Answer: 3.142656 × 10^16 feet

Explanation: Given that the

Speed = 982,080,000 ft/s, and

Time = 32,000,000 seconds

The formula for speed is:

Speed = distance/ time

Make distance the subject of formula

Since the time is second in one year and speed is ft/s, substitute both into the formula

Distance = speed × time

distance = 982,080,000 × 32,000,000

Distance = 3.142656 × 10^16 feet.

The distance of one light year in feet is 3.142656 × 10^16

What is the value of n in the balmer series for which the wavelength is 410.2 nm.?
m_a_m_a [10]

The answer is n= 6.

What is Balmer series?

The Balmer series is the portion of the emission spectrum of hydrogen that represents electron transitions from energy levels n > 2 to n = 2. These are four lines in the visible spectrum. They are also known as the Balmer lines. The four visible Balmer lines of hydrogen appear at 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm and 656 nm.

For the Balmer series, the final energy level is always n=2. So, the wavelengths 653.6, 486.1, 434.0, and 410.2 nm correspond to n=3, n=4, n=5, and n=6 respectively. Since the last wavelength, 410.2 nm, corresponds to n=6, the next wavelength should logically correspond to n=7.

To solve for the wavelength, calculate the individual energies, E2 and E7, using E=-hR/(n^2). Then, calculate the energy difference between E2 (which is the final) and E7 (which is the initial). Finally, use lamba=hc/E to get the wavelength.

A ball of mass M is suspended by a thin string (of negligible mass) from the ceiling of an elevator.uploaded image
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.  T > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor. T > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor. T < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity. T = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing. T < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest. T = mg

Explanation:

To answer this question, consider all the forces acting on the elevator.

The mass of the ball acting downwards due to gravity = mg

The tension on the string depends on upward or downwards force on the ball. T = m(a+g)

where a is acceleration and increase in velocity causes increase in acceleration, and vice versa. (a = v/t)

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a+g) > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing.

Then, T = m(a+g) > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor.

If the downward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a-g) < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity

At constant velocity, acceleration is zero, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

T = m(0+g) = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing

If the downward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing

T = m(a-g) < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest.

if the elevator is at rest, its acceleration is zero

T = m(0+g) = mg
