Physics

A hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of energy 12.09 eV from the ground state. To which energy level does it jump? (Use \( E_n = -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \, \text{eV} \))

\( E_1 = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \).

\( E_n = -13.6 + 12.09 = -1.51 \, \text{eV} \).

\( -1.51 = -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \Rightarrow n^2 = 9 \Rightarrow n = 3 \).

A lift ascends with an acceleration of \( 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) for \( 3 \, \text{s} \), then moves at constant speed for \( 4 \, \text{s} \). If a ball is dropped from the lift \( 5 \, \text{s} \) after starting, how far does it fall in \( 1 \, \text{s} \) relative to the ground? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Lift after 3 s: \( v = 2 \cdot 3 = 6 \, \text{m/s} \), \( y = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot (3)^2 = 9 \, \text{m} \).

At 5 s: Constant speed for 2 s, \( y_{\text{total}} = 9 + 6 \cdot 2 = 21 \, \text{m} \), \( v_{\text{lift}} = 6 \, \text{m/s} \).

Ball dropped: Initial velocity = \( 6 \, \text{m/s} \) upward, \( y = 6 \cdot 1 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot (1)^2 = 6 - 5 = 1 \, \text{m} \) above drop point.

Lift moves \( 6 \, \text{m} \) up, so distance fallen relative to ground = \( 21 + 6 - (21 + 1) = 5 \, \text{m} \).

Resolve along incline: \( T \cos 53^\circ - mg \sin 37^\circ - f_s = 0 \), \( f_s = \mu_s N \).

Normal: \( N = mg \cos 37^\circ + T \sin 53^\circ \).

\( mg \sin 37^\circ = 4 \times 10 \times 0.6 = 24 \, \text{N} \), \( mg \cos 37^\circ = 4 \times 10 \times 0.8 = 32 \, \text{N} \).

\( N = 32 + T \times 0.8 \), \( f_s = 0.5 (32 + 0.8T) \).
