Panel A shows a ball shortly after being thrown upward. Panel B shows the same ball in an instant on its way down. Suppose air resistance can be ignored. Which statement is true? a) Both potential and kinetic energy are higher in Panel A than in Panel B. b) Both the potential and kinetic energy are higher in Panel B than in Panel A. c) The potential energy is higher in Panel A, but the kinetic energy is higher in Panel B. d) The potential energy is higher in Panel B, but the kinetic energy is higher in Panel A.

If you were to drop a rock from a tall building, assuming that it had not yet hit the ground, and neglecting air resistance. what is its vertical displacement (in m) after 6 s?

What is the acceleration of a spaceship that is initially at rest and then speeds up to 220 m/s in 20 seconds

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.
