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.

A girl playing tug-of-war with her dog pulls the dog a distance of 8.0m by exerting a force at an angle of 18° with the horizont

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25 N

Explanation:

Work is a product of force and perpendicular distance moved.

W=Fd where F is force exerted and d is perpendicular distance.

However, for this case, the distance is inclined hence resolving it to perpendicular so that it be along x-axis we have distance as $dcos\theta$

Therefore, $W=Fdcos\theta$

Making F the subject of the formula then

$F=\frac {W}{dcos\theta}$ where $\theta$ is the angle of inclination. Substituting 190 J for W then 18 degrees for $\theta$ and 8 m for d then

$F=\frac {190}{8cos18^{\circ}}\approx 25N$

The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 23

Burka [1]

Answer:

a) $v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}$ , b) $v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) The equation for vertical velocity is obtained by deriving the function with respect to time:

$v(t) = 23.5 -9.8\cdot t$

The velocities at given instants are, respectivelly:

$v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}$

Calculate the force needed to bring a 1,019-kg car to rest from a speed of 29 m/s in a distance of 118 m

son4ous [18]

Acceleration = ▵v/▵t
Time = d/v
Fisrt calculate time : ( 118/29 ) = 4 seconds
Then calculate acceleration
A = 29/4 = 7.25 m/s²
Now the force.
Force = mass * acceleration.
F= 1,019 * 7.25
F= 7,387 N
