The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.
17 - 6 = 11
There are 11 protons in this unknown element.
Extra:
The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Net Force
</u>
The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.
The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.
The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.
Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.
The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.
The one tossed upward on the Moon will rise to a greater maximum height before starting to fall.
It'll also spend more total time in flight before returning to the hand that tossed it. (I almost said that it'll spend "more time in the air". That would be silly on the Moon.)
Explanation:
Mitochondria is called the 'power house' because It is the site for respiration. It is also responsible for conversation of food to usable energy.
A = 1*100 = 100 Ns
b = 10 * 12 = 120 Ns
c = 0.5*1000 = 500 Ns
d = 100 * 2 = 200 Ns
a has least momentum
