Answer:

Electrons in different metals

Explanation:

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

An object is thrown directly up (positive direction) with a velocity (vo) of 20.0 m/s and do= 0. How high does it rise (v = 0 cm

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The value of d is 20.4 m.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity = 20 m/s

Final velocity = 0

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$v = u+gt$

Where, u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

Put the value into the formula

$t = \dfrac{20}{9.8}$

$t= 2.04\ sec$

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

$s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.04)^2$

$s=20.4\ m$

Hence, The value of d is 20.4 m.

Recall that the blocks can only move along the x axis. the x components of their velocities at a certain moment are v1x and v2x.

Contact [7]

The center of mass is given with this formula:
$x_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i}{M}$
Velocity is:
$v=\frac{dv}{dt}$
So, for the velocity of the center of mass we have:
$\frac{dx_c}{dt}=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}d(m_ix_i)}{Mdt}\\
v_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}p_i}{M}\\$
In our case it is:
$v_{xc}=\frac{m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}}{m_1+m_2}$
