Taking into account the definition of electron affinity, negative electron affinity means that the anion of the element is more stable than the neutral atom.

Electron affinity is the energy exchanged when a neutral, gaseous atom, and in its ground state, captures an electron to form the anion.

In other words, electronon Affinity is the energy that is given off when a neutral atom in the gaseous state captures an electron to become a negative ion.

The value can be positive or negative. A negative electron affinity means energy must enter in order to bind an electron to the ion, being an endothermic process. If electron affinity is positive, the process is exothermic and occurs spontaneously.

Then, the negative electron affinity (energy is released) occurs when the atoms acquire a more stable configuration when capturing an electron, so the attractive force will predominate. Positive electron affinity (energy is absorbed): occurs when you have to provide energy to the atom to capture the ion.

In summary, negative electron affinity means that the anion of the element is more stable than the neutral atom.

A 15.0-μF capacitor is charged by a 130.0-V power supply, then disconnected from the power and connected in series with a 0.280-
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The resonant frequency of a circuit is the frequency \omega_0 at which the equivalent impedance of a circuit is purely real (the imaginary part is null).

Mathematically this frequency is described as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}(\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}})

Where

L = Inductance

C = Capacitance

Our values are given as

C = 15*10^{-6}\mu F

L = 0.280*10^{-3}mH

Replacing we have,

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}(\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}})

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}(\sqrt{\frac{1}{(15*10^{-6})(0.280*10^{-3})}})

f= 2455.81Hz

From this relationship we can also appreciate that the resonance frequency infers the maximum related transfer in the system and that therefore given an input a maximum output is obtained.

For this particular case, the smaller the capacitance and inductance values, the higher the frequency obtained is likely to be.

Einstein and Lorentz, being avid tennis players, play a fast-paced game on a court where they stand 25.0 m from each other. Bein
Lerok [7]

Answer:

A) 199.78 J

B) 9.292x10^14 J

C) 4.2x10^7 m/s

D) 0.65 m

E) 1.13x10^-8 sec

D) 2.94x10^-9 sec

Explanation:

mass of ball = 0.0580 kg

A)

If smashed at v = 83.0 m/s, KE is

KE = 0.5mv^2

= 0.5 x 0.0580 x 83.0^2

= 199.78 J

B) if returned at v = 1.79×10^8 m/s, KE will be

KE = 0.5mv^2

= 0.5 x 0.0580 x (1.79×10^8)^2

= 9.292x10^14 J

C) during Einstein's return, velocity of rabbit relative to players is

Vr = 2.21×108 m/s

Rabbit's velocity relative to ball = 2.21×10^8 - 1.79×10^8

= 4.2x10^7 m/s

D) the rabbit's speed approaches the speed of light so we consider relativistic effect. The rabbit's measured distance is

l = l°( 1 - v^2/c^2)

= 2.5(1 - 2.21/3)

= 2.5 x 0.26

= 0.65 m

E) according to the players, the time taken by the rabbit is

t = d/v = 2.5/ 2.21×10^8

= 1.13x10^-8 sec

F) the time for rabbit as measured by rabbit is relativistic

t = t°( 1 - v^2/c^2)

= 1.13x10^-8 (1 - 2.21/3)

= 1.13x10^-8 x 0.26

= 2.94x10^-9 sec
