The unknown metal with a mass of 39.27 g is potassium with the symbol K.

The mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in it.

The protons and neutrons are together present in the nucleus of an atom.

The mass of any element is given by its mass number whose formula is

Mass Number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In the given case 39 = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

The only element of the periodic table which satisfies the above equation is potassium because it has 19 protons and 20 neutrons.

Thus, the unknown metal with a mass of 39.27 g is potassium with the symbol K.

Yes for an object moving on a horizontal plane, R = mg (where mg = weight). therefore, for an object moving on a horizontal plane: F = μmg

Which forces are shown on a free body diagram?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

What is a Free Body Diagram?

The free body diagram helps you understand and solve static and dynamic problem involving forces. It is a diagram including all forces acting on a given object without the other object in the system. You need to first understand all the forces acting on the object and then represent these force by arrows in the direction of the force to be drawn.

The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$e=3367.2J$

% $e=1.43$ %

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

$v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s$

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

$v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s$

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

$E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J$

$E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J$

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

$e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J$

% $e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43$ %

Is this a testable question?

faltersainse [42]

This is a non testable question because it cannot be answered by doing an experiment. But it could be modified for example Dogs are more obedient then cats.
