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.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The tire fills up just like anything else that holds air when u pump a ball or tire up it fills all the way up cause it is a small confined space and after filling it with air the atoms of the air fill the tire up

A planet has been observed orbiting a nearby star. This star has a mass of 3.5 solar masses, and the planet is 4.2 AU from the s
kondaur [170]

Answer:

4.6 years

Explanation:

This is solved using Kepler's third law which says:

T^2=\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM} a^2

Where

T = Orbital period of the planet (in seconds)

a = Distance from the star (in meters)

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the parent star (in kg)

From the information given

M = 3.5M_{sun} = 6.96*10^{30} kg

a=4.2AU = 6.28*10^{11} meters

G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}

We put this into Kepler's law and get:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi ^2}{6.67*10^{-11}*6.96*10^{30}} (6.28*10^{11})^3}=145,128,196 seconds.

This when converted to years is 4.6 years.

Calculate the electric field at one corner of a square 50 cm on a side if the other corners are occupied by 250x10-7C (charges)
SIZIF [17.4K]

The electric field at one corner of a square is 1614217 N/C.

Explanation:

The distance between x and y direction diagonals.

As per the given details the distance between diagonals is calculated as

0.5² + 0.5² = c²  =>  c = 0.707 m

Charge to the right:  In x direction

In order to find the electric charge towards x direction

we use e = kq/r² formula

As 'k' is coulomb's constant it's value is 9 x 10^{9} N m²/C²

e = (9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.5)²

e = 9 x 10^{5} N/C

Charge diagonal:

e = kq/r²

e = [(9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.707)²] cos 45

e = 225000√2 N/C

X direction sum = 1218198 N/C.

Similarly as shown in x direction the charge is same for y direction also

Charge below:  For y direction

e = kq/r²

e = (9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.5)²

e = 9 x 10^{5} N/C

Charge diagonal:

e = kq/r²

e = [(9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.5)²] sin 45

e = 159099 N/C

Y direction sum = 1059099 N/C

Resultant electric field strength:

1218198 ² + 1059099² = e²

e = 1614217 N/C [45 degrees below the horizontal]
