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 />

Think about the various energy sources such as the sun, fossil fuels, water, wind, and nuclear power. What is the energy source
lakkis [162]

Answer:

<em>The energy source that powers my home is gotten from burning of fossil fuels.</em>

<em>No! I do not like this energy source.</em>

<em>I personally would prefer solar source of electricity</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels are fuels gotten from the decomposition of dead organisms over time, under intense heat and pressure</em>. They are usually found buried beneath the earth's crust where they have been formed and trapped.

Most electricity generating stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels like natural gas and gasoline to generate electricity. <em>The problem with fossil fuels are the various part that they play in increasing carbon footprints in the atmosphere. The excess carbon in the atmosphere has been a major contributor to the global warming of planet Earth.  </em>

My preference for solar energy source is first due to its abundance unlike the fossil fuels that are already diminishing in storage beneath the earth's crust. Also, <em>solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not leave any damage on earth from its use</em>. It also promises to be a cheap source of power in the future with advances in solar technologies.

Two billiard balls of equal mass move at right angles and meet at the origin of an xy coordinate system. Initially ball A is mov
frez [133]

Answer:

Speed of ball A after collision is 3.7 m/s

Speed of ball B after collision is 2 m/s

Direction of ball A after collision is towards positive x axis

Total momentum after collision is m×4·21 kgm/s

Total kinetic energy after collision is m×8·85 J

Explanation:

<h3>If we consider two balls as a system as there is no external force initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system</h3>

Let the mass of each ball be m kg

v_{1} be the velocity of ball A along positive x axis

v_{2} be the velocity of ball A along positive y axis

u be the velocity of ball B along positive y axis

Conservation of momentum along x axis

m×3·7 = m× v_{1}

∴  v_{1} = 3.7 m/s along positive x axis

Conservation of momentum along y axis

m×2 = m×u + m× v_{2}

2 = u +  v_{2} → equation 1

<h3>Assuming that there is no permanent deformation between the balls we can say that it is an elastic collision</h3><h3>And for an elastic collision, coefficient of restitution = 1</h3>

∴ relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation

-2 =  v_{2} - u → equation 2

By adding both equations 1 and 2 we get

v_{2} = 0

∴ u = 2 m/s along positive y axis

Kinetic energy before collision and after collision remains constant because it is an elastic collision

Kinetic energy = (m×2² + m×3·7²)÷2

                         = 8·85×m J

Total momentum = m×√(2² + 3·7²)

                             = m× 4·21 kgm/s

fomenos
The electromagnetic radiation produced when a charged particle moves spirally in a magnetic field is called <span>synchrotron radiation. This phenomenon occurs due to the fact the particle is accelerated radially (due to the presence of the magnetic field), and every charged particle when it is accelerated emits electromagnetic radiation.</span>

A 2.40 kg ball is attached to an unknown spring and allowed to oscillate. The figure below shows a graph of the ball’s position
irga5000 [103]

(a) The period of the oscillation is 0.8 s.

(b) The frequency of the oscillation is 1.25 Hz.

(c) The angular frequency of the oscillation is 7.885 rad/s.

(d) The amplitude of the oscillation is 3 cm.

(e) The force constant of the spring is 148.1 N/m.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the ball, m = 2.4 kg</em>

<em />

From the given graph, we can determine the missing parameters.

The amplitude of the wave is the maximum displacement, A = 3 cm

The period of the oscillation is the time taken to make one complete cycle.

T = 0.8 s

The frequency of the oscillation is calculated as follows;

f = \frac{1}{T} \\\\f = \frac{1 }{0.8} \\\\f = 1.25 \ Hz

The angular frequency of the oscillation is calculated as follows;

\omega = 2\pi f\\\\\omega = 2\pi \times 1.25\\\\\omega = 7.855 \ rad/s

The force constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\ k = \omega ^2 m\\\\k = (7.855)^2 \times 2.4\\\\k = 148.1 \ N/m
