What is a primary source?

Physics

1 answer:

Mama L [17]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A primary source is one that is written by the person who lived through an advenure or is one doing the action and recording it.

In this case, the answer is B.

Most frequently, for a historian, a primary source is something like a diary or a bunch of letter written by someone experiencing something.

It cannot be about someone else's work. Not C or D

A textbook is not the answer either. It is a bulky summary of scientific, or other kind of thought.

Describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and several observations which support this model.

PIT_PIT [208]

This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic

A box is being dragged with a horizontal force of 65 N for 12 meters. If there is a force of friction acting on it

asambeis [7]

Answer:

A. 780 J

B. 120 J

C. 660 J

Explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

A. Determination of the work done by the dragging force.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Workdone (Wd) by dragging force =?

Wd = Fₔ × s

Wd = 65 × 12

Wd = 780 J

Therefore, the work done by the dragging force is 780 J

B. Determination of the work done by friction.

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Workdone (Wd) by friction =?

Wd = Fբ × s

Wd = 10 × 12

Wd = 120 J

Therefore, the work done by friction is 120 J

C. Determination of the net work done on the box.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the box. This can be obtained as follow:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fբ

Fₙ = 65 – 10

Fₙ = 55 N

Thus, the net force acting on the box is 55 N

Finally, we shall determine the net work done on the box as follow:

Distance (s) = 12 m

Net force (Fₙ) = 55 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Wd = Fₙ × s

Wd = 55 × 12

Wd = 660 J

Therefore, the net work done on the box is 660 J

Suppose you have a Frisbee with a mass of 0.10 kg. You first throw it with a force of 5N and then change the force you throw it

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The acceleration increases.

Explanation:

From Newton's 2nd Law, we have $\Sigma F=ma$ . We can see that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. Therefore, as force increases, either mass or acceleration must increase as well, and vice versa. Since mass is maintained here, if you increase the force applied to the Frisbee, the acceleration will increase as well.

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lensThe image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of th

N76 [4]

Answer:

7/150

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Object distance (u) = 75cm

Image distance (v) = 3.5cm

Magnification (M) =..?

Magnification is simply defined as:

Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)

M = v /u

With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:

M = v/u

M = 3.5/75

M = 7/150

Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.
