We are given a mercury atom in the ground state which absorbs 20 eV of energy. It is then ionized by losing an electron. We need to calculate the kinetic energy that the electron has after ionization.

The initial energy is 20 eV = 20 J/C
The electron charge is = 1.60217662 × 10-19<span> coulombs

To determine the kinetic energy, we can use this equation:

KE = 20 Joules / Coulombs * </span>1.60217662 × 10-19<span> coulombs 
KE = 1.25x10^20 Joules 

Therefore, the amount of kinetic energy that the electron has after ionization is </span>1.25x10^20 Joules or 1.25x10^17 kJ. <span />

I have an object that I want to know when it was made. I calculate that the object contains 0.12g of Iodine-131 but started with
Sav [38]

Answer: 71.72 days

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula: </u>

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}} (1)  

Where:  

A=0.12 g is the final amount of Iodine-131

A_{o}=60 g is the initial amount of Iodine-131

t is the time elapsed  

h=8 days is the half life of Iodine-131

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find t from (1):

0.12 g=(60 g)2^{\frac{-t}{8 days}} (2)  

\frac{0.12 g}{60g}=2^{\frac{-t}{8 days}} (3)  

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

ln(\frac{0.12 g}{60g})=ln(2^{\frac{-t}{8 days}}) (4)  

-6.21=-\frac{t}{8 days}ln(2) (5)

Finding t:

t=71.72 days

Archy [21]

Based on all we know about the terrestrial worlds, the  single factor appears to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny is size size of terrestrial planet .

According to the question

Terrestrial Planets:

They belongs to a class of planets that are like the earth

Geological destiny :

Geology is biological destiny: Whatever minerals land or are deposited in a place determine what or who can make a living there millions of years later

Based on all we know about the terrestrial worlds, what single factor appears to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny

i.e

The size of terrestrial planet is one of the factors to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny  

which determines how long the planet can retain internal heat, which drives geological activity because  Smaller worlds cool off faster and harden earlier .

Hence, Based on all we know about the terrestrial worlds, the  single factor appears to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny is size size of terrestrial planet .

If a ball is tossed straight up into the air, at what position is its potential energy the greatest? Question 3 options: When it
Gennadij [26K]

The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The potential energy of a body or object is due to its position. The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the highest point.

U = mgh

Where,

U - potential energy

m - mass

g - gravitation acceleration

h - height

Since the mass and gravitation acceleration is constant hence potential energy will be directly proportional to the height of the ball.

Therefore, the ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight.
