Power(p) = 2kW

Time(t)= 3 h

Work done(w) = ?

p = w / t

w = p × t

w = 2kW × 3 h

w = 6kWh

Converting 6kWh to Joules,

6kWh

6×(10^3)h ( k = 10^3 )

6×10^3×(60×60) ( 1 hour = 60 × 60 sec)

2.2×10^7 J in 2 significant figures

The balmer series is formed by electron transitions in hydrogen that
RSB [31]

Answer:

The Balmer series refers to the spectral lines of hydrogen, associated to the emission of photons when an electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from a level n \geq 3 to the level n=2.

The wavelength associated to each spectral line of the Balmer series is given by:

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

where R_H is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen, and where n is the initial level of the electron that jumps to the level n = 2.

The first few spectral lines associated to this series are withing the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and their wavelengths are:

656 nm (red, corresponding to the transition 3 \rightarrow 2)

486 nm (green, 4 \rightarrow 2)

434 nm (blue, 5 \rightarrow 2)

410 nm (violet, 6 \rightarrow 2)

All the following lines lie in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. The limit of the Balmer series, corresponding to the transition \infty \rightarrow 2, is at 364.6 nm.

24. A total of 165 J of work is done on a gaseous refrigerant as it undergoes compression. If the internal energy of the gas inc
Yuliya22 [10]

The total amount of energy transferred as heat is equal to 288 Joules.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Internal energy = 123 Joules
  • Work done = 165 Joules

To calculate the total amount of energy transferred as heat, we would apply the first law of thermodynamics.​

<h3>The first law of thermodynamics.</h3>

Mathematically, the first law of thermodynamics is given by the formula:

\Delta E = Q - W

<u>Where;</u>

  • \Delta E is the change in internal energy.
  • Q is the quantity of heat transferred.
  • W is the work done.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

123 = Q - 165\\\\Q=123+165

Q = 288 Joules.

An isolated system contains a ball at rest 5 meters (m) above the ground. The ball has an initial potential energy of 250 joules
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Total mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy plus kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will be 250 [J] and the potential energy is zero, therefore Total mechanical energy will be 250 + 0 =250[J]

Explanation:

This is a problem that applies the principle of energy conservation, i.e. mechanical energy that will be transformed into kinetic energy. We need to identify what kind of energy we have depending on the position of the ball with respect to the reference axis we take.

The reference axis or reference point is the point at which the potential energy is equal to zero, for this case we will take the ground as our reference point.

We know that the potential energy is defined by:

E_{p}=m*g*h\\ where:\\m=mass[kg]\\g=gravity[m/s^2]\\h=elevation[m]

We can clear the mass from this equation:

m=\frac{E_{p} }{(g*h)} \\m=\frac{250 }{(9.81*5)} \\\\m=5.09[kg]

When this body falls its potential energy will decrease but its kinetic energy will increase and reach its maximum value when the ball reaches the ground.

In such a way that its potential energy would be transformed into kinetic energy.

E_{k} = E_{p} \\E_{k} =kinetic energy [J]

Since the potential energy has been transformed all into kinetic energy the amount of energy is conserved, therefore the total mechanical energy will remain the same.
