Distinguish between pressure and force in the case of wang yourself on a common bathroom scale
bixtya [17]

Answer: hey here's your answer...

Explanation: We can think of a force as a push on a surface, such as the force due to gravity you exert when standing on a bathroom scale. Pressure involves the distribution of force. The scale measures force, not pressure, so your weight reading is the same no matter how you distribute your weight on the scale.

Hope this helps...

Have a nice day-

Answer:

Explanation:

The height to which a ball will bounce depends on the height from which it is dropped, what the ball is made out of (and if it is inflated, what the pressure is), and what the surface it bounces from is made out of. The radius of the ball doesn't really matter, if you are measuring the height of the ball from the bottom of the ball to the ground.

A ball's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height. At the bottom, just before the bounce, this energy is now all in the form of kinetic energy. After the bounce, the ball and the ground or floor have absorbed some of that energy and have become warmer and have made a noise. This energy lost in the bounce is a more or less constant fraction of the energy of the ball before the bounce. As the ball goes back up, kinetic energy (now a bit less) gets traded back for gravitational potential energy, and it will rise back to a height that is the original height times (1-fraction of energy lost). We'll call this number f. For a superball, f may be around 90% (0.9) or perhaps even bigger. For a steel ball on a thick steel plate, f is >0.95. For a properly inflated basketball, f is about 0.75. For a squash ball, f might be less than 0.5 or 0.25 - squash balls are not very bouncy. The steel ball on an unvarnished pine wood floor may not bounce at all, but rather make a dent, and so what the floor is made out of makes quite a lot of difference.

Which energy depends the arbitrarily assigned zero level
Serga [27]

Potential energy does.

A book on the floor has negative potential energy relative to the seat
of your chair, zero potential energy relative to the floor, and a whole
bunch of positive potential energy relative to the ground if the floor
is the floor of the passenger jet in which you are cruising and dropped
your book on the floor.

Why is the sun considerad as the main source of energy?​
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The sun is considered as the main source of energy since it is the source of nearly all the earth's energy. Plants produce food using sunlight, and the food we get from plants and animals also has its primary sunlight source.

Hoped it helps you.

An excited atom decays to its ground state and emits a photon of green light. If instead the atom decays to an intermediate stat
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the Planck equation

             E = h f

And the speed of light

            c = λ f

            f = c / λ

We replace

            E = h c / λ

The wavelength of the green light is of the order of 500 nm, let's calculate the energy

          E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ /λ

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ /λ

          λ = 500 nm = 500 10⁻⁹ m

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 500 10⁻⁹

          E = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ J

That is the energy of the transition for a transition is an intermediate state the energy must be less, this implies that the wavelength must increase. For the explicit case of a state with half of this energy

            E_{int} = E / 2

             E_{int} = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ / 2 = 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

Let's clear and calculate

           λ = h c / E

           λ = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

           λ = 1 10⁻⁶ m

Let's reduce to nm

          λ = 1000 nm

This wavelength is in the infrared region

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength
