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

How does water flowing over a waterfall involve both kinetic energy and potential energy?

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

While the water falls v increases and h decreases, so the kinetic energy increases and the gravitational potential energy decreases, and this happens in a way that the total energy is always the same. (If there is no friction)

Answer:

P = 1471500 [Pa]

Explanation:

We must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force over the area.

$P=F/A$

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

A = area of contact = 4 [cm²]

But first we must convert from cm² to m²

$A = 4[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{100^{2} cm^{2} }$

A = 0.0004 [m²]

Also, the weight should be calculated as follows:

$w = m*g$

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

$w = 60*9.81\\w = 588.6[N]$

And the pressure:

$P=588.6/0.0004\\P=1471500 [Pa]$

Because 1 [Pa] = 1 [N/m²]

A car accelerates from 300 km/h to 140 km/h in 2.53 seconds. what is the distance covered?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Time

Change in Velocity = 36-18 = 18 km/h=5 m/s

Time= 5 Seconds

Acceleration = 5/5= 1 m/s2

Equation of motion,s=ut+(1/2)at2

u=18 km/h=5 m/s

t=5 s

a=1 m/s2

s= (5*5)+(1/2*1*5*5)

s=25+12.5 i.e., s=37.5 m

Hope you are clear with my explanations
