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

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what

mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

To find the area;

Area = $\frac{force }{pressure}$

Area = $\frac{40000}{250000}$ = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = $\frac{0.16}{4}$ = 0.04m²

If each of the three rotor helicopter blades is 3.50 m long and has a mass of 120 kg , calculate the moment of inertia of the th

devlian [24]

Answer:

1470kgm²

Explanation:

The formula for expressing the moment of inertial is expressed as;

I = 1/3mr²

m is the mass of the body

r is the radius

Since there are three rotor blades, the moment of inertia will be;

I = 3(1/3mr²)

I = mr²

Given

m = 120kg

r = 3.50m

Required

Moment of inertia

Substitute the given values and get I

I = 120(3.50)²

I = 120(12.25)

I = 1470kgm²

Hence the moment of inertial of the three rotor blades about the axis of rotation is 1470kgm²

How much heat is needed to vaporize 10.00 grams of water at 100.0°C? The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,259 J/g

Nata [24]

Answer:

Heat of vaporization will be 22.59 j

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 10 gram

And heat of vaporization L = 2.259 J/gram

We have to find the heat required to vaporize 10 gram mass

We know that heat of vaporization is given by $Q=mL$ , here m is mass and L is latent heat of vaporization.

So heat of vaporization Q will be = 10×2.259 = 22.59 J
