Answer: The more massive one will have larger kinetic energy.

Explanation:

We know that when we drop an object, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

And to get the velocity, we need to integrate over time, to get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial speed of the object.

You can see that the mass of the object does not affect the velocity of it.

Then when we drop two marbles of different masses from the same height, we know that the final velocity of them will be equal.

Now, we also know that the kinetic energy can be written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass, and v is the velocity.

Then the kinetic energy of the marble with less mass can be written as:

k = (m/2)*v^2

And the kinetic energy for the more massive one is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

And we know that both of them have the same velocity, and M is larger than m, then we can conclude that the marble with larger mass will have larger kinetic energy.

A person climbs out of swimming pool and stands in the open air.Explain why evaporation of water from the surface of the persons
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The person feels cool at first because the swimming pool water is usually cool and he/she has that water on his body. But when it evaporates, the cool air directly touches his body and that's why he/she feels cold.

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Where

\lambda represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

n_f represents Final energy states

and n_i represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

now we will put the values into the above formula

= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )

= 1218888.889 m^{-1}

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of \lambda

\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.
