Which of the following best describes the function of a plant's flowers?

noname [10]

Answer: The function of a plant's flower is reproduce. Since the flowers are the reproductive organs of plant, they mediate the joining of the sperm, contained within pollen, to the ovules contained in the ovary.

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.

Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 225 kg and it

Orlov [11]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and sum of forces in bodies.

From Newton's second law we understand that

$F= ma (\rightarrow$ Gravity at this case)

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

Also we know that

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} \Rightarrow m = \rho V$

Part A) The buoyant force acting on the balloon is given as

$F_b = ma$

As mass is equal to the density and Volume and acceleration equal to Gravity constant

$F_b = \rho V g$

$F_b = 1.2*323*9.8$

$F_b = 3798.5$

PART B) The forces acting on the balloon would be given by the upper thrust force given by the fluid and its weight, then

$F_{net} = F_b -W$

$F_{net} = F_b -(mg+\rho_H Vg)$

$F_{net} = 3798.5-(9.8*225*9.8*0.179*323)$

$F_{net} = 1030N$

PART C) The additional mass that can the balloon support in equilibrium is given as

$F_{net} = m' g$

$m' =\frac{F_{net}}{g}$

$m' = \frac{1030}{9.8}$

$m' = 105Kg$

what is the energy (in j) of a photon required to excite an electron from n = 2 to n = 8 in a he⁺ ion? submit an answer to three

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Approximately $5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}$ .

Explanation:

Since the result needs to be accurate to three significant figures, keep at least four significant figures in the calculations.

Look up the Rydberg constant for hydrogen: $R_{\text{H}} \approx 1.0968\times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}$ .

Look up the speed of light in vacuum: $c \approx 2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Look up Planck's constant: $h \approx 6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}$ .

Apply the Rydberg formula to find the wavelength $\lambda$ (in vacuum) of the photon in question:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{\lambda} &= R_{\text{H}} \, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\end{aligned}$ .

The frequency of that photon would be:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda}\end{aligned}$ .

Combine this expression with the Rydberg formula to find the frequency of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda} \\ &= c\, \left(\frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \\ &= c\, \left(R_{\text{H}}\, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\right) \\ &\approx (2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &\quad \times (1.0968 \times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}}) \times \left(\frac{1}{2^{2}} - \frac{1}{8^{2}}\right)\\ &\approx 7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}} \end{aligned}$ .

Apply the Einstein-Planck equation to find the energy of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}E &= h\, f \\ &\approx (6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}) \times (7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}) \\ &\approx 5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to three significant figures.)
