Answer:

<em>v=14 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Energy </u>

The kinetic energy of a body (K) is the capacity of doing work due to its speed. It can be expressed as

\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

The potential energy (U) is the capacity of doing work due to its height respect to a certain reference level.

U=mgh

The  mechanical energy is the sum of both

\displaystyle E_m=\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states it must remain the same if no external force is acting on it. The diver drops from the diving board, which means its initial speed is zero (and so its initial kinetic energy). Thus, the mechanical energy at the jumping time is

\displaystyle E_m=mgh=(75)(10)(9.8)=7350\ J

When the diver is about to get into the water, his height reaches zero and the speed is at maximum. All the potential energy became kinetic energy, so

\displaystyle \frac{mv^2}{2}=7350\ J

Rearranging

\displaystyle v^2=\frac{2(7350)}{75}=196

v=\sqrt{196}=14\ m/s

The final speed of the diver is

\boxed{v=14\ m/s}

If the element gallium has an atomic number of 31 and an atomic mass of 70, how many neutrons does it have?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The answer is 39.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So, you would just do 70 - 31 and that gets you 39.

What is the wavelength, in nm, of the line in the hydrogen spectrum when one n value is 3 and the other n value is 6?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

\lambda=1090nm

Explanation:

Rydberg formula is used to calculate the wavelengths of the spectral lines of many chemical elements. For the hydrogen, is defined as:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})

Where R_H is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and n_1, n_2 are the lower energy state and the higher energy state, respectively.

\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.10*10^{7}m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{6^2})\\\frac{1}{\lambda}=9.17*10^{5}m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1.09*10^{6}m^{-1}}\\\lambda=1.09*10^{-6}m*\frac{10^{9}nm}{1m}\\\lambda=1090nm

In this case, lithium would be classified as a(n)
Black_prince [1.1K]

Lithium is to be considered as an ION

Atom is defined as its natural state where it will have all its electrons present in its shell

Since in this case Lithium is giving its electron so after giving the electron it will become an ion

Compound is the combination of two or more different atoms

Molecules is the combination of same type of atoms

So here answer must be

<em>C) ion</em>
