Why do elements produce different numbers of spectral lines

Physics
1 answer:
frutty [35]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Elements can be differentiated on the basis of their spectral lines. As the spectra of any element is obtained when the electrons in the orbits of an atom change their states. When they move from lower to higher orbits they absorbs the radiation or energy. When the fall back from higher energy state to lower state they emit the radiations. Thats how the spectra of radiation is obtained. Now coming towards your question, as the different elements have different atomic numbers, they have different number of electrons in their shells. That's why the presence of the number of electrons in the shells of different elements vary. So the different number of electrons in different elements lead to the production of different numbers of spectral lines.

Sati [7]

Answer:

2.11 seconds

Explanation:

We use the kinematic equation for the velocity in a constantly accelerated motion under the acceleration of gravity (g):

v_f=v_i-g*t\\-5.2 = 15.5 - 9.8\,t\\9.8 \,t= 15.5 + 5.2\\t = 20.7/9.8\\t = 2.11 \,\,sec

un columpio de balancin tiene una barra de 6m de longitud y en ella se sientan 2 personas,una de 60kg y otra de 40kg, calcular e
Kitty [74]

Answer:

<em>El punto de apoyo debe colocarse a 3.6 metros de la persona de 40 Kg</em>

<em>La ventaja mecánica es 1.5</em>

Explanation:

<u>Máquinas Simples</u>

Un balancín es un ejemplo de máquina simple, donde se aplica una fuerza física y ésta puede amplificarse o reducirse a voluntad cambiando la configuración física de la máquina.

En nuestro caso, el punto de apoyo o fulcro se coloca entre las dos fuerzas constituyendo una máquina de primer grado.

La situación planteada se muesta en la figura anexa. Debemos averiguar el valor de x para que las dos personas sentadas en el balancín puedan estar en equilibrio.

Para determinar el valor de x, se establece la condición de equilibrio de torques mecánicos. Ya que el balancín se asume en reposo, los torques aplicados de cada lado del mismo deben ser iguales, haciendo que el torque neto sea cero.

El torque es el producto de la fuerza por la distancia:

T = F.d

De cada extremo del balancín, se aplica una fuerza igual al peso de cada persona, es decir, llamando F1 al peso de la persona de 40 Kg y F2 al peso de la persona de 60 Kg:

F_1 = 40 kg * 9.8 m/s^2=392N\\\\F_2 = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2=588 N

El torque neto del balancín debe ser cero, es decir (refiérase a la figura):

F_1*x=F_2*(6-x)

Reemplazando los valores obtenidos:

392*x=588*(6-x)

Operando:

392*x+588*x=588*6

Simplificando

980*x=3528

Resolviendo

\displaystyle x=\frac{3528}{980}=3.6\ m

El punto de apoyo debe colocarse a 3.6 metros de la persona de 40 Kg, es decir, a (6 - 3.6) = 2.4 metros de la persona de 60 Kg

La ventaja mecánica se calcula como el cociente de ambas distancias

\displaystyle VM=\frac{3.6}{2.4}=1.5

La ventaja mecánica es 1.5, es decir, se amplifica la fuerza vez y media

Define newton's 3rd law of motion
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

Let's say I threw a ball on the wall. The image shows the instance the ball comes into contact with the wall.

If you would look at the image above,

- F1 and F2 are acting in opposite directions.

- They both have the same magnitude too.

F1 is the force of the ball on the wall (action force) and F2 is the force of the wall on the ball (reaction force). This is called an action-reaction pair.
