Answer:

B) an electron to move from ground state to an excited state.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs electromagnetic radiation of the visible spectrum that is used in process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll's function is to absorb electromagnetic radiation of the visible spectrum and it absorbs blue color radiation the best and green the worst as it reflects it. It absorbs electromagnetic radiation by absorbing the energy of the photon of light by a process called charge separation.

Charge separation is the process by which an electron gets to a higher energy state by absorbing the energy of a photon.

A balloon will stick to a wooden wall if the balloon is charged
grigory [225]
<h2>Answer: either way</h2>

The balloon contains neutral charge atoms, that is, it has the same number of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge).

Then, when two objects come into contact, the electrons of one of them can become part of the other.

Thus, by bringing the balloon closer to the wall, the wall, which is also made up of atoms, will reorder its charges in such a way that its electrons or protons become part of the balloon, charging it.

You drop a steel ball bearing, with a radius of 2.40 mm, into a beaker of honey. Note that honey has a viscosity of 6.00 Pa/s an
Stells [14]

Answer:

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s

Explanation:

Radius of the steel ball R = 2.40 mm

Viscosity of honey η = 6.0 Pa/s

\text { Viscosity has Density } \sigma=1360 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

\text { Steel has a density } \rho=7800 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

\left.\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { (g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is } 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { on Earth }\right)

While calculating the terminal speed in liquids where density is high the stokes law is used for viscous force and buoyant force is taken into consideration for effective weight of the object. So the expression for terminal speed (Vt)

V_{t}=\frac{2 \mathrm{R}^{2}(\rho-\sigma) \mathrm{g}}{9 \eta}

Substitute the given values to find "terminal speed"

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{2 \times 0.0024^{2}(7800-1360) 9.8}{9 \times 6}

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{0.0048 \times 6440 \times 9.8}{54}

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{302.9376}{54}

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=5.609 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s

Bogdan [553]
A rotating disc supplied with constant power where the relationship of the angular velocity of the disc and the number of rotations made by the disc is governed by Newton's second law for rotation. This law is specially made for rotating bodies which is extracted from Newton's second law of motion.

A positive charge and a negative charge held a certain distance apart are released. as they move, the force on each particle:___
iVinArrow [24]

A positive charge and a negative charge held a certain distance apart are released. as they move, the force on each particle increases

The most common charge carriers are the positively charged proton and the negatively charged electron. The movement of any of these charged particles constitutes an electric current

<h3>What is a Charge ?</h3>

When there are more or fewer protons in an atom than electrons, the substance has an electric charge. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. If a substance has more protons than electrons, it is positively charged; if it has more electrons, it is negatively charged.

  • The SI units for charge are ampere-second or coulomb. When one ampere of electric current goes through the conductor for one second, one coulomb of charge passes through it. Charge is denoted by the formula Q = I t.
