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 car accelerates uniformly from rest to 23 m/s over a distance of 30 meters. What is the acceleration of the car?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

a= 17.69 m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 23 m/s

u= 0m/s

v= 23m/s

distance= 30m

Step two:

We know that

acceleration= velocity/time

also,

velocity= distance/time

23= 30/t

t= 30/23

t= 1.30 seconds

hence

acceleration= 23/1.30

accelaration= 17.69 m/s^2

3. A rescue plane drops a package to a stranded party of explorers. The plane is traveling horizontally at a velocity of
Otrada [13]

Hi there!

For this part, we can disregard the horizontal velocity because horizontal and vertical motion are INDEPENDENT.

We can used the simplified equation to solve for time:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Where:

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity (assume g = 10 m/s²)

Plug in given values:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2(50)}{10}} = \sqrt{10}

t ≈3.162 sec

Choose all of the statements that are true about electromagnets: 1. Electromagnets are permanent and always have a magnetic fiel
Nitella [24]

Answer:

2. electromagnets can be made stronger by adding more coils to the solenoid.

3. electromagnets can be made stronger by increasing the strength of the electrical source.

Explanation:

Electromagnets are not permanent, they act as magnets when current runs through its coils. They can be stronger by increase the current that goes through the coil surrounding them,. This can be done two ways: 1) increasing the actual current intensity, or 2) increasing the number of coils that wrap around them.
