    Time taken for earth to orbit the sun?

    but it is close enough for us to be able to have leap year every 4 years for a long time

    Time taken for earth to orbit the sun?

    Are we just really lucky that the time it takes for Earth to orbit the sun is 365.25 days? I mean if it was something like 365.71 days, then we couldn't have our simple leap year every four years. We would have to have a 71 leap years every century, or even if we were to simplify it a bit, 7...

    What exactly happens when an electron gains energy?

    Yeah I meant 2s and 2p lol ^^' I just want to know what difference there is between an electron with low energy and high energy. It's not like it's moving faster..

    What exactly happens when an electron gains energy?

    Ok, so I know that the 1p orbital is at a slightly higher energy state than the 1s orbital. And if an electron gets excited it can be promoted from the 1s to the 1p orbital. But what exactly is happening to the electron? How does it "store" the energy? Since the s and p electrons overlap at...

    Help on force, work, velocity and friction?

    Oh ok :) well they were asking for the work done...oh and correction. The answer sheet says 900J. But it's still different than my result (900kJ). And I'm still stuck with no clue. :( And I don't think power is involved, because we haven't covered the topic yet.

    Help on force, work, velocity and friction?

    Ok I get that. But if the unit of frictional force is N/m, then it's not a force anymore, is it? Because unit for force is N and not N/m. Anyways: force would be: 150N/m * 6000m = 900000N. v = 5m/s N = 900000N Then? Which formula should I use?

    Help on force, work, velocity and friction?

    Homework Statement It says: A car moves at a constant speed of 5.0ms-1 along a 6.0km road against frictional force of 150N per meter. How much work has to be done by the car to maintain its constant speed? Homework Equations W = F*d The Attempt at a Solution So I just did 150N *...
