What characteristic of an atom determines its properties

1 answer:

4 0

<em>The correct answer to this question is actually letter B.</em> To expound on this, let's discuss each choice.

A. The particles inside the nucleus, protons and nucleus, don't actually dictate the properties of substances because the nucleus constitutes very little space compared to the rest of the atoms.

B. It is the electrons, especially the valence electrons, that dictate the property because these are the electrons that take part in chemical reactions.

C. The atomic number is the number of protons. It has nothing to do with the neutrons.

D. The atomic mass only tells the weight of each atom. The weight does not dictate the chemical properties of a substance.

If Justin races his Chevy S-10 down highway 37 north for 2,560 meters in 60 seconds, what is

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A.) 42.7 m/s

B.) 0.33 m/s^2

C.) 90 kg

Explanation:

A.) If Justin races his Chevy S-10 down highway 37 north for 2,560 meters in 60 seconds, what is his velocity?

Velocity = displacement/time

Velocity = 2560/60

Velocity = 42.67 m/s

B.) The Chevy S-10 started rounding at 10 meters per hour. What is the acceleration at 30 seconds on the highway?

Acceleration = velocity/time

Acceleration = 10/30

Acceleration = 0.33 m/s^2

C.) The S-10 has a force of 30 N. What is the mass of the car?

Force = mass × acceleration

30 = mass × 0.33

Mass = 30/ 0.33

Mass = 90 kg

The 0.15kg baseball has a speed of v=30 m/s just before it is struck by the bat. It then travels along the trajectory shown befo

notka56 [123]

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

The mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

The speed at which it moves, v = 30 m/s

Time at which the baseball was in contact with the bat, t = 0.75 ms

t = 0.75/1000 s

t = 0.00075 s

The impulsive force is given by the formula:

$F=\frac{mv}{t}$

Substitute m = 0.15 kg, v = 30, and t = 0.00075s into the formula above:

$F=\frac{0.15 \times 30}{0.00075} \\\\F=6000N$

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

A string that is under 54.0 N of tension has linear density 5.20 g/m . A sinusoidal wave with amplitude 2.50 cm and wavelength 1

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

8.89288275 m/s

Explanation:

F = Tension = 54 N

$\mu$ = Linear density of string = 5.2 g/m

A = Amplitude = 2.5 cm

Wave velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{54}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v=101.90493\ m/s$

Frequency is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{101.90493}{1.8}\\\Rightarrow f=56.61385\ Hz$

Angular frequency is given by

$\omega=2\pi f\\\Rightarrow \omega=2\pi 56.61385\\\Rightarrow \omega=355.71531\ rad/s$

Maximum velocity of a particle is given by

$v_m=A\omega\\\Rightarrow v_m=0.025\times 355.71531\\\Rightarrow v_m=8.89288275\ m/s$

The maximum velocity of a particle on the string is 8.89288275 m/s

The photograph shows matter going through a physical change. Which characteristic of the matter changes?

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Possibly shape.

Explanation:

Because it is ripped in half. As you guys and the questioner can see that there is a wiggly strip down the middle. That also cause of a shape change.

I really hope my answer is right ^_^
