If we give an hydrogen-like atom some energy in the form of photon like less than or more than the energy difference between the two energy states of H-atom .then would it increase the kinetic energy of electron

If we have two objects forming an isolated system and their centre of mass is ##X_{com}##, we know by work energy theorem that work done on centre of mass will be ##\int F_{ext}.X_{com}= 0## as no external force is acting on the system. However, if there is internal forces between the objects...

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution What do I do next to work out kinetic energy?

Does electron really vibrate to produce heat energy or is it atom in whole to produce heat?

If rotational kinetic energy of a closed system decreases, another form of energy must increase for the conservation of energy of a closed system. We assume this system (a person in rotation) has these forms of energy: ΔE=ΔK (only rotational around an axis) + ΔUi (internal) + ΔEt (thermal) with...

Hello! If energy bends spacetime, then an object moving at high velocity will bend spacetime a lot around it due to its really big kinetic energy. It follows, that an object can become a black hole at extremely high enough velocities. But, since velocity is relative, we can find an observer for...

And if I can extend this further, for liquids?

<Moderator's note: Moved from a technical forum and thus no template.> A horizontal force of 80 N acts on a mass of 6 kg resting on a horizontal surface. The mass is initially at rest and covers a distance of 5 m in 0.92 s under the action of the force. Assuming there are no energy losses due...

I am going back over the topic of electricity and energy. I am just wondering within a kinetic energy generator what is the relationship between the speed of the rotating shaft and the overall electrical output of the generator. Thanks

Homework Statement I'm trying to digest the concept of change in potential energy being set equal to a change in kinetic energy. Does this relationship always hold? Please see below for more details. Homework Equations PE = mgh KE = .5mv^2 W = ΔKE = -ΔPE W = f*d The Attempt at a Solution...

Hi everyone, I remember years ago at school memorising the derivation of the formula for pressure in the kinetic theory of gases, as explained in this Youtube video: Thinking a little more deeply about this derivation there are two things I don't get: 1) At 0:53, the video says the molecule...

In definition and proof of kinetic energy, it uses the second law of Newton. The length of the box is L and it uses this length to define the time of applying the force on the wall. Actually this time should be only time that molecule reaches to the wall and changes its velocity. My question...

I am proposing a piece of equipment a bit similar to Crooke's radiometer with the aim of using kinetic motion of air particles to rotate the mill, without need for an external source of EM radiation. Instead of flat vanes as in Crooke's radiometer, I propose 3-dimensional vanes in the shape of...

If I place an insulated container of gas on the edge of a turntable and then rotate the container as a constant angular velocity, what happens to the gas? Does the temperature of the gas increase? If so, how was work done on the gas?

The more I think about it the less clear the respective natures of kinetic energy and potential energy (and of their sum, the so-called total energy) become. The thing is I have the impression that once you try to go a bit further than the usual description of "scalar values assigned to systems...

Hi All, Perhaps I am missing something. Schrodinger equation is HPsi=EPsi, where H is hamiltonian = sum of kinetic energy operator and potential energy operator. Kinetic energy operator does not commute with potential energy operator, then how come they share the same wave function Psi? The...

K= ∫mvdv = ∫m dx/dt dv = ∫m dx/dv dv/dt dv = ∫m dv/dt dx = ∫Fdx = U => K=U, why isn't this true? If it is, wouldn't that mean that Kinetic Energy is always equal to Potential Energy?

Why so? Quoted from Quantum Physics 3rd ed. by Stephen Gasiorowicz, p. 26. It was explaining why we ignore the terms with exp[iwt] when adding plane waves to form a wave packet:

Why are kinetic moments not included in the regular summation of the moments? In other words why is the equation ∑M = ∑Mk and not ∑M + ∑Mk = 0 ? I guess it would help if someone could explain exactly what a kinetic moment is, and why it is equal to the summation of the moments due to external...

If you have a U-shaped pipe like the attached image, with more fluid in the left column than the right, then the fluid will level out basically because of Pascal's Law. Force on the fluid is exerted on every part of it in equal direction etc.. So when the fluid levels itself it flows across to...
