← In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron goes round the nucleus a certain number of times each second. The ratio of this number in the ground state (n = 1) to that in the first excited state (n = 2) is ____.
A ball is thrown from level ground at some angle above the horizontal. It passes a point at a certain height 1 s after it is thrown, and comes back down to the same height 3 s after it is thrown. Taking g = 10 m/s² and ignoring air resistance, that height and the greatest height the ball reaches are →
