What produces the distinctive flame color of different substances when they are ignited?

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago
4 0

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.

What electric force would a stationary 3.8 C charge experience if it were far away from any other charges
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The electric force will be  0 N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The magnitude of the charge is  q_1 = 3.8 \ C

   

Generally from Coulombs law the electric force  between two charges is mathematically represented as

         F = \frac{ k  *  q_1 q_2 }{r^2}

Here r is the distance of separation between that two charges.

  Now from the question we are told that the charge is far away from any other charge hence we can say that the distance between the charge and any other charge is  r = \infty

So

       F = \frac{ k  *  3.8  * q_2 }{\infty^2}

=>    F =0 \ N

Hence the electric force will be  0 N

If we were to illuminate them only with light from the Balmer transition considered above, would the solar panels produce a curr
Ugo [173]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The reason why no current is produced are basically that, the wavelengths of light in the Balmer transition are reflected, not absorbed in solar panels, hence no current is produced.

The Balmer series consists of lines in the visible spectrum. It corresponds to emission of a photon of light when electrons descend from higher energy levels to the n=2 level in the hydrogen spectrum. The various wavelengths in the Balmer series can be separated by a prism since they are all in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In solar panels, light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series is merely reflected by the panel and not absorbed. Since light is not absorbed, no current can be produced when the panel is irradiated with light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series.

The formula v = √2.5r models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radiu
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The formula that models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radius of curvature r r, is in feet is given by :

v=\sqrt{2.5\ r}.........(1)

A highway crew measures the radius of curvature at an exit ramp on a highway as 380 feet, r = 380 feet

Put the value of r in equation (1) as :

v=\sqrt{2.5\ \times 380}

v = 30.82 m/s

So, the maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
