A=atomic mass 
Z=atomic number  (nº of protons).
N=neutons.

A=Z+N

Data:
A=39
Z=19

A=Z+N
39=19+N
N=39-19=20.

It therefore has 20 neutrons in its nucleus.

A 12-kg dog jumps up in the air to catch a ball. The dog's center of mass is normally 0.20 m above the ground, and he is 0.50 m
ad-work [718]

Explanation:

Given Data:

mass of dog = 12 Kg

dog's center of mass = 0.20m

length of dog = 0.50m

height of dog's jump = ?

Solution:

Work done of gravitational force = Gain in Potential energy

2.1 × mgΔh = mg (h - 0.1)

2.1 × (0.3 - 0.1) = (h - 0.1)

h = 0.52 m

A5.0 kg TNT explosive, initially at rest, explodes into two pieces. One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to
nordsb [41]

Answer:

v = 24 m/s, rightwards

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of TBT explosive = 5 kg

It explodes into two pieces.

One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to  the left at 36 m/s. Let left be negative and right be positive.

The law of conservation of momentum holds here. Let v be the final speed of the remaining piece. So,

5\times 0=2\times (-36)+3\times v\\\\-72=-3v\\\\v=24\ m/s

So, the final speed of the remaining piece is 24 m/s and it is in the right direction.
