How do the dark lines of an atom''s absorption spectrum relate to the bright lines of its emission spectrum?

Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon !   If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.

All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.

Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove.  It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.

The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels.  Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up.  We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.

The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).

Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.

You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."

Jessica has a mass of 55kg she sleds down a hill that has a slope of 32 degrees. what is the component of her weight that is alo
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

W = 285.62 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Jessica is 55 kg

Slope of the hill is 32 degrees

We need to find the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion.

The component along her direction of motion is shown in attached figure. It means

W_y=mg\sin\theta\\\\W_y=55\times 9.8\times \sin(32)\\\\W_y=285.62\ N

So, the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion is 285.62 N.

It takes 200 N to move a box 10 meters in 8 seconds. How much power is
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The equation of power is defined as Power = Workdone/Time Taken

And workdone = Force x Distance so using these equations we get they workdone is, 200x 10 = 2000Nm.

Dividing workdone with time will yield power, 2000 ÷ 8 = 250 Nm/s = 250W.
