I'm assuming the question is what is the robin's speed relative to to the ground...

Create an equation that describes its relative motion.

rVg = rVa + aVg


Substitute values.

rVg = 12 m/s [N] + 6.8 m/s [E]


Use vector addition.

| rVg | = √ | rVa |² + | aVg |²

| rVg | = √ 144 m²/s² + 46.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = √ 19<u>0</u>.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = 1<u>3</u>.78 m/s


Find direction.

tanФ = aVg / rVa

tanФ = 6.8 m/s / 12 m/s

Ф = 29°


Therefore, the velocity of the robin relative to the ground is 14 m/s [N29°E]

Give a combination of four quantum numbers that could be assigned to an electron occupying a 5p orbital.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

n=5, l=1, m(l) = -1, m(s)= + 1/2

Explanation:

Quantum number are used to describe the position and spin of an electron inside an atom. There are four types of quantum number for describing an electron inside an atom. They are: the principal quantum number, spin quantum number, magnetic quantum number and angular momentum quantum number.

(1).PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER: denoted by n, and has possible values of n= 1,2,3,4,.... IN HERE, n= 5

(2).ANGULAR MOMENTUM QUANTUM NUMBER: it is denoted by l, and has possible values of l= 0,1,2,3,...,(n-1).

Our l here is one( that is, s-orbital=0, p-orbital=1, d-orbital= 3 and so on)

(3).MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER: The magnetic quantum number, which is denoted by m subscribt l, specifies the exact orbital in which you can find the electron. It has values ranging from -l,...,-1,0,1,...,l.

Here, our value is -1 that is m(l)= -1

(4).SPIN QUANTUM NUMBER: describes the orientation of electrons. Electrons can only have two values here, either a positive one and the half(+1/2) that is the spin up electron or the negative one and half(-1/2) that is the spin down electron.
