collapses, the outer layers of the star are expelled. A planetary nebula is formed by the outer layers. The core remains as a white dwarf and eventually cools to become a black dwarf. ... Like low-mass stars, high-mass stars are born in nebulae and evolve and live in the Main Sequence

hydrogen shell burning - outer layers swell. Red Giant Branch - helium ash core compresses - increased hydrogen shell burning. First Dredge Up - expanding atmosphere cools star - stirs carbon, nitrogen and oxygen upward - star heats up.

Q11) If you were standing at the top of a building and you dropped a rock.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Part A

The distance travel by the rock is approximately 132.496 m

Part B

The speed when the rock hits the ground is approximately 50.96 m/s

Explanation:

Part A

The question is focused on the kinetics equation of a free falling object

The given parameter is the time it takes the rock to hit the ground, t = 5.2 s

For an object in free fall, we have;

h = 1/2·g·t²

Where;

h = The height from which the object is dropped

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to travel the distance, h = 5.2 s

∴ h = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (5.2 s)² ≈ 132.496 m

The distance travel by the rock, h ≈ 132.496 m

Part B

The speed, 'v', when the rock hits the ground, is given by the following kinematic equation,

v = g·t

∴ v = 9.8 m/s² × 5.2 s = 50.96 m/s

The speed when the rock hits the ground, v ≈ 50.96 m/s.

Neap tide = tide where there is the least difference between high and low water levels

Spring tide = tide where there is the greatest difference between high and low water levels

Equator = an imaginary line drawn around earth dividing it into northern and southern hemispheres
