Answer:

If you change the number of neutrons in an atom, you get an isotope of the same element. The addition of a neutron can make an atom radioactive. When you change the number of protons in an atom, you will change the atom from one element to a different element.

A block of ice with mass 2.00 kg slides 0.750 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 36.9 degrees below th

Answer: $V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight $w$ of the block has an x-component and y-component:

$w_{x}=wsin(\theta)$ (1)

$w_{y}=wcos(\theta)$ (2)

As well as the Normal Force $N$ :

$N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)$ (3)

$N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)$ (4)

In addition, we know $N=w$ , then $\sum F_{y}=0$

In the X-component:

$\sum F_{x}=m.a$

$m.a=w_{x}$ (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

$wsin(\theta)=m.a$ (6)

In addition, we know $w=m.g$ , where $m$ is the mass of the block and $g$ the gravity acceleration, which is equal to $9.8m/{s}^{2}$

So:

$m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a$ (7)

$a=g.sin(\theta)$ (8)

$a=5.88m/{s}^{2}$ (9) >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a <u>relation between</u> the distance $d$ with the acceleration $a$ and time $t$ :

$d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}$ (10)

We already know the value of $d$ and calculated $a$ , we have to find $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (11)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}$ (12)

$t=0.50s$ (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity $V_{o}$ to its final velocity $V_{f}$

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t$ (13)

If $V_{o}=0$

$V_{f}=a.t$ (14)

$V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)$ (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

$V_{f}=2.96m/s$

What is electrons ? explain it function<br>

Neko [114]

Answer:

The electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e⁻ or β⁻ , whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure

Explanation:

functions of electrons

and electrons being the negatively charged particles of atom. Together, all of the electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances the positive charge of the protons in the atomic nucleus

Sound waves cannot travel in

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The answer is D. A Vacumn

Explanation:

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum. A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.
