<span> 1.the atom has 7 neutrons and 8 protons....

because the positively charged particles are the protons ...and 8 is also the atomic number ...so number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting </span>atomic number from the mass number...which gives us the neutrons 7 ...

Hope it helps !!!

Answer:

1.the atom has 7 neutrons and 8 protons.

Explanation:

In any atom positively charged particles are protons while the total mass of the atom is due to protons and neutrons both

So here we can say that

Number of protons in this atom is 8

Total number of neutron + protons = total mass

N + Z = 15

so we have

N + 8 = 15

N = 7

so correct answer will be

1.the atom has 7 neutrons and 8 protons.

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallelplatecapacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the negat
Triss [41]

Answer:

2.1406 ×10^6 m/sec

Explanation:

we know that energy is always conserved

so from the law of energy conservation

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

here V is the potential difference  

we know that mass of proton = 1.67×10^{-27} kg

we have given speed =50000m/sec

so potential difference V=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}50000^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=13.045

now mass of electron =9.11×10^{-31}

so for electron

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 13.045=2.1406\times 10^6 m/sec

so the velocity of electron will be 2.1406×10^6 m/sec

When the input work on simple machine equals the work the machine is said to be 100% efficient
Semmy [17]

Answer:

This is not a question, but a statement. The concept that the work done is equal to the input work on a simple machine is called ideal machine. An ideal machine has 100% efficiency which means that there is no loss. All the amount of input work is equal to the useful output of the machine.

A softball of mass 0.220 kg that is moving with a speed of 5.5 m/s (in the positive direction) collides head-on and elastically
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of softball = 0.220 kg

Speed = 5.5 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the velocity of the target ball

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

0.220\times5.5+m_{2}\times0=0.220\times(-3.9)+m_{2}v_{2}

1.21=-0.858+m_{2}v_{2}

m_{2}v_{2}=2.068....(I)

The velocity approach is equal to the separation of velocity

u_{1}-u_{2}=v_{2}-v_{1}

5.5-0=v_{2}-(-3.9)

v_{2}=1.6\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the mass of the target ball

Now, Put the value of v₂ in equation (I)

m_{2}\times1.6=2.068

m_{2}=\dfrac{2.068}{1.6}

m_{2}=1.29\ kg

Hence, The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.

Ribosomes are like tiny “factories” within cells that do all of the following EXCEPT:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: translate DNA into RNA <3

Explanation:

An RNA polymerase binds to promoters and then breaks down hydrogen bonds between two strands of the DNA and attaches on one of them. A DNA strand is used as a template for a new RNA molecule. In this way, pre-mRNA is made, which becomes mRNA after the introns are removed.

A mRNA molecule enters the ribosomes, located in the cytoplasm. In these organelles, a transfer RNA attaches to a mRNA and the process of translation begins. The final product is a polypeptide chain.
