Answer:

something that can be burned to produce heat

Explanation:

Combustion can be defined as an exothermic chemical reaction between physical substances, usually in the presence of oxygen and hydrocarbons to produce heat, light and carbon.

A fuel can be defined as something that can be burned to produce heat.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Two objects are moving in the xy-plane. Object A has a mass of 3.2 kg and has a velocity = (2.3 m/s)i+ (4.2 m/s)j and object B h

The total momentum of the system is 2.14i + 21.27j.

A vector quantity with both direction and magnitude is momentum. Kg m/s (kilogram meter per second) or N s serve as its units (newton second).

The total starting momentum of a system must match the entire final momentum of the system since momentum is a conserved quantity. The overall momentum does not change.

The total momentum of the system is defined as follows:

As momentum is vector quantity and vectors can be added, so, the momentum of a system is given by

P = Pₓ + P'

where Pₓ is the x-component of momentum

P' is the y-component of the momentum

Also, we know that

P=mv

where m is mass

v is velocity

Thus,

P = Pₓ + P'

P = m₁vₓ + m₂v'

vₓ is the x-component of the velocity

v' is the y- component of the velocity

Given, m₁= 3.2kg

m₂ = 2.9kg

Now,

P = 3.2 (2.3i + 4.2j) + 2.9 (-1.8i +2.7j)

P = (7.36i + 13.44j) + (-5.22i + 7.83j)

P = 2.14i + 21.27j

Thus, the total momentum of the given system is 2.14i + 21.27j.

A photon ionizes a hydrogen atom from the ground state. The liberated electron 11. recombines with a proton into the first excit

anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

Explanation:

given,

energy at ground level = -13.6 e V

energy at first exited state = - 3.4 e V

A photon of energy ionized from ground state and electron of energy K is released.

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

K combine with photon in first exited state giving out photon of energy

$h\nu_2 =\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=\dfrac{12400}{466}$

= 26.6 e V

h c = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸ = 12400 e V A°

K + ( 3.4 ) = 26.6 e V

a) energy of free electron

K = 26.6 - 3.4 = 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

h ν₁ = 23.2 + 13.6

= 36.8 e V

energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

How does the total amount of energy change as the spring goes up and down?

NeX [460]

The total amount of energy always stays the same because of the law of conservation of energy, meaning that there is always the same amount of energy, it just gets turned into different forms like potential energy, kinetic energy, sound, thermal, etc.
