g100num [7]3 years ago
7 0

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.

mass - 3kg

height - 3 because (8-5)

gravity is 9.8kg

so 3 times 3 times 9.8 = 88.2J

The length of the mercury thread is found to be 4cm and 24cm at ice point and steam point respectively on an ungraduated thermom
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5     since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100  deg C = 20 deg C   the requested temperature
