A question to think about on units: Suppose we wanted to exchange scientific information with a newly discovered species of inte

lligent life living on a planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri. And suppose that our new friends have managed to become fluent in our language, but have not yet had the opportunity to visit the Earth. Which of the following statements would they understand?
a. The mass of the electron is 9.10938188 x 10^-31.
b. The speed of light is 2.99792458 x 10^8 meters/second.
c. The ratio of the proton's mass to the electron's mass is 1836.153. Explain your reasoning

Answer:

b. The speed of light is 2.99792458 x 10^8 meters/second.

Explanation:

Speed of light is a universal constant and its value is same throughout the universe . So alien living near Alpha Centauri will quickly understand about it . But other statements are not universal . Mass of electron can vary  as per relativistic formula of Einstein . Similarly , mass of proton can also vary according to relativistic concept . It depends upon the velocity of particle . So, the ratio of mass of proton and mass of electron will also vary from one star to another .

Under what circumstances can energy level transitions occur?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)

Explanation:

Energy level transition occur when light rays strikes a metal surface to emit electron from the surface, a term known as photoelectric effect. This amount of electron emitted from the surface depends on the speed of light ray striking the metal surface.

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)

Find acceleration given the following:
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:df=378

Di=0

Vi=0

T=6s

Formula

Df=Di+Vit+1/2(at)2

378=0+0+6+1/2×a×t2

378=6+1/2×a×36

378=6+18a

18a=378+6=384

a=385/18=21.33(cm/s)/s
