Answer:

A. Velocity

Explanation:

Velocity is vector quantity thus has both magnitude and direction. It describes not only the speed but also the direction. Speed is scalar quantity so describes only speed but not direction. Energy has nothing to do with speed, acceleration describes change in velocity in a direction over time

Velocity

It can also be defined as the rate of change in object position concerning a frame of reference and time.

A small sphere attached to a light rigid rod rotates about an axis perpendicular to and fixed to the other end of the rod. relat

Crank

<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>

A certain atom has atomic number Z = 25 and atomic mass number A = 52. a. What is the approximate radius of the nucleus of this

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

Explanation:

$r=r_o\times A^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r_o=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m$ = Constant for all nuclei

r = Radius of the nucleus

A = Number of nucleons

a) Given atomic number of an element = 25

Atomic mass or nucleon number = 52

$r=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m\times (52)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r=4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=4.6656 fm$

The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) $F=k\times \frac{q_1q_2}{a^2}$

k= $9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2$ = Coulombs constant

$q_1,q_2$ = charges kept at distance 'a' from each other

F = electrostatic force between charges

$q_1=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

$q_2=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

Force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter

$a=2\times r=2\times 4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=9.3312\times 10^{-15} m$

$F=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\times \frac{(+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)\times (+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)}{(9.3312\times 10^{-15} m)^2}$

$F=2.6527 N$

The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains 2 electrons?

Alex_Xolod [135]

If an atom gains electrons, it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
So the net charge on the copper atom which gained 2 electrons will be -2.

1. Calcular la masa de mercurio que pasó de 30 °C hasta 120 °C y absorbió 4400 cal. Calor específico del

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Masa, m = 0.088 kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Temperatura inicial = 30°C

Temperatura final = 120°C

Capacidad calorífica específica = 138J/kg.K

Calor absorbido, Q = 4400 cal.

Para encontrar la masa;

La capacidad calorífica viene dada por la fórmula;

$Q = mct$

Dónde;

Q representa la capacidad calorífica o la cantidad de calor.

m representa la masa de un objeto.

c representa la capacidad calorífica específica del agua.

dt representa el cambio de temperatura.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 120 - 30

dt = 90°C to kelvin = 273 + 90 = 363K

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

$4400 = m*138*363$

$4400 = 50094m$

$m = \frac {4400}{50094}$

Masa, m = 0.088 kg
