Answer:

B) neutron keep protons apart so they don’t repel each other

Explanation:

Neutrons are of almost same mass as that of protons mass or we can say it is slightly greater than the mass of proton

There is no charge on the neutrons as they are neutral and they resides inside the nucleus.

since nucleus is a small region where large number of protons and neutrons exists so in this small region protons must have large repulsion force between them but since this repulsion force is counterbalanced by the strong nuclear force between the neutrons and protons so here role of neutrons is to provide sufficient strong force to bound the nucleons together

so here correct answer will be

B) neutron keep protons apart so they don’t repel each other

Hihi!

The correct answer is B) neutron keep protons apart so they don’t repel
each other! The neutron also adds mass to the atom!

I hope I helped!

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through polystyrene. The waveleng

klemol [59]

Answer:

Speed:

$2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Wavelength:

$4.24x10^{-7}m$

Frequency:

$4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:

The speed of the laser as it travels through polystyrene can be determine by means of the equation of the refraction index:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of the laser in the medium.

Therefore, v will be isolated from equation 1

$v = \frac{c}{n}$

$v = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1.490}$

$v = 2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Hence, the speed of the laser has a value of $2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Frenquency:

Since, wavelength is the only one who depends on the media. Therefore the frequency in both medium will be the same.

To determine the frequency it can be used the following equation

$c = \nu \cdot \lambda$ (2)

Where c is the speed of light, $\nu$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ is the wavelength

Then, $\nu$ wil be isolated from equation 2.

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}$ (3)

Before using equation 3 it is necessary to express $\lamba$ in units of meters.

$\lambda = 632.8nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm}$ ⇒ $6.328x10^{-7}m$

$\nu = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{6.328x10^{-7}m}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Hence, the frequency of the laser has a value of $4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Wavelength:

To determine the wavelength it can be used:

$v = \nu \cdot \lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}$

Where v is the speed of the laser through the polystyrene.

$\lambda = \frac{2.01x10^{8}m/s}{4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 4.24x10^{-7}m$

Hence, the wavelength of the laser has a value of $4.24x10^{-7}m$

According to Hooke's law

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

According to Hook's law, we know,

strain/stress =Constant

Explanation: So, the ratio between stress and strain is always constant.

So, if stress is increased, then strain changes in that way so that this ratio always remains constant.

A car has a mass of 1300 kg and a velocity of 15 m/s. The car crashes into a wall and stops in two seconds. What is the stopping

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

F = ma

The acceleration is Δv/Δt, so:

F = m Δv/Δt

Given m = 1300 kg, Δv = 15 m/s, and Δt = 2 s:

F = (1300 kg) (15 m/s) / (2 s)

F = 9750 N

Answer B.
