I know the acceleration due to gravity (ie 9.8 m/s2) will have a negative sign when falling down, a positive one when going up.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Accerelation is measured by change in velocity. So naturally, if an object is slowing down, its velocity is decreasing so acceleration is negative. If it is speeding up velocity is increasing so positive acceleration.

(Velocity final - Velocity initial)/t

Note that this does not apply only to gravity, but to all linear accelerations

What is the student's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill if he is moving

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv^2

Let's apply the formula:

KE = 1/2 mv^2

KE = 1/2 (65kg) (18m/s)^2

KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ

Two bicyclists are accelerating forward in a straight line, and Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2. If the net force on the bike

Solnce55 [7]

If Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2 it the follows that biker 1 has a greater acceleration than Biker 2.

<h3>What is the Newton second law?</h3>

The Newton second law gives the relationship between the force and the acceleration. We know that; acceleration = Force/mass.

Now if Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2 it the follows that biker 1 has a greater acceleration than Biker 2.

Use the Bohr model to address this question. When a hydrogen atom makes a transition from the 5 th energy level to the 2nd, coun

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A. 2.82 eV

B. 439nm

C. 59.5 angstroms

Explanation:

A. To calculate the energy of the photon emitted you use the following formula:

$E_{n1,n2}=-13.4(\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})$ (1)

n1: final state = 5

n2: initial state = 2

Where the energy is electron volts. You replace the values of n1 and n2 in the equation (1):

$E_{5,2}=-13.6(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=2.82eV$

B. The energy of the emitted photon is given by the following formula:

$E=h\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (2)

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^{-34} kgm^2/s

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

λ: wavelength of the photon

You first convert the energy from eV to J:

$2.82eV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{18}eV}=4.517*10^{-19}J$

Next, you use the equation (2) and solve for λ:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.62*10^{-34} kg m^2/s)(3*10^8m/s)}{4.517*10^{-19}J}=4.39*10^{-7}m=439*10^{-9}m=439nm$

C. The radius of the orbit is given by:

$r_n=n^2a_o$ (3)

where ao is the Bohr's radius = 2.380 Angstroms

You use the equation (3) with n=5:

$r_5=5^2(2.380)=59.5$

hence, the radius of the atom in its 5-th state is 59.5 anstrongs

makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

Following are two interactions that are generally involved when we use a TV remote control to change the channel :

1. Figure touches remote buttons, and its a short range interaction.

2. Now remote sends signal to Television, this is a long range interaction.
