Lucia has a bedroom window that gets direct sun in the afternoon and her room gets hot. She puts some mylar (a shiny plastic) on

the outside of her window.
1. How might this change the temperature in her room? Use what you know about light to explain your answer.

The equation for the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth depends on mass. Which mass?

katovenus [111]

<h3><u>Question: </u></h3>

The equation for the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth depends on mass. Which mass?

a. The mass of the sun

b. The mass of the satellite

c. The mass of the Earth

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The equation for the speed of a satellite orbiting in a circular path around the earth depends upon the mass of Earth.

Option c

<h3><u> Explanation: </u></h3>

Any particular body performing circular motion has a centripetal force in picture. In this case of a satellite revolving in a circular orbit around the earth, the necessary centripetal force is provided by the gravitational force between the satellite and earth. Hence $F_{G} = F_{C}$ .

Gravitational force between Earth and Satellite: $F_{G} = \frac{G \times M_e \times M_s}{R^2}$

Centripetal force of Satellite : $F_C = \frac{M_s \times V^2}{R}$

Where G = Gravitational Constant

$M_e$ = Mass of Earth

$M_s$ = Mass of satellite

R= Radius of satellite’s circular orbit

V = Speed of satellite

Equating $F_G = F_C$ , we get

Speed of Satellite $V =\frac{\sqrt{G \times M_e}}{R}$

Thus the speed of satellite depends only on the mass of Earth.

What is the energy per photon absorbed during the transition from n = 2 to n = 3 in the hydrogen atom?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer : The energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, $3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the wavelength of hydrogen atom.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = 10973731.6 m⁻¹

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = 3

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2

Putting the values, in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(10973731.6)\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )$

$\lambda=6.56\times 10^{-7}m$

Now we have to calculate the energy.

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength = $6.56\times 10^{-7}m$

Putting the values, in this formula, we get:

$E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{6.56\times 10^{-7}m}$

$E=3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

Therefore, the energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, $3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

What are the answers please help

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2cm

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

c.) 10.27 cm

d.) 10.31 cm

e.) 10.24 cm

Explanation:

The figure depicts a vernier caliper readings

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2 cm

The reading before the vernier scale

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

the point where the main scale and vernier scale meet

c.) The observed readings is

10.2 + 0.07 = 10.27 cm

d.) If the instrument has a positive zero error of 4 division

correct reading = 10.27 + 0.04 = 10.31cm

e.) If the instrument has a negative zero error of 3 division

correct reading = 10.27 - 0.03 = 10.24cm

You and your family are traveling to daytona beach for a vacation and your dad wants to get there in 7 hours. If daytona is 725

ollegr [7]

Answer:

103.57 Km/h

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance = 725 Km

Time = 7 hours

Speed =?

Speed can be defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can calculate how fast he will drive (i.e the speed) in order to get there on time. This is illustrated below:

Distance = 725 Km

Time = 7 hours

Speed =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 725 / 7

Speed = 103.57 Km/h

Thus, to get there on time, he will drive with a speed of 103.57 Km/h
