Answer:

The translational kinetic energy is 225 J

The rotational kinetic energy is 225 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wheel, m = 2-kg

linear speed of the wheel, v = 15 m/s

Transnational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂MV²

where;

M is mass of the moving object

V is the velocity of the object

E = ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Rotational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂Iω²

where;

I is moment of inertia

ω is angular velocity

$E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*(\frac{v}{r})^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*\frac{v^2}{r^2} \\\\E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

E = ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Thus, the translational kinetic energy is equal to rotational kinetic energy

Two particles with charges are initially very far apart (effectively an infinite distance apart). They are then fixed at positio

ddd [48]

Answer:

potential energy increases.

Explanation:

The potential energy between the two charged particles is given by

U = k Q q / r

If they are very far apart then r tends to infinity and the potential energy is zero.

If they come closer then the potential energy between the two charged particles increases.

Thus, the potential energy increases.

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, $3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

Neko [114]

Answer: 185.5672566

Explanation: The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.
