What happens when the number of protons in an atom changes

1 answer:

7 0

When you change the number of protons in an atom, you will change the atom from one element to a different element. Sometimes, when you add a proton to an element, the element will become radioactive. If you change the number of neutrons in an atom, you get an isotope of the same element.

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

$f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}$

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

$v_{o}$ : is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

$v_{s}$ : is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

$f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (1)

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

$f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}$ (2)

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}$

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (3)

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

$v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}$ (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

$\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

By solving the above equation for $v_{s_{a}}$ we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

$v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s$

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

$v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

I hope it helps you!

If two parallel conductors are both free to move and are carrying current in the same direction, what would happen if the curren

pishuonlain [190]

The wires would remain attracted to each other.

Option D.

Explanation:

It is known that magnetic flux will be generated in conductors with varying emf. So when current is flowing in two parallel conductors, the magnetic flux will be generated in those wires. If the current is flowing in same direction in both the wires, then the magnetic flux will be generated towards inside and outside the wires. Thus, the wire will get attracted to each other till the time the current is flowing in the same direction in both the wires. So if the current flow in each wire was reversed at the same time, then the wire would remain attracted to each other.
