The atomic number for an element whose mass number is 115, which contains 66 neutrons per atom is: 49

The formula and procedure we will use to solve this problem is:

number of protons = mass number - number of neutrons
atomic number = number of protons

Information about the problem:

mass number = 115
number of neutrons = 66
atomic number =?

Applying the number of protons formula we get:

number of protons = mass number - number of neutrons

number of protons = 115 - 66

number of protons = 49

Applying the atomic number formula we get:

atomic number =number of protons

atomic number = 49

The atom is the smallest part of the composition of matter, it is indivisible and is composed of a nucleus that has protons and neutrons, and around the nucleus there are the electrons.

How does the amount of precipitation affect the amount of weathering ?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures = more rainfall increasing the rate of chemical weathering. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to a lot of rainfall and hot temperatures weather faster than similar rocks in cold, dry climates.

A student drops a ball off the top of building and records that the ball takes 3.32s to reach the ground (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What i

slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's what we know because it was given to us:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

time = 3.32 seconds

Here's what we know because we rock physics:

v₀ = 0 (because the object was held still before it was dropped).

Here's the equation that ties all that info together in a single one-dimensional equation:

v = v₀ + at

Filling in and solving for v:

v = 0 + (-9.8)(3.32) and

v = -33m/s

The velocity is negative because the object is moving downwards and up is positive (but you knew that already too!)

Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency

Harman [31]

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.
