zhenek [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The electron’s wavefunction has at least one node (i.e., at least one place in space where it goes to zero).

Explanation:

We know that the p-orbitals have nodes. A node is a region where the probability of finding an electron goes down to zero.

P orbitals are oriented along the x,y,z Cartesian axes and are known to have angular nodes along the axes.

Hence, if an electron in a hydrogen atom is in a p state, the electron’s wavefunction has at least one node

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

Explain briefly how solar energy is used to generate electricity
valkas [14]

Answer:

Solar radiation may be converted directly into electricity by solar cells (photovoltaic cells). In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.

Is it using energy when someone stands against a locker that doesn’t move
soldi70 [24.7K]

When someone stands against a locker and is does not moving at all, then there will be no displacement and since displacement = 0

Work done also becomes equal to zero.

Work done is usually defined as change in energy. Since the work done is zero there has been no energy used.
