How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 43 and its mass number is 164?

The atomic number is 43. This means it is Technetium. If its mass number is 164, then the number of neutrons is: 164 - 43 = 121. It has 121 neutrons.

Hello,
The mass number is protons+neutrons=mass number. In this case, we have protons+nuetron=164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43+neutrons=164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get nuetrons=121. Hope this helps!

A spring on Earth has a 0.500 kg mass suspended from one end and the mass is displaced by 0.3 m. What will the displacement of t

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity given by Newton's second law (which defines the weight of an object) and at the same time we will apply the Hooke relation that talks about the strength of a body in a system with spring.

The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Earth is 0.3m, then

$F_k = F_{W,E}$

$kx_1 = mg$

The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Moon is a value of $x_2$ , then

$kx_2 = mg_m$

Recall that gravity on the moon is a sixth of Earth's gravity.

$kx_2 = m\frac{g}{6}$

$kx_2 = \frac{1}{6} mg$

$kx_2 = \frac{1}{6} kx_1$

$x_2 = \frac{1}{6} x_1$

We have that the displacement at the earth was $x_1 = 0.3m$ , then

$x_2 = \frac{1}{6} 0.3$

$x_2 = 0.05m$

Therefore the displacement of the mass on the spring on Moon is 0.05m

The total resistance of the circuit <br>

ZanzabumX [31]

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances. Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the size of the resistor.

If you know the total current and the voltage across the whole circuit, you can find the total resistance using Ohm's Law: R = V / I. For example, a parallel circuit has a voltage of 9 volts and total current of 3 amps. The total resistance RT = 9 volts / 3 amps = 3 Ω

Current: The total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents. Resistance: Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total.

Suppose that two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of 16 units. If the distance between the two objects is r

Naddik [55]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant throughout the universe.

D is the distance between both objects.

D is now reduced by a factor of 5, meaning Dnew = D/5 we get

Fgravitynew = G*(mass1*mass2)/(D/5)² =

= G*(mass1*mass2)/(D²/25) =

= 25* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 25* Fgravity

the new force of gravity/attraction is 25×16 = 400 units.

if 100 kilojoules of energy is used to heat 500 grams of water what is the temperature change of the water

Serjik [45]

Answer:

47.8 °C

Explanation:

Use the heat equation:

q = mCΔT

where q is the heat absorbed/lost,

m is the mass of water,

C is the specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Here, q = 100 kJ, m = 0.5 kg, and C = 4.184 kJ/kg/°C.

100 kJ = (0.5 kg) (4.184 kJ/kg/°C) ΔT

ΔT = 47.8 °C
