The region a represents the distance of the electron from the nucleus.

According to the wave mechanical model of the atom, the probability of finding an electron within a given volume element (representing the atom) is the square of the wave function psi.

Since a is the region in space where there is the greatest probability of finding the electron in the atom, it follows that distance of the electron form the atom is always a.

Squids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet pr
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.25 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of momentum - the total momentum of the squid-water system must be conserved.

Initially, the squid and the water are at rest, so the total momentum is zero:

p_i = 0

After the squid ejects the water, the total momentum is

p_f = m_s v_s + m_w v_w

where

m_s = 1.60 kg is the mass of the squid

v_s is the velocity of the squid

m_2 = 0.115 kg is the mass of the water

v_w = 3.50 m/s is the velocity of the water

Due to the conservation of momentum,

p_i = p_f

so

0=m_s v_s + m_w v_w

so we can find the final velocity of the squid:

v_s = -\frac{m_w v_w}{m_s}=-\frac{(0.115 kg)(3.50 m/s)}{1.60 kg}=-0.25 m/s

and the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of the water.

It takes 100,832 J of work to lift an elevator 18.3 meters. If this is done in 21.0 seconds, what is the average power of the el
Aneli [31]

Answer:

P=4801.5

Explanation:

Given :

work done = W = 100,832 J

time = 21.0 sec

Find:

P = ?

Formula:

P = W/t

Solution:

P = W/t

P = 100,832/21.0

  =  4801.52 J/s or Watts

you stretch a spring by a distance of 0.3 m. the spring has a spring constant of 440 n/m. when you release the spring, it snaps
Alina [70]

Answer:

19.8 J

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the spring (sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy) must be conserved:

K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f (1)

where we have

K_i is the initial kinetic energy of the spring, which is zero because the spring starts from rest (2)

U_i is the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is fully stretched

K_f is the kinetic energy of the spring when it reaches the natural length

U_f is the elastic potential energy of the spring when it reaches its natural length, which is zero because the stretch in this case is zero (3)

So

U_i = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x_i)^2

where

k = 440 N/m is the spring constant

\Delta x_i = 0.3 m is the initial stretching of the spring

Substituting,

U_i = \frac{1}{2}(440)(0.3)^2=19.8 J

And so using eq.(1) and keeping in mind (2) and (3) we find

K_f= U_i = 19.8 J

Lelu [443]
Increase. The Law of Boyle and Gay Lussac subscribes that when the pressure remains constant, V/T is constant. So if T rises, so must V to keep the number constant.
