<h2>Answer: a bee trying to escape from a closed jar </h2>

In an atom the electrons will occupy orbitals so that their energy is as small as possible. That is why the orbitals are ordered based on their energy level in an increasing order, which is associated with a particular range of energy based on its distance from the atom nucleus.

In this sense, an electron "jumps" from one level to another in the atom in the same way a bee tries to escape from a closed jar.

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

$\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2$

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

$I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2$

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

$T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm$

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

$F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N$

A shell is fired with a horizontal velocity in the positive x direction from the top of an 80 m high cliff. The shell strikes th

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

V = 331.59m/s

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the time taken for the shell fire to hit the ground using the equation of motion.

S = ut + 1/2at²

Given height of the cliff S = 80m

initial velocity u = 0m/s²

a = g = 9.81m/s²

Substitute

80 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

80 = 4.905t²

t² = 80/4.905

t² = 16.31

t = √16.31

t = 4.04s

Next is to get the vertical velocity

Vy = u + gt

Vy = 0+(9.81)(4.04)

Vy = 39.6324

Also calculate the horizontal velocity

Vx = 1330/4.04

Vx = 329.21m/s

Find the magnitude of the velocity to calculate speed of the shell as it hits the ground.

V² = Vx²+Vy²

V² = 329.21²+39.63²

V² = 108,379.2241+1,570.5369

V² = 109,949.761

V = √ 109,949.761

V = 331.59m/s

Hence the speed of the shell as it hits the ground is 331.59m/s

The ethical guidelines related to animal research dictate that

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Animals are treated as humanely as possible.

Explanation:

Ethical guidelines relating to animals are laid down principles or laws that guide against the maltreatment of animal in any way during or for a research. As the use of some animals for various researches can not be over emphasized, because of the close proximity between their body tissues to that of humans.

The ethical guidelines enforce treating animals as humanly as possible or achievable. This ensure appropriate handling and treatment of the animals.
