If the atomic number of an atom is 4 and the mass number is 9, then how many electrons does it have

The atomic number of an atom says how many protons it has. This number cant change, since the atomic number is what gives elements their identities (in the periodic table, at least).
The mass number, on the other hand, says how many protons AND neutrons the atom has (so, the sum of P+ and N0). So, electrons have nothing to do with this number.
Atoms are neutrally charged, which means there has to be an equal number of positive and negative particles. The negative particles of an atom are its electrons, and since our atom has 4 protons, it must also have 4 electrons.

Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

P=\rho.g.h

\rho=density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

  • And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.

Why do cells have receptors? Receptors make mRNA. Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell. Recepto
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: Cells have receptors because Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell.

Explanation:

Cell receptors also called transmembrane receptors are proteins located on the surface of a cell (extracellularly) or inside the cell which receive signals that alters the functions of the cell. The functions of the cells which can be altered includes the alteration in gene transcription and the cell morphology.

Cell receptors are generally categorizes into the following groups:

--> Internal receptors

--> cell surface receptors

--> ion channel receptors

--> G protein coupled receptors

--> enzyme linked receptors

Interaction of cell membrane receptors with specific ligands that bonds to the receptors causes conformational changes in the receptor protein. This in turn, enzymatically activates the intracellular part of the protein or induces interactions between the receptor and the proteins in the cytoplasm that act as second messengers, thereby relaying the signal from the extracellular part of the receptor to the interior of the cell. This enables the cell to know when to let things in or out of it through the information conveyed.

A coil of area 0.320 m2 is rotating at 100 rev/s with the axis of rotation perpendicular to a 0.430 T magnetic field. If the coi
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The maximum  emf generated in the coil is 60527.49 V

Explanation:

Given;

area of coil, A = 0.320 m²

angular frequency, f = 100 rev/s

magnetic field, B = 0.43 T

number of turns, N = 700 turns

The maximum emf generated in the coil is calculated as,

E = NBAω

where;

ω is the angular speed = 2πf

E = NBA(2πf)

Substitute in the given values and solve for E

E = 700 x 0.43 x 0.32 x 2π x 100

E = 60527.49 V

Therefore, the maximum  emf generated in the coil is 60527.49 V
