Answer:

The change in kinetic energy is twice the change in momentum

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

While the kinetic energy is given by

We want to check how these two quantities change when the speed of the object doubles, therefore when the new velocity is

For the momentum, we have

So, the momentum doubles.

For the kinetic energy, we have

So, the kinetic energy quadruples.

Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is twice the change in momentum.

Answer:

As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.

These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.

We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)

Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.

Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.

And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.

What elements are good conductors of electricity?
kramer
In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .
