A science student observes three lines in an emission spectrum, one red, one yellow, and one blue. Which one was caused by an el

The transition that produced red light was caused by an electron jumping the shortest distance.

Visible light is made up of seven wavelengths the magnitude of the wavelength of a transition reflects the energy associated with such transition. The longer the wavelength shorter the transition that produced it.

Given that three lines in the visible spectrum produced three lines as follows;

Red - 625 - 740 nm

Yellow - 565 - 590 nm

Blue - 445 - 520 nm

We can see that the longest wavelength corresponds to red light hence it was caused by an electron jumping the shortest distance.

After their loss to U of A, the ASU sumdevils traveled back to Tempe which is 187
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The average speed is 20.8 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed for the trip is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time elapsed

For the trip in this problem, we have:

d = 187 km = 187,000 m is the distance travelled

The initial  time is 10:00 pm while the arriving time is 12:30 am: this means that the time elapsed is 2.5 hours. Converting into seconds,

t = 2.5 h \cdot (60)(60)=9000 s

Therefore, the average speed for the trip is

v=\frac{187,000}{9000}=20.8 m/s

100 °C is a greater temperature than which of the following?
ohaa [14]
When somebody hands you a Celsius°, it's easy to find the equivalent Fahrenheit°.

Fahrenheit° = (1.8 · Celsius°) + 32° .

So 100°C works out to 212°F.  

It's also easy to find the equivalent Kelvin.  Just add 273.15 to the Celsius.

So now you can see that  100°C  is equal to  A  and  D,
and it's less than  B .

The only one it's greater than is  C .

What causes an object to move, change direction or change speed?
Wittaler [7]
I believe it would be an unbalanced force. Because the forces are unbalanced, one side is stronger and, therefore, the object will move.

Which of these instruments is listed with the wrong type of lens that it uses?
VikaD [51]

The wrong type of lens-Microscope, concave

Explanation:

A microscope Basically  uses t<u>wo convex lenses to magnify an object, or specimen.</u>

There are  2 lenses in a microscope

  1. <u>Object Lens:</u>The lens that is closer to the object
  2. <u>Eyepiece:</u>The lens that is closer to the eye

Both the object lens and the  eyepiece, is a convex lens.

In a game of pool, the cue ball moves at a speed of 2 m/s toward the eight ball. When the cue ball hits the eight ball, the cue
agasfer [191]

Answer:

a)  p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s,  b) p_f = 1.2 kg m / s,  c)   θ = 12.36, d)  v_{2f} = 1.278 m/s

Explanation:

a system formed by the two balls, which are isolated and the forces during the collision are internal, therefore the moment is conserved

a) the initial impulse is

        p₀ = m v₁₀ + 0

        p₀ = 0.6 2

        p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s

b) as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved so

       p_f = 1.2 kg m / s

we define a reference system where the x-axis coincides with the initial movement of the cue ball

we write the final moment for each axis

X axis

        p₀ₓ = 1.2 kg m / s

        p_{fx} = m v1f cos 20 + m v2f cos θ

        p₀ = p_f

       1.2 = 0.6 (-0.8) cos 20+ 0.6 v_{2f} cos θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

Y axis  

       p_{oy} = 0

       p_{fy} = m v_{1f} sin 20 + m v_{2f} cos θ

       0 = 0.6 (-0.8) sin 20 + 0.6 v_{2f} sin θ

       0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

we write our system of equations

        0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

divide to solve

        0.219 = tan θ

         θ = tan⁻¹ 0.21919

         θ = 12.36

let's look for speed

           0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

            v_{2f} = 0.2736 / sin 12.36

           v_{2f} = 1.278 m / s
