What is the role of neutrons in an atom?

Physics
2 answers:

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

I kinda don’t know how to solve this I need help.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

the answer is 11 N left

Explanation:

there is more force being applied in the direction left, so the ball will move left. to find the net force that the ball will move in that direction subtract the force being applied in the opposite direction. so, 16N-5N=11N. your answer in 11 N left.

Does a photon emitted by a higher-wattage red light bulb have more energy than a photon emitted by a lower-wattage red bulb
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The energy of these two photons would be the same as long as their frequencies are the same (same color, assuming that the two bulbs emit at only one wavelength.)

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is proportional to its frequency f. The constant of proportionality is Planck's Constant, h. This proportionality is known as the Planck-Einstein Relation.

E = h\, f.

The color of a beam of visible light depends on the frequency of the light. Assume that the two bulbs in this question each emits light of only one frequency (rather than a mix of light of different frequencies and colors.) Let f_{1} and f_{2} denote the frequency of the light from each bulb.

If the color of the red light from the two bulbs is the same, those two bulbs must emit light at the same frequency: f_{1} = f_{2}.

Thus, by the Planck-Einstein Relation, the energy of a photon from each bulb would also be the same:

h\, f_{1} = h\, f_{2}.

Note that among these two bulbs, the brighter one appears brighter soley because it emits more photons per unit area in unit time. While the energy of each photon stays the same, the bulb releases more energy by emitting more of these photons.

What physical property makes the red light different from blue light, or radio waves different from microwaves?​
inna [77]

Only their wavelength does.

Blue light waves have only roughly half the wavelength of red light waves, and the so-called "microwaves" are the radio waves with the shortest wavelengths.

Blocks A and B of unknown masses m1 and m2, respectively, are set up on an inclined plane as shown. Block A is attached to block
Korvikt [17]

Newton's second law we can find that the correct answer is:  

 E)  It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

Newton's second law establishes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration of a body. Since force and acceleration are vector quantities, their components must be added on each axis

For this problem we have two bodies, let's write Newton's second law for the body B, we assume that the body B descends

            W_b - T = m_b a

            W_b  = m_b g

            m_b - T = m_b a

Where W_b is the weight of block B, T the tension of the string, mb the mass of block b and the acceleration

Now let's find the relation for block A

let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the ramp

           T - Wₓ = mₐ a

           sin θ = Wₓ / W

            Wₓ = Wₐ sin θ

             Wₐ = mₐ g

Where Wₓ is the component of the weight, Wₐ the weight of the body A and θ the angle of the plane

Let's write our system of equations

           m_b g - T = m_b a

           T - mₐ g sin θ = mₐ a

let's add the equations

            g (m_b - mₐ sin θ) = (m_b + mₐ) a

            a =   \frac{m_b - m_a \ sin  \ \theta}{m_b+m_a} \ g

Let's analyze this expression

  • The numerator is positive the body B descends, this occurs when

          m_b - mₐ sin θ > 0

           

  • The numerator is negative, body B rises

           m_b - mₐ  sin θ <0

We can observe that the acceleration is positive or negative depending on the relation of the masses and the angle of the plane.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we find that the correct answer is  

 E )   It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided
