Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type

There are two possibilities for final stage of extremely massive stars. The first is a
makkiz [27]

Answer: Black hole.

Explanation:

As the massive star "compacts" under its own gravity, it triggers a massive supernova, after this point the remains of the star can become a neutron star, which is a very compact star made primarily, as the name says, of neutrons. The other possibility is a black hole, which is a finite region of space wherein it's interior there is a big concentration of mass, which creates a gravitational field strong enough that there is no particle that can escape it.

When t= 1 a stone B is thrown vertically upwards from ground level with speed 5ms (ii) find t when a and b collide
Ksju [112]

Answer:

i don't know if this is good for you but

Explanation:

ignoring frictional air resistance (drag) the speed on return is the same as when it left the ground (5 m/s but in the opposite direction).

Note: this points out a good reason for not firing live bullets into the air..they will return somewhere and at the same speed.

However, if you take into account the atmospheric drag the reurn speed will be somewhat smaller (but in the case of a bullet, probably still lethal.) Drag depends on many factors and is difficult to calculate.

A dandelion seed floats to the ground in a mild wind with a resultant velocity of 26.0 cm/s. If the horizontal component velocit
stira [4]

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

A school bus travels 50 km/hr for 0.75 hr. How far did the bus go?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Explanation:

speed = 50 km/h

time = 0.75 hr

dist. = time × speed

dist. = 0.75 × 50

dist.= 37.5 km

A tennis ball is hit into the air with a racket. When is the ball’s kinetic energy the greatest? Ignore air resistance.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer B is the correct answer

We know that kinetic energy  E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass of object and v is the velocity of object.

In this case only velocity is the variable, mass remains constant.

So point having higher velocity has higher kinetic energy.

When it leaves the racket, the ball will be having a certain height, but just before it reaches the ground it will not having any height. So maximum velocity of ball is at that time when  it reaches just above the ground.

So  option B is the correct answer.
