An atom of sodium has a larger mass than an atom of neon. How is this possible when neon has so many more valence electrons?

The electrons contribute just about zero to the mass of an atom.
It takes more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of one
proton or neutron.

The naturally occurring element with the most complex atom is
Uranium. That's element #92 , so a neutral uranium atom has
92 electrons. It would take almost exactly 20 times that many
electrons to add the mass of one proton or neutron to the atom!
(And no other element has that many electrons in an atom of it.)

A charged object is suspended motionless in the air by the gravitational force pulling it down and an electric force pushing it

Savatey [412]

The charge of the object must be $1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }$

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Suppose an electric charge can be represented by the symbol Q. This electric charge generates an electric field; Because Q is the source of the electric field, we call this as source charge. The electric field strength of the source charge can be measured with any other charge anywhere in the area. The test charges used to test the field strength.

Its quantity indicated by the symbol q. In the electric field, q exerts an electric, either attractive or repulsive force. As usual, this force is indicated by the symbol F. The electric field’s magnitude is simply defined as the force per charge (q) on Q.

$Electric field, E=\frac{\text { Force }(F)}{q}$

Here, given E = 4500 N/C and F = 0.05 N.

We need to find charge of the object (q)

By substituting the given values, we get

$q=\frac{F}{E}=\frac{0.05 N}{4500 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{c}}=1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }$

A ball with a mass of 0.585 kg is initially at rest. It is struck by a second ball having a mass of 0.420 kg , initially moving

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

a) $(v_1)=0.3989m/s$

b) $\theta_1=80.5 \textdegree$

c) $K.E=0.036J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial speed of 1st ball $u_{1}=0 m/s$

Mass of 1st ball $m_1=0.585kg$

Mass of 2nd ball $m_2=0.420kg$

Initial speed of 2nd ball $u_{2}=0.270 m/s$

Final speed of 2nd ball $v_{2}=0.220 m/s$

Angle of collision $\angle=36.9 \textdegree$

a)

Generally the equation for law of conservation is mathematically given by

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2$

The final velocity $v_1$ is given as

$0+(0.420)(0.270)=(0.585)(v_1)^2+(0.420)(0.220)^2$

$(v_1)^2=\frac{(0.420)(0.270)-(0.420)(0.220)^2}{0.585}$

$(v_1)^2=0.1591$

$(v_1)=0.3989m/s$

b)

Generally the equation for law of conservation is mathematically given by

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1cos\theta_1+m_2\theta_2$

$0+(0.420)(0.270)=(0.585)(1.511)cos\theta_1+(0.420)(0.220)cos36 \textdegree$

$cos\theta_1= \frac{(0.420)(0.270)-(0.420)(0.220)cos36 \textdegree}{(0.585)(0.3989)}$

$cos\theta_1=0.1656$

$\theta_1=80.5 \textdegree$

c)

Generally the equation for kinetic energy is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

1st Ball

$K.E=\frac{1}{2} (0.585)(0.3989)^2$

$K.E=0.0465J$

2nd ball

$K.E=\frac{1}{2} (0.420)(0.220)^2$

$K.E=0.101J$

Therefore the change in the total kinetic energy of the two balls as a result of the collision is

$0.101-0.0465$

$K.E=0.036J$
