Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the four rocky planets
zmey [24]4 years ago

Answer:

There are four rocky, or terrestrial, planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are called terrestrial planets because they are made up of rocks and metals and have solid surfaces.

Why does the emission spectrum of hydrogen or unknown source have a distinct line spectrum instead of a continuous one?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer

When an electron makes transition from a state of higher energy to a state of lower energy it does so by emitting energy in form of radiation in the visible spectrum of light.

Since the basic postulates of the atomic theory is that the energy that the electron possess in it's orbit's takes only discrete values and cannot take any random value thus when an electron makes a transition from a state of higher energy to state of lower energy it will emit radiation with energy equal to difference between the energy levels of the 2 orbit's thus we only observe discrete lines.

Mathematically when an electron makes a transition between states the wavelength of light it releases is given by

\frac{1}{\lambda }=R_{\infty }(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}})

where R_{\infty } is Rydberg constant

n_{1} is upper energy level

n_{2} is lower energy level

thus we can see that only discrete wavelength's are released and not continuous wavelength's of light.

A 12.6-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume a radial dis
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)27.3N

b)150.78N

Explanation:

Having in mind the conservation of energy, as the monkey goes up (gaining potential gravitational energy) the kinetic energy must be reduced, so reducing the velocity of the monkey. So the maximum velocity will be at this lower point with a velocity of 1.36m/s

From this velocity and the radius we can calculate the angular velocity for the monkey center of mass:

w=\frac{1.36m/s}{0.853m} =1.594 /s

with this we can calculate the centripetal force magnitude:

F=m*w^{2} *r=12.6kg*(1.594/s)^{2} *0.853m=27.3N

On the mokey center of mass we have two opposite forces acting, the tension of the arm and the weight, in order for the monkey to continue swinging the resolt of this two forces must be equal to the centripetal force:

T-P=F=>T=F+P

T=27.3N+12.6kg*9.8m/s^{2}=150.78N
