An athlete of mass 70.0 kg applies a force of 500 N to a 30.0 kg luge, which is initially at rest, over a period of 5.00 s befor

e jumping onto the luge. Assuming there is no friction between the luge and the track on which it runs, what is its velocity after the athlete jumps on?

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

Acceleration of the luge = (500 N) / (30 kg) = 16 and 2/3 m/s²

After accelerating at that rate for 5 sec, its speed is (16-2/3) x (5) = 83-1/3 m/s .

(I pause slightly at this point, to reflect that this thing is now moving
at about 186 miles per hour.  I question that, and I check my work.
I reassure myself with two thoughts:  1). Maybe those things really
do move at that kind of speeds.  I don't know.  2). I was given the
numbers, and I didn't make them up, so I'm only responsible for the
math, not for the plausibility of the solution.) 

So the luge is moving at 83-1/3 m/s when he jumps on.  In order to maintain
that force against it for 5 seconds, he had to accelerate himself to almost-
if-not-totally the same speed ... necessary, no matter how implausible.

So, although it hasn't been mentioned, the pusher is also doing an enormous
amount of other work just to accelerate himself, and when he jumps aboard,
his own velocity already matches that of his luge.  I'm going to say that
after the jump, they continue on, together, coupled as one, at the same
speed as just before the jump.

Their speed together is <em>83-1/3 m/s</em> .

We can't state their <em>velocity</em>, because no information is given regarding
the direction of the track.

1 Calculate the size of the quantum involved in the excitation of (a) an electronic motion of frequency 1.0 × 1015 Hz, (b) a mol
torisob [31]

Answer: a) E= 6.63x10^-19J

E= 3.97×10^2KJ/mol

b) E = 3.31×10^-19J

E= 18.8×10^4 KJ/mol

C) E = 1.32×10^-33J

E= 8.01×10^-10KJ/mol

Explanation:

a) E = h ×f

h= planks constant= 6.626×10^-34

E=(6.626×10^-34)×(1.0×10^15)

E=6.63×10^-19J

1mole =6.02×10^23

E=( 6.63×10^-19)×(6.02×10^23)

E=3.97×10^2KJ/mol

b) E =(6.626×10^-34)/(1.0×10^15)

E=3.13×10^-19J

E= 3.13×10^-19) ×(6.02×10^23)

E= 18.8×10^3KJ/MOL

c) E= (6.626×10^-34) /0.5

E= 1.33×10^-33J

E= (1.33×10^-33) ×(6.02×10^23)

E= 8.01×10^-10KJ/mol

An electron accelerates through a 12.5 V potential difference, starting from rest, and then collides with a hydrogen atom, excit
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Bohr's atomic model

         E = - 13.606 / n²

where is the value of 13.606 eV is the energy of the ground state and n is the integer.

The energy acquired by the electron in units of electron volt (eV)

          E = e V

          E = 12.5 eV

all this energy is used to transfer an electron from the ground state to an excited state

        ΔE = 13.6060 (1 / n₀² - 1 / n²)

the ground state has n₀ = 1

       ΔE = 13.606 (1 -  1/n²)

        1 /n² = 1 - ΔE/13,606

         1 / n² = 1 - 12.5 / 13.606

         1 / n² = 0.08129

          n = √(1 / 0.08129)

          n = 3.5

 since n is an integer, maximun is

         n = 3

because it cannot give more energy than the electron has

From this level there can be transition to reach the base state.

 

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

For each of the problems below, you will need to draw a graph to find the solution.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Final velocity (v) of an object equals initial velocity (u) of that object plus acceleration (a) of the object times the elapsed time (t) from u to v. Use standard gravity, a = 9.80665 m/s2, for equations involving the Earth's gravitational force as the acceleration rate of an object.
