What is the role of neutrons in an atom?

Physics

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

How does a change in thermal energy cause matter to change from one state to another?
Mnenie [13.5K]
Thermal energy gives the particles of the substance kinetic energy because temperature is an average measure of kinetic enegy of the particle. If we give them thermal energy the particle will move faster, gaining enough energy to escape and become free. For example, from solid to liquid, the particles would espace their fixed position and be free to move as a liquid.

Why are household wall sockets alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC)? Select all that apply.
Bond [772]

Answer:

It is easier to scale the voltage of AC from high to low and low to high than with DC

Explanation:

typically power is used far away from the place where it's generated so to ensure that transmission losses( copper losses) are minimized voltage has to be stepped up during transmission..but due to the fact that most house hold equipment requires low voltage levels it has to be stepped down once it reaches a household/ domestic load...it's easier to do this for Ac than for DC.

Un atleta de 70 kg de masa que ha efectuado un salto de altura cae una vez que ha
Allushta [10]

Answer:

a) the elastic force of the pole directed upwards and the force of gravity with dissects downwards

Explanation:

The forces on the athlete are

a) at this moment the athlete presses the garrolla against the floor, therefore it acquires a lot of elastic energy, which is absorbed by the athlete to rise and gain potential energy,

therefore the forces are the elastic force of the pole directed upwards and the force of gravity with dissects downwards

b) when it falls, in this case the only force to act is batrachium by the planet, this is a projectile movement for very high angles

c) When it reaches the floor, it receives an impulse that opposes the movement created by the mat. The attractive force is the attraction of gravity.
