pashok25 [27]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Potential Eenergy is  possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.  Mechanical energy is an energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position

Nataly_w [17]

The idea that "students ' immune systems have declined due to the use of hand sanitizers " is a hypothesis.

The term hypothesis refers to an intelligent guess or idea often based which is subject to scientific investigation via experiments.

A hypothesis may be right or wrong. We can only prove a hypothesis by subjecting it to a series of rigorous experiments.

Thus Collette's idea is a hypothesis.

How much energy is required to ionize hydrogen when it is in the n = 5 state?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

0.544 eV

Explanation:

To ionize the hydrogen atom n_f\rightarrow infinte

So the required energy is \Delta E=13.6(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2}) as  n_f\rightarrow infinte

So \Delta E=13.6\frac{1}{n_i^2}

We have to calculate the energy required to ionize hydrogen atom when it is in n=5

So the energy should be less than \Delta E=13.6\frac{1}{5^2}=0.544eV

Nonamiya [84]
<span>Plate tectonics is the theory that the earth's crust is broken up into plates that float on top of a hotter and more fluid layer below. Evidence to support this theory has been uncovered through the study of the earth's past magnetic field, known as paleomagnetism.</span>
