Answer:

Dryer sheets stop static cling by absorbing static electricity formed by different fabrics during your dryer cycle. The fabric softeners that coat dryer sheets are positively charged ions to balance the electrons and ions that cause static cling, leaving you with soft clothes without the static.

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?

lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.

Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.

Hope this helps! :)

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t

Marysya12 [62]

From the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2
110*8+ 110*-10= 110*-10 + 110* v2
v2= 8 m/sec

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r

Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

$F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$
