Answer:

The energy of an electron in the 8th shell is given by:  -0.2125 eV

The number of subshells is:  8

The number of orbitals is:  64

The number of electrons that fit on this shell is: 128

Explanation:

First, we find the energy of the electrons in the 8th shell. In order to do this, we recall that the energy of an electron (in the Hydrogen atom) whose principal number is n is given by:

E_{n}=-13.6\frac{1}{n^{2}}

Substituting n=8, we find that the energy is given by:

E_{8} = -13.6\frac{1}{8^{2}}=-0.2125

In order to find the number of subshells we recall that, for a given principal quantum number n, the possible values of the quantum number l, which corresponds to the number of subshells are:

0, 1, 2, ... , n-1

Since n = 8 in our problem, the possible values of l are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Therefore, the number of subshells are 8.

Now we continue with the number of orbitals. For every subshell l, we have 2l+1 possible values of m, which correspond to the orbitals. Since the possible values of l are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, therefore, we have to perform the sum:

\sum_{l=0}^{7}(2l+1) = 8^2=64

And we can conclude that the number of orbitals is equal to 64.

Finally, we know that we can fit two electrons per orbital, therefore we can have 64*2 = 128 electrons in the shell corresponding to n=8.

Answer:

The direction of magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by the right hand thumb rule. If the thumb points in the direction of current the fingers curl along the direction of magnetic field.

further, The red end of the compass needle points in the direction of external magnetic field. As the red end of the needle is pointing away from us, the external magnetic field at its location should also be directed away from us. Using the right hand thumb rule, we can see that this is only possible if the current in the wire is flowing upwards.

If the train can slow down at a rate of 0.625 m/s2, how long, in seconds, does it take to come to a stop from this velocity?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

66.28 s

Explanation:

Step 1:

Acceleration,a=0.065m/s^2

Time,t=9.75 min=9.75\times 60=585s

1 min=60 s

Initial velocity,u=3.4m/s

We have to find the final velocity of train.

We know that

v=u+at

Substitute the values

v=3.4+0.065(585)=41.425m/s

Step 2:

Now, initial velocity,u=41.425m/s

Deceleration,a=-0.625m/s^2

Because the train velocity decreases

Final velocity, v=0

Again, substitute the values in the above formula

0-41.425=-0.625t

-41.425=-0.625t

t=\frac{-41.425}{-0.625}

t=66.28s

Hence, the train takes 66.28 s to come to stop from velocity 41.425m/s.
