The atomic number tells you the number of protons in an atom. This value never changes because the number of protons in the nucleus always remains constant. The mass number tells you the number of protons and neutrons (or nucleons) together: protons + neutrons = mass number. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus varies, you can have different amounts of neutrons in the same type of atom. These varied types are called isotopes.

Hope this helps.

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)
poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

Vadim26 [7]
If a bus travels 30 km in 1/2 hr, then in one hr, he can travel twice the distance.
30*2=60 km

Final answer: 60 km per hr

A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 13.0 cm , giving it a ch
Leokris [45]

a) Electric field inside the paint layer: zero

b) Electric field just outside the paint layer: -3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

c) Electric field 8.00 cm outside the paint layer: -7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C

Explanation:

a)

We can find the electric field inside the paint layer by applying Gauss Law: the total flux of the electric field through a gaussian surface is equal to the charge contained within the surface divided by the vacuum permittivity, mathematically:

\int EdS = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

where

E is the electric field

dS is the element of surface

q is the charge within the gaussian surface

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field just inside the paint layer, so we take a sphere of radius r as Gaussian surface, where

R = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m is the radius of the plastic sphere (half the diameter)

By taking the sphere of radius r, we note that the net charge inside this sphere is zero, therefore

q=0

So we have

\int E dS=0

which means that the electric field inside the paint layer is zero.

b)

Now we want to find the electric field just outside the paint layer: therefore, we take a Gaussian sphere of radius

r=R=0.065 m

The area of the surface is

A=4\pi R^2

And since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface at any point, Gauss Law becomes

E\cdot 4\pi R^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

The charge included within the sphere in this case is the charge on the paint layer, therefore

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

So, the electric field is:

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.065)^2}=-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

where the negative sign means the direction of the field is inward, since the charge is negative.

c)

Here we want to calculate the electric field 8.00 cm outside the surface of the paint layer.

Therefore, we have to take a Gaussian sphere of radius:

r=8.00 cm + R = 8.00 + 6.50 = 14.5 cm = 0.145 m

Gauss theorem this time becomes

E\cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

And the charge included within the sphere is again the charge on the paint layer,

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

Therefore, the electric field is

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.145)^2}=-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C

We can block light by placing obstacles in its path, but it’s much more difficult to block sound. Why?
Olin [163]
Sound spreads through some kind of medium. Most of the time the medium is usually air. Sound can go through walls, like when you are playing really loud music and the neighbors tell you its to loud, you can't block it because it can travel through objects. Light does not need a medium to travel with. if you put a light in a room with no windows and no cracks, and you seal off the door the light can't escape that room, but if you did the same thing with sound it would travel trough the walls.
