Answer: The  atomic number of the atom is the number of electrons in the atom only when the atom is neutral.

Explanation: For a neutral atom, the number of positive charges is equal to the number of negative charges and thus the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons or the number of protons.

But for a positive and a negative ion, the electrons are lost and gained respectively by that element and thus the number of electrons are not equal to the number of protons. Now atomic number is equal to the number of protons only. The number of electrons = number of protons - charge.

Example: For sodium Na , the atomic number is 11 and it has 11 electrons.

For sodium ion Na^+ , the atomic number is 11 but the number of electrons = (11-1) = 10.

What must be true about two objects if heat is flowing between them?
netineya [11]

Answer:

The objects must be different temperatures.

Explanation:

For heat to flow between two objects, heat must be flowing between them. The thermal gradient allows for the flow of heat. Heat is a form of energy that is dissipated from one place to another based on temperature difference.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of body. It is power by heat energy between two bodies.

Heat generally flows from a body at high temperature to one at low temperature. When thermal equilibrium is established and both bodies have the same temperature, heat will stop to flow.

List at least three pieces of evidence to support the idea that sound is a wave.
Schach [20]

Answer:

1. It undergoes reflection. 2. It undergoes refraction. 3. It undergoes diffraction.

Explanation:

1. It undergoes reflection. This is because it bounces off surfaces when incident on them.

2. It undergoes refraction. This is because it changes direction when it passes from one medium to another

3. It undergoes diffraction. This is because it spreads out when it passes through doors and windows similar in dimension to the dimensions of its wavelength

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Explanation:

still water speed is 50 m / 25.0 s = 2.00 m/s or 200 cm/s

In lane 1 the effective speed would be 201.2 cm/s

5000 cm / 201.2 cm/s = 24.85 s

The change is 25.00 - 24.85 = 0.15 s decrease in time

In lane 8, the effective speed would be 198.8 cm/s

5000 cm / 198.8 cm/s = 25.15 s

The change is 25.00 - 25.15 = 0.15 s increase in time

An elevator weighing 2,200 lbs is raised one story in 20 seconds. If the distance between stories is 10 feet, the power is devel
kaheart [24]

Answer: 1100 ft lb/s and 2 H.P

Explanation:

To calculate for the power developed in the elevator motor in ft.lb/s, we multiply the distance and the weight of the elevator and divide the product by the time.

                      Power = (10 ft)(2200 lb) / 20 s = 1100 ft.lb/s

Next, convert the calculated value to HP. 

                             1100 ft.lb/s x (1 HP/ 550 ft.lb/s) = 2 HP

hope this helps please give brainliest!
