What characteristic of an atom determines its properties

Physics
1 answer:
Tema [17]3 years ago
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.

Which is most buoyant in water? F) wood H) lead weight G) penny J) sugar
Zarrin [17]

Wood has a lower density than water, and thus the upward buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the weight of the wood submerged.

Penny has a smaller density

I would say wood would be ur best option.

A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/secon
n200080 [17]
To calculate the force of impact F, first lets calculate the acceleration a of the ball: 

a=v/t where v is the velocity of the ball and t is time

a=32/0.8=40 m/s²

To get the force F we need the Newtons second law:

F=m*a where m is the mass of the ball and a is the acceleration.

F=m*a= 0.2*40 = 8 N

So the impact force is F= 8 N.

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy. The energy used to do work
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

480J

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Delta U = Q - W

Q:Heat (J)

Delta U: Changes in internal Energy (J)

W:Work (J)

We can plug in the give numbers, Q and W.

Delta U = 658J - 178J = 480J
