Answer:

2.5 ms^-2

Explanation:

acceleration

= (final velocity - initial velocity)/time

= [(40m/s) - (20m/s)]/8s

= (20m/s)/8s

= 5/2 m/s²

= 2.5 m/s²

= 2.5 ms^-2

Answer:

a = 0m/s²

Explanation:

Average acceleration = (change in velocity)/(time it takes). Since the car's change in velocity is zero, its acceleration is zero.

sleet_krkn [62]

The answer is "156.6 m/s".

This is how we calculate this;

-N + mg = ma = mv²/r

For "weightlessness" N = 0, so

0 = mg - mv²/r

g - v²/r = 0

v =√( gr)
g = 9.8 and r = 2.5km = 2500 m

v = √(9.8 x 2500)

= 156.6 m/s

The Hi line of the Balmer series is emitted in the transition from n = 3 to n = 2. Compute the wavelength of this line for l H a

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\lambda=550\ nm$

Explanation:

The Hi line of the Balmer series is emitted in the transition from n = 3 to n = 2 i.e. $n_i=3$ and $n_f=2$

The wavelength of Hi line of the Balmer series is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_f}-\dfrac{1}{n_i})$

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=1.09\times 10^7\times (\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3})$

$\lambda=5.50\times 10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=550\ nm$

So, the wavelength for this line is 550 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.
