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.

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

$\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}$

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

A skydiver of mass 80kg jumps from a slow moving aircraft and reach a terminal speed of 50 m/s. What's her acceleration when her

miskamm [114]

Answer:

a = g = 9.81[m/s^2]

Explanation:

This problem can be solve using the second law of Newton.

We know that the forces acting over the skydiver are only his weight, and it is equal to the product of the mass by the acceleration.

m*g = m*a

where:

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

Note: If the skydiver will be under air resistance forces his acceleration will be different.
