Answer:

When the electrons jump to a higher energy state, they release energy as electromagnetic radiation, light.

Explanation:

When the solar wind gets past the magnetic field and travels towards the Earth, it runs into the atmosphere. As the protons and electrons from the solar wind hit the particles in the Earth's atmosphere, they release energy – and this is what causes the northern lights.

How much energy is imparted to an electron as it flows through a 6 V battery from the positive to the negative terminal? Express

Hatshy [7]

The potential difference does work on the electron. The work is given by:
W = Vq
W = work, V = potential difference, q = electron charge

Given values:
V = 6V, q = 1.6x10^-19C

Plug in and solve for W:
W = 6(1.6x10^-19)
W = 0.96aJ

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud

klio [65]

If the applied force is in the same direction as the object's displacement, the work done on the object is:

W = Fd

W = work, F = force, d = displacement

Given values:

F = 45N

d = 12m

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 45(12)

W = 540J
