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.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

$3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

$1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

So, $3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr$ is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

If the intensity of a loud car horn is 0.005 W/m^2 when you are 2 meters away from the source. Calculate the sound intensity lev

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have given the intensity of the loud car horn $I=0.005w/m^2$

We know that $I_O=10^{-12}w/m^2$

Now the sound intensity level is given by $\beta =10log\frac{I}{I_0}=10log\frac{0.005}{10^{-12}}=96.98dB$ , which is nearly equal to 97

So the sound intensity level will be 97 dB

So option (c) will be the correct option

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.550 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?

Alexxx [7]

Since my givens are x = .550m [Vsub0] = unknown
[Asubx] = =9.80

[Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]

[Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0])

Vsubx is the final velocity, which at the max height is 0, and Xsub0 is just 0 as that's where it starts so I just plug the rest in

0^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[-9.80]*(.550)

0 = [Vsub0x]^2 -10.78

10.78 = [Vsub0x]^2

Sqrt(10.78) = 3.28 m/s

Amy has a mass of 30 kg, and she is riding a skateboard traveling 5 m/s. What is her momentum?

Flauer [41]

Hey there!

So we know that m*v=P.
And in this question m=30
v=5 m/s
P = 30*5 Kgm/s
P = 150 Kgm/s

So, your final answer is 150 Kg.m/s

Hope this helps! :)
