How high off the ground is a 5.5 kg object that has a gravitational potential energy of 8500 DE=mah​

Physics

Answer:

h = 157.70 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5.5 kg

Gravitational potential energy = 8500 Joules

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the height of the object;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

8500 = 5.5*9.8*h

8500 = 53.9h

h = 8500/53.9

h = 157.70 m

Of the following transitions in the Bohr hydrogen atom, the ________ transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The <em><u>n = 2 → n = 3</u></em> transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.

Explanation:

E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev

Formula used for the radius of the n^{th} orbit will be,

where,

E_n = energy of n^{th} orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number

Here: Z = 1 (hydrogen atom)

Energy of the first orbit in H atom .

E_1=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{1^2} eV=-13.6 eV

Energy of the second orbit in H atom .

E_2=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-3.40 eV

Energy of the third orbit in H atom .

E_3=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(9)^2} eV=-1.51 eV

Energy of the fifth orbit in H atom .

E_5=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.544 eV

Energy of the sixth orbit in H atom .

E_6=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.378 eV

Energy of the seventh orbit in H atom .

E_7=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-278 eV

During an absorption of energy electron jumps from lower state to higher state.So,  absorption will take place in :

1) n = 2 → n = 3

2) n=  5 → n = 6

Energy absorbed when: n = 2 → n = 3

E=E_3-E_2

E=(-1.51 eV) -(-3.40 eV)=1.89 eV

Energy absorbed when: n = 5 → n = 6

E'=E_6-E_5

E'=(-0.378 eV)-(-0.544 eV) =0.166 eV

1.89 eV > 0.166 eV

E> E'

So,the n = 2 → n = 3 transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.

A ball is thrown straight up at time t=0 with an initial speed of 19m/s. Take the point of release to be y0=0 and upwards to be
Wittaler [7]
First we write the corresponding kinematics equations:
 a = -g
 v = -g * t + vo
 y = -g * ((t ^ 2) / 2) + vo * t + yo
 Substituting the values:
 y = - (9.81) * (((0.50) ^ 2) / 2) + (19) * (0.50) + (0) = 8.27m
 answer:
 the displacement at the time of 0.50s is 8.27m
