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.

You are camping with two friends, Joe and Karl. Since all three of you like your privacy, you don't pitch your tents close toget
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

35.7 m

Explanation:

Let

\mid A\mid=18.5 m

\mid B\mid=41 m

We have to find the distance between Joe's and Karl'e tent.

A_x=Acos\theta

A_y=Asin\theta

Substitute the values then we get

A_x=18.5cos23^{\circ}=17 m

A_y=18.5sin 23^{\circ}=7.2 m

B_x=41cos37.5^{\circ}=32.5 m

B_y=41sin37.5^{\circ}=-24.96 m

Because vertical component of B lie in IV quadrant and y-inIV quadrant is negative.

By triangle addition of vector

B=A+C

C=B-A

C_x=B_x-A_x=32.5-17=15.5 m

C_y=B_y-A_y=-24.96-7.2=-32.16\approx=-32.2 m

\mid C\mid=\sqrt{C^2_x+C^2_y}

\mid C\mid=\sqrt{(15.5)^2+(-32.2)^2}=35.7 m

Hence, the distance between Joe's and Karl's tent=35.7 m

3. Hahn determined that barium (atomic number 56) was one of the elements created when a uranium atom (atomic number 92) split .
creativ13 [48]

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium.

<h3>What is the atomic number?</h3>

<em>Atomic</em> number is a characteristic associated with an element and indicates its number of protons, when a fision occurs, the total number protons is conserved.

Thus, the fission of uranium is led by two elements with <em>atomic</em> numbers 56 and 36. According to a periodic table, those <em>atomic</em> numbers are associated to elements Barium (Ba) and Krypton (Kr), respectively.

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium. \blacksquare

1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].

2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].

3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].

4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].
