The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.

A student is swimming south applying a force of 256 N. The water exerts a westward force of 104 N. If the student has a mass of
grigory [225]

Answer:

a=2.9\ m/sec^2

Explanation:

<u>Net Forces and Acceleration</u>

The second Newton's Law relates the net force F_r acting on an object of mass m with the acceleration a it gets. Both the net force and the acceleration are vector and have the same direction because they are proportional to each other.

\vec F_r=m\vec a

According to the information given in the question, two forces are acting on the swimming student: One of 256 N pointing to the south and other to the west of 104 N. Since those forces are not aligned, we must add them like vectors as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of the resulting force F_r is computed as the hypotenuse of a right triangle

|F_r|=\sqrt{256^2+104^2}

|F_r|=276.32\ Nw

The acceleration can be obtained from the formula

F_r=ma

Note we are using only magnitudes here

\displaystyle a=\frac{F_r}{m}

\displaystyle a=\frac{276.32Nw}{95.3Kg}

\boxed{a=2.9\ m/sec^2}

One runner in a relay race has a 1.50 s lead and is running at a constant speed of 3.25 m/s. The runner has 30.0 m to run before
yarga [219]
The second runner must run 3.3m/s. If the leading runner is 1.5 seconds ahead and there are 30m left, the second runner would need to run slightly faster than the lead in order to finish at the same time. To calculate this I did 30/1.5 which gave me 0.05. I added this onto the speed of the lead runner to get 3.3m/s :)

Polonium, the Period 6 member of Group 6A(16), is a rare radioactive metal that is the only element with a crystal structure bas
Burka [1]

Answer:

Approximate atomic radius for polonium-209 is 167.5 pm .

Explanation:

Number of atom in simple cubic unit cell = Z = 1

Density of platinum = 9.232 g/cm^3

Edge length of cubic unit cell= a = ?

Atomic mass of Po (M) = 209 g/mol

Formula used :  

\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}

where,

ρ = density

Z = number of atom in unit cell

M = atomic mass

(N_{A}) = Avogadro's number  

a = edge length of unit cell

On substituting all the given values , we will get the value of 'a'.

9.232 g/cm3=\frac{1 \times 209 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times (a)^{3}}

a = 3.35\times 10^{-8} cm

Atomic radius of the polonium in unit cell = r

r = 0.5a

r=0.5\times 3.35\times 10^{-8} cm=1.675\times 10^{-8} cm

1 cm = 10^{10} pm

1.675\times 10^{-8} cm=1.675\times 10^{-8}\times 10^{10}=167.5 pm

Approximate atomic radius for polonium-209 is 167.5 pm.
