The correct answer is It has equal numbers of neutrons and protons.

A characteristic that can be physically determined, the atomic mass of an atom is equal to the total mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up the atom. The number of protons in the atom's nucleus is indicated by the atomic number. It is equal to the atomic number in value. Moving over the periodic table causes the nuclear charge to grow. The charge is filled when the electrons approach the protons.

The protons and neutrons of an atom are added to determine the mass number. Therefore, the mass number for each atom will be twice the atomic number (number of protons) if the number of protons (atomic number) and neutrons are identical.

What is denser medium?​
abruzzese [7]

Answer: A medium in which speed of light is more is known as optically rarer medium and a medium in which speed of light is less is said to be optically denser medium. For example in air and water, air is raer and water is a denser medium.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "42.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(a) 42 N

(b)36.7 N

Explanation:

Nomenclature

F= force test line (N)

W : fish weight  (N)

Problem development

(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed

We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:

∑Fy =0

F-W= 0

42N -W =0  

W = 42N

(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²

We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:

 m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

∑Fy =m*a

m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a

42-W=  ( W/9.8 )*1.41

42= W+0.1439W

42=1.1439W

W= 42/1.1439

W= 36.7  N

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a
Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
