Answer:

The energy levels are: 3s and 3p

Explanation:

<u>The sodium (Na) element, with atomic number 11 (number of protons: Z=11), has the next electronic configuration</u>:  

Z=11:  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹ = [Ne] 3s¹    

<u>Hence, the electricity used in a sodium vapor lamp will</u> excite the electron of the energy state n=3 from the s-orbital to the next highest energy p-orbital <u>which then</u> drops back to the lower energy s-orbital by the emission of a photon <u>resulting in the production of light</u>.      

<u />

<u>The transition of the electron is</u>:

Excitation: [Ne] 3s¹ → [Ne] 3s⁰ 3p¹

Emission: [Ne] 3p¹ → [Ne] 3s¹                                                                    

So, the energy levels that are involved in the process are 3s and 3p.

Have a nice day!

Which type of sedimentary rock is formed from rock and mineral fragments weathered from rocks at earth’s surface?
Zanzabum

Answer:

The correct answer is detritic rocks.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are rocks formed by the accumulation of sediments, particles of various sizes that are transported by water, ice or wind, which are subjected to physical and chemical processes, resulting in consolidated materials.

Sedimentary rocks formed from the accumulation of mineral deposits and rocks from erosion and deposited by gravity are called detritic rocks.

A 58 kg skier is going down a 35 degree slope. The areaof each
maxonik [38]

To solve this problem we will use a free body diagram that allows us to determine the Normal Force.

In general, the normal force would be equivalent to

N = mgcos\theta

Since the skier is standing on two skis, his weight will be divide by two

N' = \frac{mgcos\theta}{2}

Pressure is given as the force applied in a given area, that is

P = \frac{F}{A}

Replacing F with N'

P = \frac{N'}{A}

P = \frac{\frac{mgcos\theta}{2}}{A}

Our values are given as,

m = 58kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

\theta = 35\°

A = 0.3m^2

Replacing we have that

P = \frac{\frac{(58)(9.8)cos(35)}{2}}{0.3}

P = 776.01Pa

Therefore the pressure exerted by each ski on the snow is 776.01Pa

A 60-Hz single-phase transformer with capacity of 150 kVA has the following parameters: RP = 0.35 Ω RS = 0.002 Ω Rc = 5.2 kΩ XP
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total Resistance, Rt = (0.35 + 0.002 + 5200 + 0.5 + 0.008 + 1100) = 6300 ohms      

a) Capacity of transformer, Pt = 150KVA = 150,000 W

Input Voltage, Vp = 2.8 KV = 2800 V

Current, Ip = 150000/2800 = 53.57 A

Input impedance, Zp = Vp/Ip = 2800/5357 = 52.27 ohms

b) i)   Input current = 53.57 A

ii) Voltage, V = Ip * Rt = 53.57 X 6300 = 337.5 KV

iii) Power, P = I² * Rt = (53.57)² X 6300 = 18.08 MW

iv) Power factor = 0.83
