Answer:

Protons = 50

Mass number = 119

Explanation:

A neutral of tin, Sn, has a Z value of 50 and neutrons are 69.

Z is the atomic number. The atomic number is equal to number of protons or number of electrons in an atom that is neutral i.e:

Z = PROTONS = ELECTRONS

So the number of protons = 50 since Z is 50

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>¦

The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. To calculate mass number, we simply sum all the elementary particles in the nucleus i.e protons and neutrons. These particles are called the nucleons.

Mass number (A) = P + N

= 50 + 69

= 119

Unpolarized light with intensity I0I0I_0 is incident on an ideal polarizing filter. The emerging light strikes a second ideal po
zvonat [6]

Answer:

0.293I_0

Explanation:

When the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, only the component of the light parallel to the axis of the polarizer passes through.

Therefore, after the first polarizer, the intensity of light passing through it is halved, so the intensity after the first polarizer is:

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Then, the light passes through the second polarizer. In this case, the intensity of the light passing through the 2nd polarizer is given by Malus' law:

I_2=I_1 cos^2 \theta

where

\theta is the angle between the axes of the two polarizer

Here we have

\theta=40^{\circ}

So the intensity after the 2nd polarizer is

I_2=I_1 (cos 40^{\circ})^2=0.587I_1

And substituting the expression for I1, we find:

I_2=0.587 (\frac{I_0}{2})=0.293I_0

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by
kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

                  Momentum  =  mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

    Mass  = 1kg

     Velocity  = 5m/s

    Momentum of C = 1 x 5  = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

      Mass  = 100kg

      Velocity  = 5m/s

     Momentum of D  = 100kg x 5m/s  = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.
