<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.

The vertical component of the initial velocity is $v_0_y = \frac{y}{t} + \frac{1}{2} gt$

The horizontal component of the initial velocity is $v_0_x = \frac{x}{t}$

The horizontal displacement when the object reaches maximum height is $X = \frac{xy}{gt^2} + \frac{x}{2}$

The given parameters;

the horizontal displacement of the object, = x

the vertical displacement of the object, = y

acceleration due to gravity, = g

time of motion, = t

The vertical component of the initial velocity is given as;

$y = v_0_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\v_0_yt = y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\v_0_y = \frac{y}{t} + \frac{1}{2} gt$

The horizontal component of the initial velocity is calculated as;

$x = v_0_xt\\\\v_0_x = \frac{x}{t}$

The time to reach to the maximum height is calculated as;

$T = \frac{v_f_y -v_0_y}{-g} \\\\T = \frac{-v_0_y}{-g} \\\\T = \frac{v_0_y}{g} \\\\T = \frac{1}{g} (v_0_y)\\\\T = \frac{1}{g} (\frac{y}{t} + \frac{1}{2} gt)\\\\T = \frac{y}{gt} + \frac{1}{2} t$

The horizontal displacement when the object reaches maximum height is calculated as;

$X= v_0_x \times T\\\\X= \frac{x}{t} \times (\frac{y}{gt} + \frac{1}{2} t)\\\\X = \frac{xy}{gt^2} + \frac{x}{2}$

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

(a) 185 N/m

(b) 3.083 kg

Explanation:

(a)

Using,

E = 1/2ke²....................... Equation 1

Where E = work done to compress the spring, k = spring constant of the spring, e = compression of the spring.

make k the subject of the equation

k = 2E/e²............... Equation 2

Given: E = 3.7 J, e = 0.20 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(3.7)/0.2²

k = 185 N/m.

(b)

Using,

F = ma.............. Equation 2

Where F = force applied to the spring, m = mass attached to the spring, a = acceleration of the spring.

But from hook's law,

F = ke................. Equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 2

ke = ma

make m the subject of the equation

m = ke/a................ Equation 4

Given: k = 185 N/m, e = 0.2 m, a = 12 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

m = 185(0.2)/12

m = 3.083 kg
