Answer:

A. They have the same atomic numbers.

Explanation:

Elements are defined based on the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus: this means that atoms of the same element have always the same number of protons in their nuclei (and so, always the same atomic number).

The other choices are wrong because:

B. They have the same average atomic masses. --> this is false for isotopes, which are atoms of the same element having a different number of neutrons. Since the atomic mass is calculated from the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, two isotopes of the same element have different atomic mass

C. They have the same number of electron shells. --> this can be false when an atom of an element loses/gains an electron, becoming an ion: in that case, the number of electron shells can change,  since the number of electrons has changed.

D. They have the same number of electrons in their outermost shells. --> this is also false in case one of the atoms is an ion, since the number of electrons is different.

A resistor of 5 Ω is placed in a circuit. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. What is the current through the resistor
Kaylis [27]
<span>Data:

</span>R = 5 Ω
U = 12 V
i = ?
<span>
Formula:

</span>U = R*i → i =  \frac{U}{R}<span>

Solving:

</span>i = \frac{U}{R}
i = \frac{12}{5}
\boxed{i = 2.4A}

For a given velocity of projection in a projectile motion, the maximum horizontal distance is possible only at ө = 45°. Substant
myrzilka [38]

First let us imagine the projectile launched at initial velocity V and at angle θ relative to the horizontal. (ignore wind resistance)

Vertical component y:

The initial vertical velocity is given as Vsinθ
The moment the projectile reaches the maximum height of h, the vertical velocity will be 0, therefore the time t taken to attain this maximum height is:

h = Vsinθ - gt
0 = Vsinθ - gt
t = (Vsinθ)/g

where g is  acceleration due to gravity

Horizontal component x:
The initial horizontal velocity is given as Vcosθ. However unlike the vertical component, this horizontal velocity remains constant because this is unaffected by gravity. The time to travel the horizontal distance D is twice the value of t times the horizontal velocity.
D = Vcosθ*[(2Vsinθ)/g] 
D = (2V²sinθ cosθ)/g 
 D = (V²sin2θ)/g

In order for D (horizontal distance) to be maximum, dD/dθ = 0
That is,

2V^2 cos2θ / g = 0
And since 2V^2/g must not be equal to zero, therefore cos(2θ) = 0
This is true when 2θ = π/2  or  θ = π/4


Therefore it is now<span> shown that the maximum horizontal travelled is attained when the launch angle is π/4 radians, or 45°.</span>
