What is another metaphor (aside from the fact that a piano can only produce certain notes) that could help someone understand en

ergy quantization at the atomic level? Explain your answer.
The text it is referring to is:
Because protons and electrons in an atom carry opposite charges, they are attracted to each other and thus maintain the boundaries of the atom as a singular closed system. This means that an atom’s energy is quantized, or fixed to a certain amount. Just like a piano can only produce a certain set of notes that correspond to its keys, an atom of a certain element can only contain a certain fixed amount of energy.

Answer:

Another metaphor that can help explain energy quantization at the atomic level is the number of teams at different stages in the Football World Cup tournament taking each stage as a given amount of energy gained by the teams at that stage as follows;

Stage 1 Group Stage

The number of teams in the group stage = 32, Energy per team = 1

Knock out stages

Round of 16

The number of teams in the round of 16 stage = 16,  Energy per team = 2

Semi final

The number of teams in the semi final stage =  8, Energy per team = 4

Quarter final

The number of teams in the quarter final stage = 4, Energy per team = 8

Final

The number of teams in the semi final stage = 2,  Energy per team = 16

The winning team

The number of teams that win the World Cup = 1,  Energy of the team = 32

As seen as each team has a specific energy level at each stage of the world cup and there can not any energy value that is an intermediate value of the energy of the teams each at each stage, so also at the atomic level particles within the atom and therefore the atom itself can possess only specific quantum of energy values in a given level or state.

Sachi wants to throw a water balloon to knock over a target and win a prize. The target will only fall over if it is hit with a
posledela

Answer:

3.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the balloon (m) = 11.4 g = 0.0114 kg ( 1 kg = 1000 g)

Force acting on the balloon (F) = 0.035 N

Acceleration with which the balloon must be hit (a) = ?

Now, we know that, from Newton's second law, net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.

Therefore, framing in equation form, we have:

F=ma

Rewriting in terms of acceleration 'a', we get:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Now, substitute the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

a=\frac{0.035\ N}{0.0114\ kg}\\\\a=3.07\approx 3.1\ m/s^2(Nearest\ tenth)

Therefore, the acceleration of the water balloon to reach the target must be equal to 3.1 m/s².

The diagram shows the electric field due to point charge Q. Which statements are correct? Check all that apply.
Bess [88]

Answer:

The <em>correct</em> statements  are:

  • <em>A. The electric field is nonuniform.</em>
  • <em>D. Charge Q is positive.</em>
  • <em>E. If charge A moves toward charge Q, it must be a negative charge</em>

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

  • A. The electric field is nonuniform.
  • B. The electric field is uniform.
  • C. Charge Q is negative.
  • D. Charge Q is positive.
  • E. If charge A moves toward charge Q, it must be a negative charge.
  • F. If charge A moves toward charge Q, it must be a positive charge.

<h2>Solution</h2>

The <em>electric field</em> is the electrostatic force per unit of charge,  

         \vec E=\dfrac{\vec F}{Q}

around around a charge, where another charge would experience the electrostatic force.

The electric field lines are shown in a diagram with arrows ditributed radially away from a positive charge and radially toward a negative charge.

Since the arrows are away from Q, Q is a positive charge: <em>statement D.</em>

Since the size of the arrows decreases as you move away  from Q the stregth of the field is not uniform: <em>statement A.</em>

Since the charge Q is positive, a negative charge would be attracted toward it: <em>statement E.</em>

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) R `= 3.5 ohms

b) energy decipated =   560J

Explanation:

V = I . R

R = V / I

R `= 70 / 20

R `= 3.5 ohms

2)energy decipated = 1/2ij²

energy decipated = 1/2 x 2.8 x (20)²

energy decipated =   560J

If 500 thousand btus of energy are available to raise the temperature of a water boiler from 20°f to 100°f, how many gallons o
sashaice [31]
In this question, you are given the energy( 500,000btus) and the temperature difference( 100F-20F= 80F). You are asked to find the volume of water.
1 BTU mean 1 degree of F increased for 1 pound mass. First, we can calculate the mass of the water in lb unit. The calculation would be:

mass= energy/temperature increase = 500,000/80= 6250lb.

Then we need to convert the weight into gallons. The calculation would be:
6250lb x kg/2.204lb x 1kg/m3 x 264.172 gallons/m3= 3638969.3 gallons
