Following a series of experiments in which you are flung against walls to test the resiliency of the human body, you are ejected from the ship and find yourself in a maelstrom
Whipped by winds gusting at 10,000 km/hr, rising and falling in convective currents, you are not having a good time. On the rare occasions when you can assess your surroundings, you notice a horizon that seems to go on "forever" (or, at least, much farther than the horizon on Earth), and no solid surface anywhere. You get a glimpse of several large moons. The Sun races through your sky, requiring only about 5 hours to rise nearly due east, cross the meridian at an altitude of about 55° in the north, and then set due west.
Suppose you look at a spectrum of visible light by looking through a prism or diffraction grating. How can you decide whether it is an emission line spectrum or an absorption line spectrum?
A) The only way to decide is to make a graph of the intensity of the light at every wavelength, and then analyze the graph carefully. B) An emission line spectrum consists of a long bright line, while an absorption line spectrum consists of a long dark line. C) An emission line spectrum consists of bright lines on a dark background, while an absorption line spectrum consists of dark lines on a rainbow background. D) The emission line spectrum is produced by electrons jumping up in energy level, while the absorption line spectrum is produced by electrons jumping down in energy level.
A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.0 m above the ground and experiences no appreciable air resistance as it moves
(a) How far from where the child is standing does the ball hit the ground? (b) How long is the ball in flight before it hits the ground? (c) What is the magnitude of the ball's velocity just before it hits the ground?
