S = ut + 1/2gt²

where S = distance

50 cm = 0.5m

u is initial velocity = 0

S = 0*t + 1/2gt²

S = 1/2gt²

0.5 = 1/2 g (0.778²)

2*0.5 = g(0.778²)

1/(0.778²) = g

g = 1.65m/s²

The value of g is grossly errored due to the values obtained since the known value of g on earth is 9.8m/s² the obtained value rounds off to the value of g on moon.

Calculate the change in the energy of an electron that moves from the n = 3 level to the n = 2 level. What type of light is emit
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV

Converting into Joules,

E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for \lambda,

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.

A lightbulb has a power of 100 W and is used for 4 hours. A microwave has a power of 1200 W and is used for 5 minutes. How much
ladessa [460]

Answer:

a. E=1440KJ

b. E=360KJ

c. E=1.8 J

Explanation:

I have the power (Watts) is expressed as Energy (Joules) / Time (seconds), also I have to1hour * \frac{60min}{1hour}*\frac{60s}{1min}\\1h=3600s

so, for the lightbulb

100W= \frac{Energy}{3600s*4}\\Energy=100W*14400s\\ E=1440000J =1440KJ

Analogously, for the microwave

1200W= \frac{Energy}{60s*5}\\Energy=1200W*300s\\ E=360000J =360KJ

Now, I have to express the efficiency as Heat energy / power * 100 so1.8= \frac{Heat Energy}{100W}*100\\Heat Energy=1.8J

Done

Just as a skydiver steps out of the helicopter with no forward velocity someone who’s watching start stopwatch so the time is ze
Kobotan [32]

Answer: zero.


Justification:


The downward velocity of the sky diver just before starting to fall is zero, assuming that the helicopter is not moving but just hovering.


Before starting to fall, the velocity of the skydiver is the same of the helicopter, which is zero. It is only, once she jumps out of the helicopter that her weight is not supported by the helicopter and so the gravitational force of the Earth attracts the skydiver and she starts to gain velocity at a rate equal to g (around 9.81 m/s²).
