What is the role of neutrons in an atom?

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

A car is moving at 14 m/s. After 30 s, its speed inncreased to 20 m/s. What is the acceleration over time

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.2 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial speed 14m/s

final speed 20m/s

acceleration:

(20m/s - 14m /s) /30s = (6m/s)/30s = 0.2 m/s^2

What electrical force dies a Uranium nucleus exert on one of its inner electrons, located at a distance of 175 picometers (= 1.7

AlekseyPX

Answer:

correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N

Explanation:

given data

distance = 175 picometers = 1.75 × $10^{-10}$ m

to find out

electrical force

solution

we know atomic no of uranium is 92

and charge on electron is = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C

and electrical force is express as

electrical force = $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _o} \frac{q1q2}{r^2}$ .............1

put here value we get

electrical force = $9*10^9 \frac{92*(1.6*10^{-19})^2}{(1.75*10^{-10})^2}$

electrical force = 6.921 × $10^{-7}$ N

so correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s

blondinia [14]

Answer:

1.2 m/s

0.31 m

0.15 m

Explanation:

Time period is

$T=2.5\times 2\\\Rightarrow T=5\ s$

Frequency is

$f=\dfrac{1}{T}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=0.2\ Hz$

Velocity is given by

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=0.2\times 6\\\Rightarrow v=1.2\ m/s$

The waves are traveling at 1.2 m/s

Amplitude is given by

$A=\dfrac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=0.31\ m$

Amplitude is 0.31 m

If d = 0.3 m

$A=\dfrac{0.3}{2}=0.15\ m$

The amplitude would be 0.15 m. The speed would remain the same.
