FULL ANSWER

Neutrons and protons make up a nucleus and they are in the middle of an atom. Electrons surround the nucleus. Opposite charges attract each other. Because of this, protons do not attract other protons and electrons do not attract other electrons. Instead, protons attract electrons and electrons attract protons. When someone looks at the elements on the periodic table, they can see how many protons are present by looking at the atomic number. Since atoms have to have an equal amount of each, if an element contains 36 protons, it also has 36 electrons.

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.

yKpoI14uk [10]

<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately. Which means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:

A car is traveling at 100 km/h when the driver sees an accident 80 m ahead and slams on the brakes. what minimum constant decele

Effectus [21]

Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
$2aS = v_f^2 - v_i^2$ (1)
where
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
$v_f$ is the velocity at time t
$v_i=100 km/h = 27.8 m/s$ is the initial speed of the car

The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and $v_f=0$ (the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve the equation (1) to find a:
$a=- \frac{v_i^2}{2 S}= -\frac{(27.8 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 80 m} =-4.83 m/s^2$
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

Find the wavelength of radio waves of frequency 200kHz

Gala2k [10]

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$
λ - wavelength, c - the speed of light, f - frequency

$f=200 \ kHz= 200 000 \ Hz \\ \\
\lambda=\frac{300 000 \ [\frac{km}{s}]}{200 000 \ [Hz]}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5 \ [km]$

The wavelength of these waves is 1.5 km.
