Have you ever chewed on a wintergreen mint in front of a mirror in the dark? if you have, you may have noticed some sparks of light coming out of your mouth as you chewed on the candy; and, without knowing it, you have experienced a physical phenomenon called triboluminescence. in this problem you will analyze some of the key elements of triboluminescence in wintergreen candies. when you break a sugar crystal with your teeth, energetic electrons, released by the broken chemical bonds, collide with nitrogen molecules in the air. as a result of these collisions, the electrons in the nitrogen molecules jump to a state of higher energy; when they decay to their ground state, radiation is emitted. part a imagine that an electron in an excited state in a nitrogen molecule decays to its ground state, emitting a photon with a frequency of 8.88×1014 hz . what is the change in energy, δe, that the electron undergoes to decay to its ground state?

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. you've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. you've been walking at a steady 1.5m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 32 ∘ angle. you estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 65 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 80 n .
